Anomalies

In the book Tesla: Man Out of Time, there are references to missing patents.^[9] Some patents of his experiments are lost to history, as well as some of the scientific notes and records pertaining to Tesla’s patents. These, though, are alluded to in the redacted FBI files. The missing patents may be among effects seized by government agents and military intelligence officers following Tesla’s death in 1943. In various patent logs, it is recorded Tesla received U.S. Patent 613,819 for “Filings Tube” (such as Charles Henry Sewall’s “Wireless Telegraphy” (New York, 1904)).^[10][11] This number does not match the U. S. Patent office records (that patent is issued to G. Kelly for an “Illuminating torch“).

This brought me to my system of television which I announced at that time…”

33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know…

33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know… (Updated, Revised and Extended)

By Jonathan Elinoff, New World Order Report

If you enjoy this article, please check out my documentary film series, Core of Corruption.

If you haven’t seen my documentary, “Core of Corruption: In the Shadows,” you can watch it here.  If you want to help support my work and my website so that I may continue to provide my research and entertainment, you can purchase a DVD here: CoreOfCorruption.com  In the 1st installment of the film, I cover the grounds that the attacks of 9/11 had complicit parties that have not yet been charged with the crime and the United States is largely unaware of the fact that the attacks on 9/11 were the result of a much larger network of terrorists that go unnamed and are not being pursued.  These terrorists include complicit figures from with powerful establishments and governments.  Evidence has mounted that Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Israel and even the United States have a small rogue element from within its intelligence community, namely the counter-intelligence community, that may have had some involvement in the financing, training or carrying out of the attacks.  I know it sounds crazy at first, but watch my documentary on 9/11 and I think you will see the overwhelming evidence for this case.

After reading the article released by Cracked.com, I decided to update and revise their work. The article gave me a chuckle because it lacked many famous and much larger conspiracy theories that became known.  Their article had only listed seven. I can name 33 and I am about to release a revised list soon with 75.  The article I read at cracked can be viewed here, but don’t waste your time, all of that is in this article and more.

Most people can’t resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem.  At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue … and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous.  Lets not forget all of the thousands of conspiracies out of Wall Street like Bernie Madoff and many others to commit fraud and extortion, among many crimes of conspiracy.  USA Today reports that over 75% of personal ads in the paper and on craigslist are married couples posing as single for a one night affair.  When someone knocks on your door to sell you a set of knives or phone cards, anything for that matter, do they have a profit motive?  What is conspiracy other than just a scary way of saying “alternative agenda”?  When 2 friends go to a bar and begin to plan their wingman approach on 2 girls they see at the bar, how often are they planning on lying to those girls?“  I own a small business and am in town for a short while.Oh yeah, you look beautiful.”

Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy.  However, it has come almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning.  To conspire means “to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end.  “The term “conspiracy theory” is frequently used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from “the people”.

To many, conspiracy theories are just human nature.  Not all people in this world are honest, hard working and forthcoming about their intentions.Certainly we can all agree on this.So how did the term “conspiracy theory” get grouped in with fiction, fantasy and folklore?  Maybe that’s a conspiracy, just kidding.  Or am I?

Skeptics are important in achieving an objective view of reality, however, skeptism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline.  In fact, a conspiracy theory can be argued as an alternative to the official or “mainstream” story of events.  Therefore, when skeptics attempt to ridicule a conspiracy theory by using the official story as a means of proving the conspiracy wrong, in effect, they are just reinforcing the original “mainstream” view of history, and actually not being skeptical.  This is not skeptism, it is just a convenient way for the establishment view of things to be seen as the correct version, all the time, every time.  In fact, it is common for “hit pieces” or “debunking articles” to pick extremely fringe and not very populated conspiracy theories.  This in turn makes all conspiracies on a subject matter look crazy.  Skeptics magazine and Popular Mechanics, among many others, did this with 9/11.  They referred to less than 10% of the many different conspiracy theories about 9/11 and picked the less popular ones, in fact, they picked the fringe, highly improbable points that only a few people make.  This was used as the “final investigation” for looking into the conspiracy theories. Convenient, huh?

In fact, if one were to look into conspiracy theories, they will largely find that thinking about a conspiracy is associated with lunacy and paranoia. Some websites suggest it as an illness. It is also not surprising to see so many people on the internet writing about conspiracy theories in a condescending tone, usually with the words “kool-aid,” “crack pot,” or “nut job” in their articulation. This must be obvious to anyone that emotionally writing about such serious matter insults the reader more than the conspiracy theorist because there is no need to resort to this kind of behavior. It is employed often with an “expert” who will say something along the lines of, “for these conspiracies to be true, you would need hundreds if not thousands of people to be involved. It’s just not conceivable.”

I find it extremely odd that the assumption is on thousands of participants in a conspiracy. I, for one, find it hard to believe any conspiracy involving more than a handful of people but the fact remains that there have been conspiracies in our world, proven and not made up, that involved many hundreds of people. It’s not a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact.

One more thing to consider, have you noticed that if the conspiracy is involving powerful interests with the ability to bribe, threaten or manipulate major institutions (like the mafia, big corporations or government) then don’t you find it odd when people use one of those as the “credible” counter-argument? What I mean is, if you are discussing a conspiracy about the mafia, and someone hands you a debunking article that was written by the Mafia, it doesn’t seem like it would take rocket science to look at that with serious criticism and credibility. This is the case with many conspiracies. In fact, I am handed debunking pieces all the time written in many cases by the conspirators in question. Doesn’t this seem odd to anybody else but me?

While intelligent cynicism certainly can be healthy, though, some of the greatest discoveries of all time were initially received (often with great vitriol) as blasphemous conspiracy theories — think of the revelation that the earth was not the center of the universe, or that the world was not flat but actually round.

What follow are some of the most shocking modern conspiracy theories that turned out true after thorough investigation by our society.  Some of them were proven through congressional hearings; others, through investigative journalism.  Many, however, were just admitted to by those involved.  There is a long list, of which just 33 appear below.  Many of these are listed with references to original and credible news clips on the matter, as well as to documentaries.

1.The Dreyfus Affair: In the 1890s in France, Jewish artillery officer Alfred Dreyfus was wrongfully convicted of treason based on fabricated government documents and sentenced to life in prison.  The French government covered this up for several years, but Dreyfus was eventually pardoned after the affair was made public (an act that is credited to writer Émile Zola).

2.The Mafia: This secret crime society was virtually unknown until the 1960s, when member Joe Valachi first revealed the society’s secrets to law enforcement officials.What was known was that organized crime existed, but not that the extent of their control included working with the CIA, politicians and the biggest businesses in the world.

Many people do not realize that J. Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States, was appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation—predecessor to the FBI—in 1924 and was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a large and efficient crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modern innovations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories.  For the majority of his time as FBI Director, there were numerous Mafia shootings as a result of Prohibition.  Hoover continued to deny the very existence of organized crime.  Many figures in politics and media denied the existence of the Mafia, which had no official title.  Gangsters like Gambino and Capone were thought of as Street Kings only, just running local operations.  It was not until the 1960’s until people began to learn that a very organized system of superiors and control existed within the organized crime world.  Arnold Rothstein, the man who rigged the World Series, started the major drug trade and is credited as being the “King of the Roaring 20’s.” In his biography, he is said to have brought Lucky Luciano into his business and trained him to start “The Commission.”  Five families in New York would work together and pay their dues.  Throughout the entire time the media and the FBI denied the mafia existed, in reality, not only did it exist, but it operated in multiple territories.  Each region had a boss and underboss, with soldiers underneath them.  Above the boss was a Don and even above a Don was more figures.  As it went up, regions got larger.  It was extremely organized, down to the books.  In the 1950’s, crime bosses from around the United States met to centralize their power and organize their system.  All this time, the public was told that the organized crime world didn’t exist, and that all the crimes were committed by local gangsters…

Even with all we knew about how organized the mafia was during prohibition, people still laugh at the idea of organized crime conspiracies taking place in politics.  Usually the excuse people wll give you is something along the lines of, “I just don’t think people are that organized…”  Funny how easy it must be to get away with stuff these days, no one believes its possible….

3.MK-ULTRA:

Jared Lee Loughner, pictured above

If you don’t know what MK Ultra is, read the 3rd paragraph.  You need to so that you understand conspiracy theorists context in referring to Loughner, the shooter in Arizona, as potential MK Ultra. Well this is weird, Loughner’s attorney, who defended “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, also may have represented Tim McVeigh. Tim McVeigh, a lot of people don’t know, was seeing the #2 mind sciences doctor in the country ordered by the military from his years in Desert Storm. Some people, like Alex Jones, believe McVeigh was Mk Ultra as well. It appears Loughner was seen dazed, confused and smiling like a lunatic after the shooting. Very similar to programming side affects, but not evidence yet. One story online shows there is a 2nd man they are seeking for arrest in the shooting, someone who was with Loughner right before the shooting who was meeting with him. They have video of this man from surveillance cameras near by.

I can say this with confidence, it appears there is enough evidence to start the rumor mill over MK Ultra. I expect you will hear conspiracy theorists discussing this shooting for a while, especially if some kind of bill, law or anti-terror act is passed quickly as a result of the trauma and tragedy.

What is MK Ultra?

Mk Ultra was a code name declassified in the 1970’s Church Committee and other lawsuits brought against the government where the public was informed that thousands of people, patients from hospitals, mental health patients, prisoners in the… justice system, and even public citizens were selected for testing without their consent. Testing was conducted int he 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Some claim they still go on today and provide evidence. The testing includes torture, drugs and exotic hypnosis experiments in an effort to explore the mind, propaganda and other related patterns. One sub department of the operation included a group of lunatic scientists who were looking to create an assassins program, to see if it was possible to kidnap someone, say an enemy in a country, conduct hypnosis and other techniques learned in Mk Ultra, and send them back to the country with a plan to assassinate their leaders. That plan is what scares people most. MK Ultra was carried out by the CIA illegally and in the 1970s, hundreds of patients sued the federal government for damages, and the government settled and paid millions of dollars.

Now here is the really trippy, scary info. Some of these patients where MK Ultra was used include Ted Kazinsky (the unabpmber), mark David Chapman (the man who shot Lennon), Sirhan Sirhan (the man who shot Bobby Kennedy) and even Lee Harvey Oswald is rumored to have attended a base in japan before heading to Russia where MK Ultra experiments were taking place. David Ferrie, Oswalds boss for a long period of time, is said to have been an MK Ultra specialist and specialized in hypnosis and believe it or not, sexual molestation to mess with his patients heads. David Ferrie was a convicted child predator who left the Catholic Church to train Black Operations hitmen for the invasion of Cuba. David Ferrie taught the Louisiana Civial Air Patrol where both Lee Harvey Oswald and Barry Seal joined as 15 year old children. Barry Seal became the primary operative in Iran-Contra who ran drugs for the CIA and was an active contract hitman, Oswlad was accused of killing John F Kennedy. David Ferrie was murdered, made to look like a suicide, the night before his testimony in a trial Jim Garrison brought against the CIA where he accused Ferrie and others of using Oswald as a patsy…

I have tons more info on this subject matter for my film “Convenient Deaths: History of Assassinations, Black Operations and the CIA”

George HW Bush was Director of the CIA during the time many of the MK Ultra cases were brought against the government.  He was a major oil tycoon and Skull and Bonesman who was active in CIA operations before that and after his director position at the CIA was Vice President of the CIA.  HW Bush later became president after previously sitting as Vice President during the Reagan Years.

Many people have pointed out George HW Bush’s connections to the Kennedy Assassination during the years Bush Sr was involved with CIA Operations against Cuba while he owned Zapata Oil.  Lee Harvey Oswald even attended a social dinner with CIA operatives where Bush Sr was present years before the assassination, as pointed out in many books and research by investigators.  One good book that will fill you in on all this is “Family of Secrets.”

A film that came out a few years ago attempted to show the connections of Bush Sr to Kennedy’s assassination called JFK II which you can view here:

John Hinckley, Jr. and President Reagan

In 1980, Hinckley Sr. was a Texas oilman who, the records show, strove mightily to get fellow Texas oilman George H.W. Bush the Republican nomination for president. The Bushes and the Hinckleys were frequent dinner companions.  An almost bewildered John Chancellor on NBC Nightly News reported “the bizarre coincidence” that Vice President Bush’s son, Neil, and Scott Hinckley had dinner plans for March 31, 1981 — now cancelled, of course.  [But even Chancellor failed to mention the close friendship between the the assassin’s father and Vice  President Bush–let alone the rest of the corporate media.]

Here is the NBC Clip that I found in archives and shared with the internet a while ago.  This same clip, along with countless others, were collected for my documentary film series, Core of Corruption where you can see them at CoreOfCorruption.com or NewWorldOrderReport.com and they were also given to Jason Bermas to appear in Invisible Empire.

Reports indicate that the Bush family strove mightily to keep this information from the American people.  And some reports list this incredible “coincidence” — directly linked to the assassination attempt of President Reagan — as one of the most spiked stories of the last century.

In other words, the brother of the shooter and the son of the vice-president (and their wives) had a dinner date for the day after the shooting. But it really wasn’t such “a bizarre coincidence.” Those two families were very close; but the press never focused on that critical fact as it should have. If Reagan had died, the oilmen’s interests would have been served.

The weirdest part about it was that Hinkley was able to make and receive phone calls from his hotel room but chose to walk a great distance and wait by a public payphone where he waited for contacts everyday, as though it was apart of a conspiracy with co-conspirators…

A very good read on the Hinckley-Bush connections is a book that came out about 20 years ago, entitled, “The Afternoon of March 30.”  It was published as a novel in order to protect the author. This book is now more relevant than ever, and it can be obtained at:

http://www.nathanielblumberg.com/bush.htm.

Neil Bush, a landman for Amoco Oil, told Denver reporters he had met Scott Hinckley at a surprise party at the Bush home January 23, 1981 [Nine weeks before Hinckley’s brother John Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan–which would have elevated Bush Sr. to the presidency], and approximately three weeks after the U.S. Department of Energy had begun what was termed a “routine audit” of the books of the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation, the Hinckley oil company. In an incredible coincidence, on the morning of March 30 [the day of the Reagan assassination attempt by John Hinckley, Jr.], three representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy told Scott Hinckley, John Hinckley Jr.’s older brother and Vanderbilt’s vice president of operations, that auditors had uncovered evidence of pricing violations on crude oil sold by the company from 1977 through 1980.  The auditors announced that the federal government was considering a penalty of two million dollars. [This, on the same day that his brother John–the youngest son of Vice President Bush’s close friend–attempted the assassination!]  Scott Hinckley reportedly requested “several hours to come up with an explanation” of the serious overcharges. The meeting ended a little more than an hour before John Hinckly Jr. shot President Reagan.

2.   Excerpts from an interview by Theresa Walla, United Press International, March 9, 1985:  Journalism professor Nathaniel Blumberg was so disturbed about the  investigation into the attempted assassination of President Reagan that he turned his suspicions into a 377-page novel.

In The Afternoon of March 30 , Blumberg blends fact and fiction in looking at the unreported “connections” between Hinckley’s family and that of Vice President George Bush, the man who came within a heartbeat of the presidency of the United States.  “What I’m really after is the case to be officially reopened,” said the Rhodes scholar and former dean of the University of Montana journalism school. “If they can answer all the questions satisfactorily, I’ll be delighted,” he said in an interview. “In truth, I don’t think all the questions can be answered without opening up a whole new can of worms.”

Blumberg’s unease is now focused on the indifference shown to what he calls “the story behind the story.” Bush, he said, has questions to answer in connection with the attempt. So do the FBI and the judge who presided over Hinckley’s trial, according to Blumberg.

“I’m not saying there was a conspiracy to assassinate Reagan,” Blumberg emphasized. “I’m saying there was a conspiracy to keep significant information from the public that it has a right to know.”

Blumberg asks his readers to consider his contentions that journalists were fed a barely believable story full of inconsistencies. A long-time media critic, he decided the example warranted more than a critique of press performance in a crisis. Such efforts, he said, usually “go out there and die.” Instead, he chose to weave his questions into a novel so it would reach a broader audience and allow him to probe problems in society and corruption in government, as well as maladies of the U.S. press.

Here are some of the videos of the testimony from MK Ultra survivors during court cases against the government:

The CIA’s Project MKULTRA: Secret Human Experimentation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P35maITNqc&feature=related

In the 1950s to the 1970s, the CIA mind-control project was aimed at finding a “truth serum” to use on communist spies. Test subjects were given LSD and other drugs, often without consent, and some were tortured. At least one man, civilian biochemist Frank Olson, who was working for the government, died as a result of the experiments. The project was finally exposed after investigations by the Rockefeller Commission.

A short video about MK-ULTRA from a documentary called Secrets of the CIA:

4.Operation Mockingbird: Also in the 1950s to ’70s, the C.I.A. paid a number of well-known domestic and foreign journalists (from big-name media outlets such as Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, CBS, and others) to publish C.I.A. propaganda.  The C.I.A. also reportedly funded at least one movie, the animated Animal Farm, based on the novel by George Orwell.  The Church Committee finally exposed these activities in 1975.

In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.

Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the past 25 years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. Some of these journalists’ relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services — from simple intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens with spies in Communist countries.Reporters shared their notebooks with the CIA. Editors shared their staffs. Some of the journalists were Pulitzer Prize winners, distinguished reporters who considered themselves ambassadors without portfolio for their country. Most were less exalted: foreign correspondents who found that their association with the Agency helped their work; stringers and freelancers who were as interested in the derring-do of the spy business as in filing articles; and, the smallest category, full-time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad. In many instances, CIA documents show, journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of the managements of America’s leading news organizations.

The history of the CIA’s involvement with the American press continues to be shrouded by an official policy of obfuscation and deception for the following principal reasons:

• The use of journalists has been among the most productive means of intelligence-gathering employed by the CIA. Although the agency has cut back sharply on the use of reporters since 1973 (primarily as a result of pressure from the media), some journalists are still posted abroad.

• Further investigation into the matter, CIA officials say, would inevitably reveal a series of embarrassing relationships in the 1950’s and 1960’s with some of the most powerful organizations and individuals in American journalism.

Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were William Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Time Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and James Copley of the Copley News Services. Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, the Miami Herald and the oldSaturday Evening Post and New York Herald-Tribune.

By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc.

[…]

Appropriately, the CIA uses the term ‘reporting’ to describe much of what cooperating journalists did for the Agency. “We would ask them, ‘Will you do us a favor?'” said a senior CIA official. “‘We understand you’re going to be in Yugoslavia. Have they paved all the streets? Where did you see planes? Were there any signs of military presence? How many Soviets did you see? If you happen to meet a Soviet, get his name and spell it right….Can you set up a meeting for us? Or arrange a message?'” Many CIA officials regarded these helpful journalists as operatives: the journalists tended to see themselves as trusted friends of the Agency who performed occasional favors — usually without pay — in the national interest.

[…]

Two of the Agency’s most valuable relationships in the 1960’s, according to CIA officials, were with reporters who covered Latin America — Jerry O’Leary of the Washington Star and Hal Hendrix of Miami News, a Pulitzer Prize winner who became a high official of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation. Hendrix was extremely helpful to the Agency in providing information about individuals in Miami’s Cuban exile community.

A note about Hendrix – he was the one who Seth Kantor, reporting on the JFK assassination, was told to call for ‘background’ on Oswald after Oswald’s arrest. Hendrix, from Miami, had all the info on Oswald’s pro-Castro leafleting activities in New Orleans, details about Oswald’s defection to the Soviet Union, etc.

Only years later did Kantor realize the significance of a guy like Hendrix, CIA, having so much info on Oswald so soon after the assassination.

“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”
–William Colby, former CIA Director, quoted by Dave Mcgowan, Derailing Democracy

“You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month.”
–CIA operative, discussing the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories.Katherine the Great, by Deborah Davis

“There is quite an incredible spread of relationships.  You don’t need to manipulate Time magazine, for example, because there are [Central Intelligence] Agency people at the management level.”
–William B. Bader, former CIA intelligence officer, briefing members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

“The Agency’s relationship with [The New York] Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials.  [It was] general Times policy … to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible.”
—The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

“Senator William Proxmire has pegged the number of employees of the federal intelligence community at 148,000 … though Proxmire’s number is itself a conservative one.  The “intelligence community” is officially defined as including only those organizations that are members of the U.S. Intelligence Board (USIB); a dozen other agencies, charged with both foreign and domestic intelligence chores, are not encompassed by the term….  The number of intelligence workers employed by the federal government is not 148,000, but some undetermined multiple of that number.”
–Jim Hougan, Spooks

“For some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment.  It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government….  I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations.”
–former President Harry Truman, 22 December 1963, one month after the JFK assassination, op-ed section of theWashington Post, early edition

5.Manhattan Project:The Manhattan Project was the codename for a project conducted during World War II to develop the first atomic bomb.  The project was led by the United States, and included participation from the United Kingdom and Canada.  Its formal designation, the Manhattan Engineer District (MED), refers specifically to the period of the project, 1942–1946, when it was under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves.  The scientific research was directed by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.  The project’s roots lay in scientists’ fears since the 1930s that Nazi Germany was also investigating nuclear weapons of its own.

Born out of a small research program in 1939, the Manhattan Project eventually employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion ($22 billion in current value).  It resulted in the creation of multiple production and research sites that operated in secret.  The total involved makes it one of the largest few conspiracies in history.  Entire towns were built for short periods, employing people all under secrecy—and top national secrecy at that.  The government never admitted to it, the media never reported on it, and for more than 25 years the public had no idea of it.

Project research took place at more than thirty sites across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.  The three primary research and production sites of the project were the plutonium-production facility at what is now the Hanford Site; the uranium-enrichment facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and the weapons-research and -design laboratory now known as Los Alamos National Laboratory.  The MED maintained control over U.S. weapons production until the formation of the Atomic Energy Commission in January 1947.

6.Asbestos: Between 1930 and 1960, manufacturers did all they could to prevent the link between asbestos and respiratory diseases, including cancer, from becoming known, so that they could avoid prosecution.  American workers in fact sued the Johns Manville company as early as 1932, but it was not until 1962 that epidemiologists finally established beyond any doubt what company bosses had known for a long time: that asbestos causes cancer.

7.Watergate:  Republican officials spied on the Democratic National Headquarters from the Watergate Hotel in 1972.  Whilst conspiracy theories suggested that underhanded dealings were taking place, it wasn’t until 1974 that White House tape recordings linked President Nixon to the break-in and forced him to resign.

8.The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: The United States Public Health Service carried out this clinical study on 400 poor African-American men with syphilis from 1932 to 1972.  During the study, the men were given false and sometimes dangerous treatments; adequate treatment was intentionally withheld so that the agency could learn more about the disease.  The study, which was initially supposed to last just six months, continued for 40 years.  Close to 200 of the men had died from syphilis or related complications by its end.

9.Operation Northwoods: In the early 1960s, American military leaders drafted plans to create public support for a war against Cuba, to oust Fidel Castro from power.  The plans included committing acts of terrorism in U.S. cities, killing innocent people and U.S. soldiers, blowing up a U.S. ship, assassinating Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees, and hijacking planes.  The plans were all approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but were reportedly rejected by the civilian leadership.  They were kept secret for nearly 40 years.

Author James Bamford, “A Pretext For War”, discusses the declassified “Operation Northwoods” documents revealing that in 1962 the CIA was planning to stage phony terrorist attacks on the US and blame it on Cuba to start a war:

10.1990 Testimony of Nayirah:  A 15-year-old girl named Nayirah testified before the U.S. Congress that she had seen Iraqi soldiers pulling Kuwaiti babies from incubators, causing them to die.  The testimony helped gain major public support for the 1991 Gulf War, but—despite protests that the dispute of this story was itself a conspiracy theory—the testimony was was later proven false.

The public-relations firm Hill & Knowlton, then in the employ of Citizens for a Free Kuwait, had arranged Nayirah’s testimony.  It turned out that Nayirah had taken acting lessons at the request of the C.I.A. and was actually Nayirah al-Sabah, the niece of a major politician in Kuwait and daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S.A.

The Congressional Human Rights Caucus, of which Congressman Tom Lantos was co-chairman, had been responsible for hosting Nurse Nayirah, and thereby popularizing her allegations.  When the girl’s account was later challenged by independent human rights monitors, Lantos replied, “The notion that any of the witnesses brought to the caucus through the Kuwaiti Embassy would not be credible did not cross my mind…  I have no basis for assuming that her story is not true, but the point goes beyond that.  If one hypothesizes that the woman’s story is fictitious from A to Z, that in no way diminishes the avalanche of human rights violations”.  Nevertheless, the senior Republican on the Human Rights Caucus, John Edward Porter, responded to the revelations by saying that if he had known that the girl was the ambassador’s daughter, he would not have allowed her to testify.

11.Counter Intelligence Programs Against Activists in the 60s:COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception, however formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971. The FBI’s stated motivation at the time was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order.”According to FBI records, 85% of COINTELPRO resources were expended on infiltrating, disrupting, marginalizing, and/or subverting groups suspected of being subversive, such as communist and socialist organizations; the women’s rights movement; militant black nationalist groups, and the non-violent civil rights movement, including individuals such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and others associated with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Congress of Racial Equality, the American Indian Movement, and other civil rights groups; a broad range of organizations labeled “New Left”, including Students for a Democratic Society, the National Lawyers Guild, the Weathermen, almost all groups protesting the Vietnam War, and even individual student demonstrators with no group affiliation; and nationalist groups such as those “seeking independence for Puerto Rico.” The other 15% of COINTELPRO resources were expended to marginalize and subvert “white hate groups,” including the Ku Klux Klan and National States’ Rights Party.The directives governing COINTELPRO were issued by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who ordered FBI agents to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the activities of these movements and their leaders.

This is a documentary on COINTELPRO:

Main Core is the code name of a database maintained since the 1980s by the federal government of the United States, which contains personal and financial data of millions of U.S. citizens believed to be threats to national security.  The data, which comes from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources, is collected and stored without warrants or court orders. The database’s name derives from the fact that it contains “copies of the ‘main core’ or essence of each item of intelligence information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community.”

The Main Core database is believed to have originated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 1982, following Ronald Reagan’s Continuity of Operations plan outlined in the National Security Directive (NSD) 69 / National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 55, entitled “Enduring National Leadership,” implemented on September 14, 1982.

As of 2008 there are reportedly eight million Americans listed in the database as possible threats, often for trivial reasons, whom the government may choose to track, question, or detain in a time of crisis.

The existence of the database was first reported on in May 2008 by Christopher Ketcham and in July 2008 by Tim Shorrock.

Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, is a plan by the United States federal government to test their ability to detain large numbers of American citizens in case of civil unrest or national emergency.

According to scholar Diana Reynolds:

The Rex-84 Alpha Explan (Readiness Exercise 1984, Exercise Plan; otherwise known as a continuity of government plan), indicates that FEMA in association with 34 other federal civil departments and agencies, along with other NATO nations, conducted a civil readiness exercise during April 5-13, 1984. It was conducted in coordination and simultaneously with a Joint Chiefs exercise, Night Train 84, a worldwide military command post exercise (including Continental U.S. Forces or CONUS) based on multi-emergency scenarios operating both abroad and at home. In the combined exercise, Rex-84 Bravo, FEMA and DOD led the other federal agencies and departments, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service, the Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Veterans Administration through a gaming exercise to test military assistance in civil defense.

The exercise anticipated civil disturbances, major demonstrations and strikes that would affect continuity of government and/or resource mobilization. To fight subversive activities, there was authorization for the military to implement government ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels, the arrest of certain unidentified segments of the population, and the imposition of martial law.

Existence of a master military contingency plan, “Garden Plot” and a similar earlier exercise, “Lantern Spike” were originally revealed by journalist Ron Ridenhour, who summarized his findings in “Garden Plot and the New Action Army.”

Rex 84 was mentioned during the Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987. The Miami Herald wrote subsequently on July 5, 1987:

See video of it here:

Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North and the Federal Emergency Management Agency … had drafted a contingency plan providing for the suspension of the Constitution, the imposition of martial law, and the appointment of military commanders to head state and local governments and to detain dissidents and Central American refugees in the event of a national crisis.

The basic facts about Rex 84 and other contingency planning readiness exercises—and the potential threat they pose to civil liberties if fully implemented in a real operation—are taken seriously by scholars and civil libertarians.

Exercises similar to Rex 84 happen regularly. Plans for roundups of large numbers of persons in the United States in times of crisis are constructed during periods of increased political repression such as the Palmer Raids and the McCarthy Era.

For example, from 1967 to 1971 the FBI kept a list of over 100,000 persons to be rounded up as subversive, dubbed the “ADEX” list. This list contained many labor leaders, scholars, and public figures of the time.

In 2008, for the first time an active military unit has been given a dedicated assignment stateside for civil unrest containment. It is assigned to Northcom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.

12.The Iran-Contra Affair: In 1985 and ’86, the White House authorized government officials to secretly trade weapons with the Israeli government that were then secretly traded with Iran in exchange for the release of U.S. hostages held in Iran. The funds from the trades were then used to help finance the illegal war in Nicaragua.  The plot was uncovered by Congress in 1987.  The documentary series, Core of Corruption, will be exploring details on the Iran Contra conspiracy in greater detail. The series if 5 seperate films written and directed by Jonathan Elinoff, investigative journalist and reporter for the New World Order Report.  During Iran Contra, drug smuggling by the CIA was uncovered and to this day the United States population is largely unaware of the findings of this information.  Both posts on CIA drug running in this article of 33 conspiracies that turned out to be true are about this very topic of drug running during Iran Contra.

13.The BCCI Scandal: The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a major international bank founded in 1972 by Agha Hasan Abedi, a Pakistani financier. The Bank was registered in Luxembourg. Within a decade BCCI touched its peak, it operated in 78 countries, had over 400 branches, and had assets in excess of US$ 20 billion making it the 7th largest private bank in the world by assets. In the late 1980’s BCCI became the target of a two year undercover operation conducted by the US Customs Service. This operation concluded with a fake wedding that was attended by BCCI officers and drug dealers from around the world who had established a personal friendship and working relationship with undercover Special Agent Robert Mazur. After a six month trial in Tampa, key bank officers were convicted and received lengthy prison sentences. Bank officers began cooperating with law enforcement authorities and that cooperation caused BCCI’s many crimes to be revealed. BCCI came under the scrutiny of regulatory bodies and intelligence agencies in the 1980s due to its perceived avoidance of falling under one regulatory banking authority, a fact that was later, after extensive investigations, proven to be false. BCCI became the focus of a massive regulatory battle in 1991 and was described as a “$20-billion-plus heist”. Investigators in the U.S. and the UK revealed that BCCI had been “set up deliberately to avoid centralized regulatory review, and operated extensively in bank secrecy jurisdictions. Its affairs were extraordinarily complex. Its officers were sophisticated international bankers whose apparent objective was to keep their affairs secret, to commit fraud on a massive scale, and to avoid detection.”

14.CIA Drug Running in LA: Pulitzer Prize Award winning journalist Gary Webb exposed this alongside LAPD Narcotics Officer turned whislteblower and author Michael Ruppert, CIA Contract Pilot Terry Reed, and many others. In August 1996 the San Jose Mercury News published Webb’s “Dark Alliance”, a 20,000 word, three-part investigative series which alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers had sold and distributed crack cocaine in Los Angeles during the 1980s, and that drug profits were used to fund the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras. Webb never asserted that the CIA directly aided drug dealers to raise money for the Contras, but he did document that the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of cocaine into the U.S. by the Contra personnel. “Dark Alliance” received national attention. At the height of the interest, the web version of it on San Jose Mercury News website received 1.3 million hits a day. According to the Columbia Journalism Review, the series became “the most talked-about piece of journalism in 1996 and arguably the most famous—some would say infamous—set of articles of the decade.”

15.Gulf of Tonkin Never Happened:The Gulf of Tonkin Incident is the name given to two separate incidents involving the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the United States in the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. On August 2, 1964 two American destroyers engaged three North Vietnamese torpedo boats, resulting in the sinking of one of the torpedo boats.This was also the single most important reason for the escalation of the Vietnam War.After Kennedy was assassinated, the Gulf of Tonkin gave the country the sweeping support for aggressive military action against the North Vietnamese.

The outcome of the incident was the passage by Congress of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which granted President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be jeopardized by “communist aggression”.In 2005, an internal National Security Agency historical study was declassified; it concluded that USS Maddox had engaged the North Vietnamese on August 2, but that there may not have been any North Vietnamese vessels present during the engagement of August 4. The report stated “It is not simply that there is a different story as to what happened; it is that no attack happened that night…”In truth, Hanoi’s navy was engaged in nothing that night but the salvage of two of the boats damaged on August 2.In 1965, President Johnson commented privately: “For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.”

In 1981, Captain Herrick and journalist Robert Scheer re-examined Herrick’s ship’s log and determined that the first torpedo report from August 4, which Herrick had maintained had occurred—the “apparent ambush”—was in fact unfounded.In 1995, retired Vietnamese Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap, meeting with former Secretary of Defense McNamara, categorically denied that Vietnamese gunboats had attacked American destroyers on August 4, while admitting to the attack on August 2.In the Fall of 1999, retired senior CIA engineering executive S. Eugene Poteat wrote that he was asked in early August 1964 to determine if the radar operator’s report showed a real torpedo boat attack or an imagined one.In October, 2005 the New York Times reported that Robert J. Hanyok, a historian for the U.S. National Security Agency, had concluded that the NSA deliberately distorted the intelligence reports that it had passed on to policy-makers regarding the August 4, 1964 incident. He concluded that the motive was not political but was probably to cover up honest intelligence errors.

16.The Business Plot:In 1933, group of wealthy businessmen that allegedly included the heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush tried to recruit Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler to lead a military coup against President FDR and install a fascist dictatorship in the United States. And yes, we’re talking about the same Prescott Bush who fathered one US President and grandfathered another one.Smedley Butler was both a patriot and a vocal FDR supporter. Apparently none of these criminal masterminds noticed that their prospective point man had actively stumped for FDR in 1932.Smedley spilled the beans to a congressional committee in 1934.

Everyone he accused of being a conspirator vehemently denied it, and none of them were brought up on criminal charges. Still, the House McCormack-Dickstein Committee did at least acknowledge the existence of the conspiracy, which ended up never getting past the initial planning stages.Though many of the people who had allegedly backed the Business Plot also maintained financial ties with Nazi Germany up through America’s entry into World War II. In 1934, the Business Plot was publicly revealed by retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler testifying to the McCormack-Dickstein Congressional Committee. In his testimony, Butler claimed that a group of men had approached him as part of a plot to overthrow Roosevelt in a military coup. One of the alleged plotters, Gerald MacGuire, vehemently denied any such plot. In their final report, the Congressional committee supported Butler’s allegations of the existence of the plot, but no prosecutions or further investigations followed, and the matter was mostly forgotten.

On July 17, 1932, thousands of World War I veterans converged on Washington, D.C., set up tent camps, and demanded immediate payment of bonuses due them according to the Adjusted Service Certificate Law of 1924. This “Bonus Army” was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant. The Army was encouraged by an appearance from retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, who had considerable influence over the veterans, being one of the most popular military figures of the time. A few days after Butler’s arrival, President Herbert Hoover ordered the marchers removed, and their camps were destroyed by US Army cavalry troops under the command of General Douglas MacArthur.

Butler, although a self-described Republican, responded by supporting Roosevelt in that year’s election. In a 1995 History Today article Clayton Cramer argued that the devastation of the Great Depression had caused many Americans to question the foundations of liberal democracy. “Many traditionalists, here and in Europe, toyed with the ideas of Fascism and National Socialism; many liberals dallied with Socialism and Communism.” Cramer argues that this explains why some American business leaders viewed fascism as a viable system to both preserve their interests and end the economic woes of the Depression.

17.July 20, 1944 Conspiracy to Assassinate Hitler:Among another 20 some odd attempts, this one was one of the largest conspiracies involving hundreds of loyalists in the highest echelons of Hitler’s inner circle.Near the end of WWII, things were rapidly going south for Germany and the time seemed ripe for guilt-ridden Nazi officers to assassinate Hitler and overthrow his government. Colonel Henning von Tresckow recruited Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg to join the conspiracy in 1944.The plot to take out Hitler and then all of his loyal officers was called Operation Valkyrie.

The plan was to use the Continuity of Government Proceedings during an assassination on Hitler’s life to take over full control of the government in Germany.The assassination would be blamed on the Nazi SS and therefore allow Stauffenberg to take full control of all aspects of the government.It almost worked.In July 1944, Stauffenberg was promoted so that he could now start attending military strategy meetings with Hitler himself. On more than one occasion Stauffenberg planned to kill Hitler at such a meeting with a briefcase bomb, but he always held off because he also wanted to take out Hitler’s two right-hand men, Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler. On July 20, he went for it anyway and exploded a bomb inside Hitler’s conference room with a remote detonator. Hitler survived only minor injuries.

18.Operation Ajax: For years, Britain had a spiffy trade deal with Iran regarding their prodigious oil fields. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was basically a giant money machine for the Anglo half, while the Iranian half got shafted. That all changed in 1951 when Iran nationalized the AIOC and the Iranian parliament elected Mohammed Mossadegh as Prime Minister. Mossadegh was relatively secular, something that pissed of Iranian clerics, but he was also very nationalistic.He was a democratically elected, pro American figure but the West saw his nationalizing of the oil fields a communist move(something Mossadegh thought was the right of the people to profit and pay for services in the country with).Those oil fields were under the control of British Petroleum, but unfortunately Mossadegh overruled this long standing business control.The United States sent Kermit Roosevelt, FDR’s nephew and CIA coordinator in to figure out the mess.

The best he could come up with was to confront Mossadegh and have him overthrown and this was accomplished by bringing in what the agency refers to as “jackals.”The United States backed the return of the Shah of Iran, one of the most brutal dictators the country had ever seen and intentionally overthrew years before with the democratic leader, Mossadegh.Until 1979, that is, when a pissed off Iranian populace finally revolted and replaced the monarchy with an anti-West Islamic Republic.The result was a violently anti-American revolution lead by the Ayatollah Khomeini which overthrew the Shah and took hostage US Embassy workers, many of whom were involved in the plot with Kermit Roosevelt that installed the Shah.The planning for the Coup took place largely in that embassy, but Americans were told this was due to the rise of radical Islam and rise of democracy hating Muslims, which of course was far from the truth.

19.Operation Snow White:Some time during the 1970s, the Church of Scientology decided that they’d had enough.Apparently, the Church of Scientology managed to perform the largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Ever.5,000 of Scientology’s crack commandos wiretapped and burglarized various agencies. They stole hundreds of documents, mainly from the IRS. No critic was spared, and in the end, 136 organizations, agencies and foreign embassies were infiltrated.

Grand Jury Charges, Introduction, “United States of America v. Mary Sue Hubbard”,United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 1979.

As early as 1960, L. Ron Hubbard had proposed that Scientologists should infiltrate government departments by taking secretarial, bodyguard or other jobs.  In the early 1970s, the Church of Scientology was increasingly scrutinized by US federal agencies, having already been raided by the Food and Drug Administration in 1963. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claimed it owed millions of dollars in taxes and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sent agents into the organization.  The Church’s response involved a publicity campaign, extensive litigation against the IRS and a program of infiltration of agency offices.

The specific branch of Scientology responsible for Operation Snow White was the Guardian’s Office. Created in 1966 by L. Ron Hubbard himself, the Guardian’s Office’s purpose was to protect the interests of Scientology.  At the time of Operation Snow White, the Guardian’s Office had worldwide headquarters (Guardian’s Office WW) located at Saint Hill Manor in England. Headquarters in the United States (Guardian’s Office US) were in Los Angeles, California. A smaller office also existed in Washington, D.C. (Guardian’s Office DC) and other cities throughout the United States. Each of the Guardian Offices had five bureaus including the Information Bureau which oversaw the infiltration of the government. L. Ron Hubbard oversaw the Guardian’s Office, though it was Mary Sue Hubbard, his wife, who held the title Commodore Staff Guardian.

Several years later, in 1973, the Guardian’s Office began a massive infiltration of governments around the world, though the primary target of the operation was the United States. Worried about Scientology’s long term reputation, the Guardian’s Office decided to infiltrate Interpol in order to obtain documents relating to Scientology, as well as those connecting L. Ron Hubbard to criminal activity. This duty was handed by Jane Kember to Henning Heldt and his staff.

Around this time L. Ron Hubbard himself wrote Guardian Order 732, which called for the removal and correction of “erroneous” Scientology files. It is here that Operation Snow White has its origins. Though the order called for this to be achieved by legal means, this would quickly change.   Hubbard himself would later be named by federal prosecutors as an “unindicted co-conspirator” for his part in the operation. Though extensive records of his involvement exist, many Scientologists claim his directives were misinterpreted by his followers.

Operation Snow White would be further refined by Guardian Order 1361. Addressed from Jane Kember to Heldt, Duke Snider, and Richard Weigand, GO 1361 called for, amongst other things, an infiltration of the Los Angeles and London offices of the IRS, and the Department of Justice.

While the order was specific to the IRS, the Guardian’s Office was soon recruiting their own field agents to infiltrate other governmental offices, including the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the U.S. Coast Guard intelligence service, and the National Institute of Mental Health, among others, as well as the American Medical Association.  The program called for rewards to be given for successful missions carried out by Scientologists.

Other planned elements of the operation included petitioning governments and the United Nations to charge government critics of Scientology with genocide, on the theory that official criticism of the group constituted “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction”.  One of the sentencing memoranda in the case also noted that, contrary to what the defendants claimed, the programs planned by the Guardian’s Office were not restricted to trying to remove “false reports” but included plans to plant false information—for instance, planting false records about “a cat with a pedigree name” into US security agency computers so that later “the creature holds a press conference and photographic story results.” The purpose of this plan was “to hold up the American security to ridicule, as outlined in the GO by LRH.”

The start of 1974 saw a Michael Meisner appointed Assistant Guardian for Information in the District of Columbia (AG I DC). Meisner’s responsibilities now included the implementation of all Information Bureau orders, programs, and projects within the DC area. Meisner’s supervisor at this time was Duke Snider, the Assistant Guardian for DC, or AG DC. This was the highest position in Washington’s GO office.

In July 1974 Meisner was ordered by Duke Snider to implement the previously written plan to obtain Interpol documents, which were then located in the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Meisner had more to do than just this, though, as by August he was also taking directions from a Cindy Raymond, the GO’s Collections Officer for the US, who ordered Meisner to assist her in finding a loyal Scientologist agent to gain employment at the IRS headquarters in Washington DC. This employee was to steal all documents dealing with Scientology, especially those involving current litigation by Scientology against the government. Meisner discussed this with Raymond for a period of a month before interviewing various Scientologists with no luck. A month after the order had been given, Raymond informed Meisner that she had selected Gerald Wolfe.

20.Operation Gladio:Gladio is a code name denoting the clandestine NATO “stay-behind” operation in Italy after World War II, intended to continue anti-communist resistance in the event of a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe. Although Gladio specifically refers to the Italian branch of the NATO stay-behind organizations, “Operation Gladio” is used as an informal name for all stay-behind organizations, sometimes called “Super NATO”.

The role of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in sponsoring Gladio and the extent of its activities during the Cold War era, and its relationship to right-wing terrorist attacks perpetrated in Italy during the Years of Lead and other similar clandestine operations is the subject of ongoing debate and investigation. Italy, Switzerland and Belgium have had parliamentary inquiries into the matter.What can we prove about that role?Thousands of documents, depositions and testimony as well as recorded conversations and admission by the highest levels of government in Italy.That’s about as credible as it gets, regardless of the CIA’s adamant denial it ever happened. What took place?The shooting of innocent civilians, terrorism and assassinations all blamed on leftist communists were actually apart of well coordinated, “black operations.”Black operations are typically involving activities that are highly clandestine and, often, outside of standard military protocol.

“The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.”Black ops missions often fit into the deniable category, a situation in which there is no claim of responsibility for the action, and/or a false flag operation is used to give the appearance that another actor was responsible, or – most often – black operations involve extensive arrangements so as to be able to hide the fact that the black operation ever occurred. Black military operations, or paramilitary operations, can be used by various secret services to achieve or attempt to achieve an unusually sensitive goal. The methods used in black operations are also used in unconventional warfare. Depending on the precise situation in a given case, and the level of authoritarianism of the national government or other responsible party, some tasks will be conducted as black operations, while there are usually other activities that can be admitted openly.

Black operations may include such things as assassination, sabotage, extortion, spying on allied countries or one’s own citizens, kidnapping, supporting resistance movements, torture, use of fraud to obtain funds, use of child soldiers, human experimentation, trafficking in contraband items, etc.Since 9/11, many black operations and long time unethical standings have been approved for legality in the war on terror.In other words, since September 11^th, 2001, it is no a longer conspiracy for any of this to occur, a simple decision by a top level military or CIA official is enough, without oversight or even one thread of admission by the Government or Private conspirators.Much of the Black operations today are performed by private contract companies like Blackwater (now Xe).

This is a documentary banned in teh United States that was allowed to air on BBC. It was an investigation into Operation Gladio:

21. The Church Committee: The Church Committee is the common term for the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a U.S. Senate committee chaired by Senator Frank Church in 1975. A precursor to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, this committee investigated intelligence-gathering by the CIA and FBI for illegality after certain activities had been revealed by the Watergate affair.  The Committee uncovered, among many other things, that the CIA had violated its charter to perform only gathering of intelligence, through, for example, the assassinations of Allende in Chile and Mossadegh in Iran and assassinations of Central and South American leaders and revolutionaries, and assassinations in Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia.  The list was tremendous.  The committee even declassified a “Heart Attack Gun” the Agency had made for use in killing someone without detection.  Cancer, car accidents, skiing accidents, suicide, boating accidents, heart attacks, and just plain shootings were common assassination methods.  The committee’s hearings, although recorded in full in congressional record, the mainstream media, and official policies, are still largely not taught in American schools on recent history.  Most of the American public has not even heard of these revelations, let alone understood that their veracity has been confirmed.  It is still common for people to refer to any of these assassinations as a joke or a baseless conspiracy hypothesis.

Watch the one-minute video below for the description of a former CIA secretary and Congressional testimony on this secret assassination weapon which caused heart attacks.

22.The New World Order:This popular conspiracy theory claims that a small group of international elites controls and manipulates governments, industry and media organisations worldwide. The primary tool they use to dominate nations is the system of central banking. They are said to have funded and in some cases caused most of the major wars of the last 200 years, primarily through carrying out false flag attacks to manipulate populations into supporting them, and have a grip on the world economy, deliberately causing inflation and depressions at will. The people behind the New World Order are thought to be international bankers, in particular the owners of the private banks in the Federal Reserve System, Bank of England and other central banks, and members of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group.Now, although this conspiracy theory was ridiculed for years, it turns out that the Bilderberg does meet and requests no media coverage.They receive no media coverage.The world’s elite meet every year and it goes largely unreported, for what?

Discussions at the meetings include the economy, world affairs, war and in general, world policy.After the financial collapse, the Bilderberg played a key role in proposing that the world prepare for a new world order and have a standard world currency.This was propsed shortly after by almost all attendees of the Bilderberg meeting.During the 20th century, many statesmen, such as Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill, used the term “new world order” to refer to a new period of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and the balance of power after World War I and World War II.

They all saw these periods as opportunities to implement idealistic or liberal proposals for global governance only in the sense of new collective efforts to identify, understand, or address worldwide problems that go beyond the capacity of individual nation-states to solve. These proposals led to the creation of international organizations, such as the United Nations and N.A.T.O., and international regimes, such as the Bretton Woods system and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which were calculated both to maintain a balance of power as well as regularize cooperation between nations, in order to achieve a peaceful phase of capitalism.

In the aftermath of the two World Wars, progressives welcomed these new international organizations and regimes but argued they suffered from a democratic deficit and therefore were inadequate to not only prevent another global war but also foster global justice. American banker David Rockefeller joined the Council on Foreign Relations as its youngest-ever director in 1949 and subsequently became chairman of the board from 1970 to 1985; today he serves as honorary chairman. In 2002, Rockefeller authored his autobiography Memoirs wherein, on page 405, he wrote:

“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents … to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

Thus, activists around the globe formed a world federalist movement bent on creating a “real” new world order. A number of Fabian socialist intellectuals, such as British writer H. G. Wells in the 1940s, appropriated and redefined the term “new world order” as a synonym for the establishment of a full-fledged social democratic world government.In the 1960s, a great deal of right-wing conspiracist attention, by groups like the John Birch Society and the Liberty Lobby, focused on the United Nations as the vehicle for creating the “One World Government”, and contributed to a conservative movement for United States withdrawal from the U.N.. American writer Mary M. Davison, in her 1966 booklet The Profound Revolution, traced the alleged New World Order conspiracy to the creation of the U.S. Federal Reserve System in 1913 by international bankers, who she claimed later formed the Council on Foreign Relations in 1921 as the shadow government. At the time the booklet was published, “international bankers” would have been interpreted by many readers as a reference to a postulated “international banking conspiracy” masterminded by the Rothschilds and Rockefellers.American televangelist Pat Robertson with his 1991 best-selling book The New World Order became the most prominent Christian popularizer of conspiracy theories about recent American history as a theater in which Wall Street, the Federal Reserve System, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group, and Trilateral Commission control the flow of events from behind the scenes, nudging us constantly and covertly in the direction of world government for the Antichrist.

After the turn of the century, specifically during the financial crisis of 2007–2009, many politicians and pundits, such as Gordon Brown, Henry Kissinger, and Barack Obama, used the term “new world order” in their advocacy for a Keynesian reform of the global financial system and their calls for a “New Bretton Woods”, which takes into account emerging markets such as China and India. These declarations had the unintended consequence of providing fresh fodder for New World Order conspiracism, and culminated in former Clinton administration adviser Dick Morris and conservative talk show host Sean Hannity arguing on one of his Fox News Channel programs that “conspiracy theorists were right”.

In 2009, American film directors Luke Meyer and Andrew Neel released New World Order, a critically-acclaimed documentary film which explores the world of conspiracy theorists, such as American radio host Alex Jones, who are committed to exposing and vigorously opposing what they perceive to be an emerging New World Order.

May 24, 1992 Report on New World Order:

23.Kennedy Assassination – the 2nd Investigation by Congress Few People Know About, United StatesHouse of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA): The HSCA was established in 1976 to investigate the John F. Kennedy assassination and the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination. The Committee investigated until 1978, and in 1979 issued its final report, concluding that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated by a conspiracy involving the mob, and potentially the CIA.The House Select Committee on Assassinations undertook reinvestigations of the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1979, a single Report and twelve volumes of appendices on each assassination were published by the Congress. In the JFK case, the HSCA found that there was a “probable conspiracy,” though it was unable to determine the nature of that conspiracy or its other participants (besides Oswald).

This finding was based in part on acoustics evidence from a tape purported to record the shots, but was also based on other evidence including an investigation of Ruby’s Mafia connections and potential CIA and/or FBI connections to Oswald. To this day, many conspiracy deniers are unaware that the Congressional investigation into JFK’s assassination concluded beyond any shadow of a doubt that it was a conspiracy.What made them come to this conclusion?

Aside from reading the report, many witnesses (some of whom were CIA agents and station chiefs in Dallas that morning) were killed the night before testifying.For example, George de Mohrenschildt was a petroleum geologist who befriended Lee Harvey Oswald during the months preceding the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.He also worked for the CIA.He also blew his brains out the night before he was to testify to the committee.The committee also uncovered, among many things, that Oswald left the marines where he learned how to speak fluent Russian (at the height of the cold war).He was given money by the State Department to travel to Russia where he stopped off in Japan at a top secret US Military facility.The Warren Commission even mentioned this part.What most people do not know is that he probably was working in the Cold War infiltrating the Russians as either a “dangle,” “double agent,” or “defector” of some kind.

What is interesting is that upon his return he got more money from the State Department to buy a house and work with an ex FBI Chief and CIA officials in training anti-Castro Cubans for an invasion.In Louisiana, where he was working, the CIA was involved in Operation Mongoose, Where Oswald worked under CIA Agent David Ferrie, who killed himself before testifying in a trial on the Assassination as well.Operation Mongoose worked closely with Southern Mafia figures largely because the casinos in Cuba, which were shut down after Fidel obtained control over the country, were epicenters for control on the island.

The CIA even hired the Mafia to assassinate Fidel on many occasions, 3 attempts which failed are common knowledge.What is funny is that figures who worked very close with Oswald either ended up dead (over 100 of them connected to the assassination died within a few years of unusual circumstances) or they ended up in other conspiracies.

For instance, E Howard Hunt (CIA Agent) confessed to being involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy on his deathbed.E Howard Hunt was one of the Watergate Burglars.Barry Seal, who worked with Oswald and Ferrie ended up being one of the largest cocaine smugglers in the United States during Iran Contra, as a key player for the agency and informant for the DEA.There is so much more to get into, but there just isn’t enough time. Oswald’s tax returns are still classified top secret to this day. Why? Perhaps he was still getting $$ from the United States, which places him on the payroll. That money trail leads to figures, many of whom were murdered, that would have blown the story wide open. For 14 years, most didn’t know this. The HSCA investigaitons by congress went against the findings of the Warren Commission and both reports are from the same source, Congressional Committees. Which is true? Why do we only teach one to our children in school?

December 30, 1978 Report on HSCA Findings:

24.1919 World Series Conspiracy:The 1919 World Series (often referred to as the Black Sox Scandal) resulted in the most famous scandal in baseball history. Eight players from the Chicago White Sox (nicknamed the Black Sox) were accused of throwing the series against the Cincinnati Reds.Details of the scandal remain controversial, and the extent to which each player was involved varied. It was, however, front-page news across the country when the story was uncovered late in the 1920 season, and despite being acquitted of criminal charges (throwing baseball games was technically not a crime), the eight players were banned from organized baseball (i.e. the leagues subject to the National Agreement) for life.There are hundreds of other conspiracies involving throwing games, sporting matches and large scale entertainment events.It is common knowledge for many, this list would have to go into the thousands if we included all of them.

25.Karen Silkwood:Karen was an American labor union activist and chemical technician at the Kerr-McGee plant near Crescent, Oklahoma, United States. Silkwood’s job was making plutonium pellets for nuclear reactor fuel rods.After being hired at Kerr-McGee, Silkwood joined the Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers Union local and took part in a strike at the plant. After the strike ended, she was elected to the union’s bargaining committee and assigned to investigate health and safety issues. She discovered what she believed to be numerous violations of health regulations, including exposure of workers to contamination, faulty respiratory equipment and improper storage of samples. She also believed the lack of sufficient shower facilities could increase the risk of employee contamination.

In the summer of 1974, Silkwood testified to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) about these issues, alleging that safety standards had slipped because of a production speedup which resulted in employees being given tasks for which they were poorly trained. She also alleged that Kerr-McGee employees handled the fuel rods improperly and that the company falsified inspection records.On November 5, 1974, Silkwood performed a routine self-check and found almost 400 times the legal limit for plutonium contamination. She was decontaminated at the plant and sent home with a testing kit to collect urine and feces for further analysis. Oddly, though there was plutonium on the exterior surfaces (the ones she touched) of the gloves she had been using, the gloves did not have any holes.

This suggests the contamination did not come from inside the glove box, but from some other source, in other words, someone was trying to poison her.The next morning, as she headed to a union negotiation meeting, she again tested positive for plutonium. This was surprising because she had only performed paperwork duties that morning. She was given a more intense decontamination. The following day, November 7, 1974, as she entered the plant, she was found to be dangerously contaminated — even expelling contaminated air from her lungs. A health physics team accompanied her back to her home and found plutonium traces on several surfaces — especially in the bathroom and the refrigerator.

The house was later stripped and decontaminated. Silkwood, her partner and housemate were sent to Los Alamos National Laboratory for in-depth testing to determine the extent of the contamination in their bodies.Later that evening, Silkwood’s body was found in her car, which had run off the road and struck a culvert. The car contained no documents. She was pronounced dead at the scene from a “classic, one-car sleeping-driver accident”.

26.CIA Drug Smuggling in Arkansas:August 23, 1987, in a rural community just south of Little Rock, police officers murdered two teenage boys because they witnessed a police-protected drug drop.The drop was part of a drug smuggling operation based at a small airport in Mena, Arkansas. The Mena operation was set up in the early 1980’s by the notorious drug smuggler, Barry Seal. Facing prison after a drug conviction in Florida, Seal flew to Washington, D.C., where he put together a deal that allowed him to avoid prison by becoming an informant for the government. As a government informant against drug smugglers, Seal testified he worked for the CIA and the DEA. In one federal court case, he testified that his income from March 1984 to August 1985, was between $700,000 and $800,000. This period was AFTER making his deal with the government.

Seal testified that nearly $600,000 of this came from smuggling drugs while working for — and with the permission of the DEA. In addition to his duties as an informant, Seal was used by CIA operatives to help finance the Nicaraguan Contras. The CIA connection to the Mena operation was undeniable when a cargo plane given to Seal by the CIA was shot down over Nicaragua with a load of weapons. In spite of the evidence, every investigator who has tried to expose the crimes of Mena has been professionally destroyed, and those involved in drug smuggling operations have received continued protection from state and federal authorities.

28.Operation Paperclip: Operation Paperclip was the code name for the 1945 Office of Strategic Services, Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency recruitment of German scientists from Nazi Germany to the U.S. after VE Day.President Truman authorized Operation Paperclip in August 1945; however he expressly ordered that anyone found “to have been a member of the Nazi party and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi militarism” would be excluded.These included Wernher von Braun, Arthur Rudolph and Hubertus Strughold, who were all officially on record as Nazis and listed as a “menace to the security of the Allied Forces.” All were cleared to work in the U.S. after having their backgrounds “bleached” by the military; false employment histories were provided, and their previous Nazi affiliations were expunged from the record. The paperclips that secured newly-minted background details to their personnel files gave the operation its name.

29.The Round Table:British businessman Cecil Rhodes advocated the British Empire reannexing the United States of America and reforming itself into an “Imperial Federation” to bring about a hyperpower and lasting world peace. In his first will, of 1877, written at the age of 23, he expressed his wish to fund a secret society (known as the Society of the Elect) that would advance this goal:“To and for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonization by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labor and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible, and promote the best interests of humanity.”

In his later wills, a more mature Rhodes abandoned the idea and instead concentrated on what became the Rhodes Scholarship, which had British statesman Alfred Milner as one of its trustees. Established in 1902, the original goal of the trust fund was to foster peace among the great powers by creating a sense of fraternity and a shared world view among future British, American, and German leaders by having enabled them to study for free at the University of Oxford.Milner and British official Lionel George Curtis were the architects of the Round Table movement, a network of organizations promoting closer union between Britain and its self-governing colonies.

To this end, Curtis founded the Royal Institute of International Affairs in June 1919 and, with his 1938 book The Commonwealth of God, began advocating for the creation of an imperial federation that eventually reannexes the U.S., which would be presented to Protestant churches as being the work of the Christian God to elicit their support. The Commonwealth of Nations was created in 1949 but it would only be a free association of independent states rather than the powerful imperial federation imagined by Rhodes, Milner and Curtis.The Council on Foreign Relations began in 1917 with a group of New York academics who were asked by President Woodrow Wilson to offer options for the foreign policy of the United States in the interwar period.

Originally envisioned as a British-American group of scholars and diplomats, some of whom belonging to the Round Table movement, it was a subsequent group of 108 New York financiers, manufacturers and international lawyers organized in June 1918 by Nobel Peace Prize recipient and U.S. secretary of state, Elihu Root, that became the Council on Foreign Relations on 29 July 1921. The first of the council’s projects was a quarterly journal launched in September 1922, called Foreign Affairs.Some believe that the Council on Foreign Relations is a front organization for the Round Table as a tool of the “Anglo-American Establishment”, which they believe has been plotting from 1900 on to rule the world.

The research findings of historian Carroll Quigley, author of the 1966 book Tragedy and Hope, are taken by both conspiracy theorists of the American Old Right (Cleon Skousen) and New Left (Carl Oglesby) to substantiate this view, even though he argued that the Establishment is not involved in a plot to implement a one-world government but rather British and American benevolent imperialism driven by the mutual interests of economic elites in the United Kingdom and the United States. Quigley also argued that, although the Round Table still exists today, its position in influencing the policies of world leaders has been much reduced from its heyday during World War I and slowly waned after the end of World War II and the Suez Crisis. Today it is largely a ginger group, designed to consider and gradually influence the policies of the Commonwealth of Nations, but faces strong opposition. Furthermore, in American society after 1965, the problem, according to Quigley, was that no elite was in charge and acting responsibly.

American banker David Rockefeller joined the Council on Foreign Relations as its youngest-ever director in 1949 and subsequently became chairman of the board from 1970 to 1985; today he serves as honorary chairman. In 2002, Rockefeller authored his autobiography Memoirs wherein, on page 405, he wrote: “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents … to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”Barkun argues that this statement is partly facetious (the claim of “conspiracy” or “treason”) and partly serious – the desire to encourage trilateral cooperation among the U.S., Europe, and Japan, for example – an ideal that used to be a hallmark of the internationalist wing of the Republican Party when there was an internationalist wing.

However, the statement is taken at face value and widely cited by conspiracy theorists as proof that the Council on Foreign Relations (itself alleged to be a front for an “international banking cabal”, as well as, it is claimed, the sponsor of many “globalist” think tanks such as the Trilateral Commission) uses its role as the brain trust of American presidents, senators and representatives to manipulate them into supporting a New World Order.

Conspiracy theorists fear that the international bankers of financial capitalism are planning to eventually subvert the independence of the U.S. by subordinating national sovereignty to a strengthened Bank for International Settlements with the intent to “create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole”.In a 13 November 2007 interview with Canadian journalist Benjamin Fulford, Rockefeller countered:

“I don’t think that I really feel that we need a world government. We need governments of the world that work together and collaborate. But, I can’t imagine that there would be any likelihood or even that it would be desirable to have a single government elected by the people of the world … There have been people, ever since I’ve had any kind of position in the world, who have accused me of being ruler of the world. I have to say that I think for the large part, I would have to decide to describe them as crackpots. It makes no sense whatsoever, and isn’t true, and won’t be true, and to raise it as a serious issue seems to me to be irresponsible.”

Some American social critics, such as Laurence H. Shoup, argue that the Council on Foreign Relations is an “imperial brain trust”, which has, for decades, played a central behind-the-scenes role in shaping U.S. foreign policy choices for the post-WWII international order and the Cold War, by determining what options show up on the agenda and what options do not even make it to the table; while others, such as G. William Domhoff, argue that it is in fact a mere policy discussion forum, which provides the business input to U.S. foreign policy planning. The latter argue that it has nearly 3,000 members, far too many for secret plans to be kept within the group; all the council does is sponsor discussion groups, debates and speakers; and as far as being secretive, it issues annual reports and allows access to its historical archives.

30.The Illuminati:The Order of the Illuminati was an Enlightenment-age secret society founded on May 1^st, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria), by Adam Weishaupt, who was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. The movement consisted of freethinkers, secularists, liberals, republicans and pro-feminists, recruited in the Masonic Lodges of Germany, who sought to promote perfectionism through mystery schools. As a result, in 1785, the order was infiltrated, broken and suppressed by the government agents of Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, in his campaign to neutralize the threat of secret societies ever becoming hotbeds of conspiracies to overthrow the monarchy and state religion.In the late 18th century, reactionary conspiracy theorists, such as Scottish physicist John Robison and French Jesuit priest Augustin Barruel, began speculating that the Illuminati survived their suppression and became the masterminds behind the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror.

The Illuminati were accused of being enlightened absolutists who were attempting to secretly orchestrate a world revolution in order to globalize the most radical ideals of the Enlightenment: anti-clericalism, anti-monarchism, and anti-patriarchalism. During the 19th century, fear of an Illuminati conspiracy was a real concern of European ruling classes, and their oppressive reactions to this unfounded fear provoked in 1848 the very revolutions they sought to prevent.Although many say that the Illuminati was disbanded and destroyedso long ago, it is well known that the Rothschild dynasty following the family’s involvement in the secret order in Bavaria received much attention for its major takeover of Europe’s central banks.The Rothschild dynasty owns roughly half of the world’s wealth and evidence suggests it has funded both sides of major wars, including the United States Civil War.

31.The Trilateral Commission:The Trilateral Commission is a private organization, established to foster closer cooperation among the United States, Europe and Japan. It was founded in July 1973 at the initiative of David Rockefeller, who was Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations at that time. The Trilateral Commission is widely seen as a counterpart to the Council on Foreign Relations.In July 1972, Rockefeller called his first meeting, which was held at Rockefeller’s Pocantico compound in New York’s Hudson Valley. It was attended by about 250 individuals who were carefully selected and screened by Rockefeller and represented the very elite of finance and industry.Its first executive committee meeting was held in Tokyo in October 1973. The Trilateral Commission was officially initiated, holding biannual meetings.

A Trilateral Commission Task Force Report, presented at the 1975 meeting in Kyoto, Japan, called An Outline for Remaking World Trade and Finance, said: “Close Trilateral cooperation in keeping the peace, in managing the world economy, and in fostering economic development and in alleviating world poverty, will improve the chances of a smooth and peaceful evolution of the global system.” Another Commission document read:”The overriding goal is to make the world safe for interdependence by protecting the benefits which it provides for each country against external and internal threats which will constantly emerge from those willing to pay a price for more national autonomy. This may sometimes require slowing the pace at which interdependence proceeds, and checking some aspects of it. More frequently however, it will call for checking the intrusion of national government into the international exchange of both economic and non-economic goods.”

32.Big Brother or the Shadow Government:It is also called the “Deep State” by Peter Dale Scott, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. A shadow government is a “government-in-waiting” that remains in waiting with the intention of taking control of a government in response to some event.It turned out this was true on 9/11, when it was told to us by our mainstream media.For years, this was ridiculed as a silly, crazy conspiracy theory and, like the others listed here, turned out to be 100% true.It is also called the Continuity of Government.The Continuity of Government (COG) is the principle of establishing defined procedures that allow a government to continue its essential operations in case of nuclear war or other catastrophic event.Since the end of the cold war, the policies and procedures for the COG have been altered according to realistic threats of that time.These include but are not limited to a possible coup or overthrow by right wing terrorist groups, a terrorist attack in general, an assassination, and so on.Believe it or not the COG has been in effect since 2001.After 9/11, it went into action.Now here is the kicker, many of the figures in Iran Contra, the Watergate Scandal, the alleged conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy, and many others listed here are indeed members of the COG.This is its own conspiracy as well.

March 1, 2002 News Clip on Secret Government:

The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World is a book written by Air Force Col. L fletcher Prouty, published in 1973.From 1955 to 1963 Prouty was the “Focal Point Officer” for contacts between the CIA and the Pentagon on matters relating to military support for “black operations” but he was not assigned to the CIA and was not bound by any oath of secrecy. (From the first page of the 1974 Printing) It was one of the first tell-all books about the inner workings of the CIA and was an important influence on the Oliver Stone movie JFK. But the main thrust of the book is how the CIA started as a think tank to analyze intelligence gathered from military sources but has grown to the monster it has become. The CIA had no authority to run their own agents or to carry out covert operations but they quickly did both and much more.

This book tells about things they actually did and a lot about how the operate.In Prouty’s own words, from the 1997 edition of The Secret Team: This is the fundamental game of the Secret Team. They have this power because they control secrecy and secret intelligence and because they have the ability to take advantage of the most modern communications system in the world, of global transportation systems, of quantities of weapons of all kinds, and when needed, the full support of a world-wide U.S. military supporting base structure. They can use the finest intelligence system in the world, and most importantly, they have been able to operate under the canopy of an assumed, ever-present enemy called “Communism.” It will be interesting to see what “enemy” develops in the years ahead. It appears that “UFO’s and Aliens” are being primed to fulfill that role for the future. To top all of this, there is the fact that the CIA, itself, has assumed the right to generate and direct secret operations. “He is not the first to allege that UFOs and Aliens are going to be used as a threat against the world to globalize the planet under One government.

March 1, 2002 report on Secret Government:

The Report From Iron Mountain is a book, published in 1967 (during the Johnson Administration) by Dial Press, that states that it is the report of a government panel.According to the report, a 15-member panel, called the Special Study Group, was set up in 1963 to examine what problems would occur if the U.S. entered a state of lasting peace. They met at an underground nuclear bunker called Iron Mountain (as well as other, worldwide locations) and worked over the next two years. Iron Mountain is where the government has stored the flight 93 evidence from 9/11.A member of the panel, one “John Doe”, a professor at a college in the Midwest, decided to release the report to the public.

The heavily footnoted report concluded that peace was not in the interest of a stable society, that even if lasting peace “could be achieved, it would almost certainly not be in the best interests of society to achieve it.” War was a part of the economy. Therefore, it was necessary to conceive a state of war for a stable economy. The government, the group theorized, would not exist without war, and nation states existed in order to wage war. War also served a vital function of diverting collective aggression. They recommended that bodies be created to emulate the economic functions of war. They also recommended “blood games” and that the government create alternative foes that would scare the people with reports of alien life-forms and out of control pollution.

Another proposal was the reinstitution of slavery.U.S. News and World Report claimed in its November 20, 1967 issue to have confirmation of the reality of the report from an unnamed government official, who added that when President Johnson read the report, he ‘hit the roof’ and ordered it to be suppressed for all time. Additionally, sources were said to have revealed that orders were sent to U.S. embassies, instructing them to emphasize that the book had no relation to U.S. Government policy.Project Blue Beam is also a common conspiracy theory that alleges that a faked alien landing would be used as a means of scaring the public into whatever global system is suggested. Some researchers suggest the Report from Iron Mountain might be fabricated, others swear it is real.

Bill Moyers, the American journalist and public commentator, has served as White House Press Secretary in the United States President Lyndon B. Johnson Administration from 1965 to 1967. He worked as a news commentator on television for ten years. Moyers has had an extensive involvement with public television, producing documentaries and news journal programs. He has won numerous awards and honorary degrees. He has become well known as a trenchant critic of the U.S. media. Since 1990, Moyers has been President of the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy. He is considered by many to be a very credible outlet for the truth. He released a documetnary titled,The Secret Government, which exposed the inner workings of a secret government much more vast that most people would ever imagine. Though originally broadcast in 1987, it is even more relevant today. Interviews with respected top military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history and secret objectives of powerful groups in the hidden shadows of our government.

Here is that documentary:

33.The Federal Reserve Bank:The fundamental promise of a central bank like the Federal Reserve is economic stability. The theory is that manipulating the value of the currency allows financial booms to go higher, and crashes to be more mild. If growth becomes speculative and unsustainable, the central bank can make the price of money go up and force some deleveraging of risky investments – again, promising to make the crashes more mild.The period leading up to the American revolution was characterized by increasingly authoritarian legislation from England. Acts passed in 1764 had a particularly harsh effect on the previously robust colonial economy. The Sugar Act was in effect a tax cut on easily smuggled molasses, and a new tax on commodities that England more directly controlled trade over. The navy would be used in increased capacity to enforce trade laws and collect duties.Perhaps even more significant than the militarization and expansion of taxes was the Currency Act passed later in the year 1764.

“The colonies suffered a constant shortage of currency with which to conduct trade. There were no gold or silver mines and currency could only be obtained through trade as regulated by Great Britain. Many of the colonies felt no alternative to printing their own paper money in the form of Bills of Credit.” The result was a true free market of currency – each bank competed, exchange rates fluctuated wildly, and merchants were hesitant to accept these notes as payment. Of course, they didn’t have 24-hour digital Forex markets, but I’ll hold off opinions on the viability of unregulated currency for another time.

England’s response was to seize control of the colonial money supply – forbidding banks, cities, and colony governments from printing their own. This law, passed so soon after the Sugar Act, started to really bring revolutionary tension inside the colonies to a higher level. American bankers had learned early on that debasing a currency through inflation is a helpful way to pay off perpetual trade deficits – but Britain proved that the buyer of the currency would only take the deal for so long…Following the (first) American Revolution, the “First Bank of the United States” was chartered to pay off collective war debts, and effectively distribute the cost of the revolution proportionately throughout all of the states. Although the bank had vocal and harsh skeptics, it only controlled about 20% of the nation’s money supply.

Compared to today’s central bank, it was nothing.Thomas Jefferson argued vocally against the institution of the bank, mostly citing constitutional concerns and the limitations of government found in the 10th amendment. There was one additional quote that hints at the deeper structural flaw of a central bank in a supposedly free capitalist economy.”the existing banks will, without a doubt, enter into arrangements for lending their agency, and the more favorable, as there will be a competition among them for it; whereas the bill delivers us up bound to the national bank, who are free to refuse all arrangement, but on their own terms, and the public not free, on such refusal, to employ any other bank” –Thomas Jefferson.Basically, the existing banks will fight over gaining favor with the central bank – rather than improving their performance relative to a free market.

The profit margins associated with collusion would obviously outweigh the potential profits gained from legitimate business.The Second Bank of the United States was passed five years after the first bank’s charter expired. An early enemy of central banking, President James Madison, was looking for a way to stabilize the currency in 1816. This bank was also quite temporary – it would only stay in operation until 1833 when President Andrew Jackson would end federal deposits at the institution.

The charter expired in 1836 and the private corporation was bankrupt and liquidated by 1841.While the South had been the major opponent of central banking systems, the end of the Civil War allowed for (and also made necessary) the system of national banks that would dominate the next fifty years.The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) says that this post-war period of a unified national currency and system of national banks “worked well.” [3] Taxes on state banks were imposed to encourage people to use the national banks – but liquidity problems persisted as the money supply did not match the economic cycles.Overall, the American economy continued to grow faster than Europe, but the period did not bring economic stability by any stretch of the imagination. Several panics and runs on the bank – and it became a fact of life under this system of competing nationalized banks. In 1873, 1893, 1901, and 1907 significant panics caused a series of bank failures.

The new system wasn’t stable at all, in fact, many suspected it was wraught with fraud and manipulation.The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis is not shy about attributing the causes of the Panic of 1907 to financial manipulation from the existing banking establishment. “If Knickerbocker Trust would falter, then Congress and the public would lose faith in all trust companies and banks would stand to gain, the bankers reasoned.”In timing with natural economic cycles, major banks including J.P. Morgan and Chase launched an all-out assault on Heinze’s Knickerbocker Trust. Financial institutions on the inside started silently selling off assets in the competitor, and headlines about a few bad loans started making top spots in the newspapers.

The run on Knickerbocker turned into a general panic – and the Federal Government would come to the rescue of its privately owned “National Banks.”During the Panic of 1907, “Depositors ‘run’ on the Knickerbocker Bank. J.P. Morgan and James Stillman of First National City Bank (Citibank) act as a “central bank,” providing liquidity … [to stop the bank run]President Theodore Roosevelt provides Morgan with $25 million in government funds … to control the panic. Morgan, acting as a one-man central bank, decides which firms will fail and which firms will survive.”How did JP Morgan get so powerful that the government would provide them with funding to increase their power?They had key influence with positions inside the Administrations.

They had senators, congressmen, lobbyists, media moguls all working for them.In 1886, a group of millionaires purchased Jekyll Island and converted it into a winter retreat and hunting ground, the USA’s most exclusive club. By 1900, the club’s roster represented 1/6th of the world’s wealth. Names like Astor, Vanderbilt, Morgan, Pulitzer and Gould filled the club’s register. Non- members, regardless of stature, were not allowed. Dignitaries like Winston Churchill and President McKinley were refused admission.In 1908, the year after a national money panic purportedly created by J. P. Morgan, Congress established, in 1908, a National Monetary Authority. In 1910 another, more secretive, group was formed consisting of the chiefs of major corporations and banks in this country. The group left secretly by rail from Hoboken, New Jersey, and traveled anonymously to the hunting lodge on Jekyll Island.In fact, the Clubhouse/hotel on the island has two conference rooms named for the “Federal Reserve.”The meeting was so secret that none referred to the other by his last name. Why the need for secrecy?

Frank Vanderlip wrote later in the Saturday Evening Post, “…it would have been fatal to Senator Aldrich’s plan to have it known that he was calling on anybody from Wall Street to help him in preparing his bill…I do not feel it is any exaggeration to speak of our secret expedition to Jekyll Island as the occasion of the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System.”At Jekyll Island, the true draftsman for the Federal Reserve was Paul Warburg. The plan was simple.

The new central bank could not be called a central bank because America did not want one, so it had to be given a deceptive name. Ostensibly, the bank was to be controlled by Congress, but a majority of its members were to be selected by the private banks that would own its stock.To keep the public from thinking that the Federal Reserve would be controlled from New York, a system of twelve regional banks was designed. Given the concentration of money and credit in New York, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York controlled the system, making the regional concept initially nothing but a ruse.

The board and chairman were to be selected by the President, but in the words of Colonel Edward House, the board would serve such a term as to “put them out of the power of the President.” The power over the creation of money was to be taken from the people and placed in the hands of private bankers who could expand or contract credit as they felt best suited their needs.Why the opposition to a central bank?Americans at the time knew of the destruction to the economy the European central banks had caused to their respective countries and to countries who became their debtors. They saw the large- scale government deficit spending and debt creation that occurred in Europe.But European financial moguls didn’t rest until the New World was within their orbit. In 1902, Paul Warburg, a friend and associate of the Rothschilds and an expert on European central banking, came to this country as a partner in Kuhn, Loeb and Company.

He married the daughter of Solomon Loeb, one of the founders of the firm. The head of Kuhn, Loeb was Jacob Schiff, whose gift of $20 million in gold to the struggling Russian communists in 1917 no doubt saved their revolution.The Fed controls the banking system in the USA, not the Congress nor the people indirectly (as the Constitution dictates). The U.S. central bank strategy is a product of European banking interests.Government interventionists got their wish in 1913 with the Federal Reserve (and income tax amendment). Just in time, too, because the nation needed a new source of unlimited cash to finance both sides of WW1 and eventually our own entry to the war.

After the war, with both sides owing us debt through the federal reserve backed banks, the center of finance moved from London to New York.But did the Federal Reserve reign in the money trusts and interlocking directorates? Not by a long shot. If anything, the Federal Reserve granted new powers to the National Banks by permitting overseas branches and new types of banking services. The greatest gift to the bankers, was a virtually unlimited supply of loans when they experience liquidity problems.

From the early 1920s to 1929, the monetary supply expanded at a rapid pace and the nation experienced wild economic growth. Curiously, however, the number of banks started to decline for the first time in American history.Toward the end of the period, speculation and loose money had propelled asset and equity prices to unreal levels. The stock market crashed, and as the banks struggled with liquidity problems, the Federal Reserve actually cut the money supply. Without a doubt, this is the greatest financial panic and economic collapse in American history – and it never could have happened on this scale without the Fed’s intervention. The number of banks crashed and a few of the old robber barons’ banks managed to swoop in and grab up thousands of competitors for pennies on the dollar.

The Problem / GLOBAL DOMINATION AGENDA

Introduction

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

    -Martin Niemoeller

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

WHAT is the Global Domination Agenda?

The global domination agenda is a plan by powerful private bankers to take over all our primary systems (money, energy, food, media, etc.) and to establish a sole global authority – with themselves in charge. They use the media, central banks, multinational corporations, governments, major foundations, and international agencies such as the IMF and World Bank to implement their strategies. So far they have successfully brought down countries across the globe, including Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Tanzania, Indonesia, Brazil, Poland, Mexico, Bolivia, Thailand, Iceland, the Soviet Union, Japan, Greece and scores of others. They are now attempting to dismantle the U.S. by collapsing the dollar and making sure Americans are in debt they can’t repay.
This pyramid shows the basic structure of control. The financial elite are at the top. They use international and national central banks to control corporations (which they loan to at special rates), manipulate national economies and hence their governments, and get everyone in debt to the bankers.

Regular working people, who produce most of the real wealth on this planet, are at the bottom of the pyramid. As of 2007, the richest 2% of adults owned more than 50% of the global assets[1] and as of 2010, one out of every seven people didn’t have enough to eat.[2]
Material wealth and resources continue to funnel up to the financial elite, while domination and control come down through the international banking structure and the corporations and governments below them. It’s important to note that the strength of the pyramid is in its base. As people wake up and withdraw their support, the corrupt money structure will lose its control.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy: an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot. (dictionary.com)

Until recently, the controllers have been quite successful at insulting the idea that there might actually be conspiracies going on. “Conspiracy theorists… wackos…paranoid nut cases.” It has been made socially unacceptable to challenge big lies that we are told, because someone might make fun of us. But “conspiracy THEORY” has been turning into “conspiracy ANALYSIS” and finally into conspiracy FACT. When President George Bush Sr. got busted for covertly selling arms to the Contras, his administration was convicted of …Conspiracy. When the AMA tried to shut down the emergence of Chiropractic, they were found guilty of…Conspiracy. Here are a few more of countless examples of proven conspiracies:
“33 CONSPIRACIES THAT TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE”
And here are some well-informed voices from 20th century history:

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

– Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913)

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds’ central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups.”

– Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, in Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966).

“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control…. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”

– Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the crash of a Korean Airlines 747.

“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”

– David Rockefeller (2000)

“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

– Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992

“We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.”

– James Warburg, member of Council on Foreign Relations, in his statement to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950

“It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in the process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably will always exist, to get people to love their servitude.”

– Aldous Huxley, 1962 speech at Berkeley

WHO is Implementing the Agenda?

Efforts to conquer and colonize are as old as history, but it was creating the deception of “monopolized central banking” – where a few individuals get to just make up money out of nothing – and “fractional reserve” lending – where bankers get to lend and charge interest on money they don’t actually have – that gave the elite the means by which they could hope to actually rule the world. The first central bank was the Bank of Amsterdam – founded in 1609 – and then in 1694 King William III teamed up with UK aristocracy to launch the private Bank of England.

Elite private bankers – including the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Morgans – and members of such secret societies as the Council on Foreign Relations, The Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and the Royal Institute of Affairs are setting and implementing the current agenda.

*Secret Societies
“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. “

– British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876

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

– Former Congressman John Rarick, 1971

“The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power — political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future.”

– U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in his l964 book: With No Apologies.

Control of currencies is the core of their power methodology. The elite financed Mussolini and Hitler, planned WWI and II, and financed all sides in order to cull the population and consolidate their power. For more than a century, their goal has been to create a single global government. The attempt to create a League of Nations after WWI Was funded by the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. The plan failed, but was revived as the United Nations after WWII on land in New York gifted by the Rockefellers. As wonderful as it’s made out to be, with its diversity and “peacekeepers,” the UN seems to be the front organization for the One World Authority –with NATO as its militant arm and the World Bank as its financial enforcer. All the organizations below as well as the World Health Organization, The World Trade Organization were created by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds or Morgans.

Only a handful of nations – like Iran, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and until recently Iraq – have not succumbed to the elite’s central banking takeover scheme. This seems to play a major unspoken role in determining the New World Order’s imperialist hit-list, the so-called “axis of evil.”

As described in the timeline, the Rothschilds are the oldest, wealthiest and most powerful European Central Banking family. Their rise to financial dominance began with Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt, Germany where he set up a finance house.

His five sons were spread throughout Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s – in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Naples, and Paris – forming a financial dynasty. In June of 1815, Nathan Rothschild’s secret courier network was the first to make it back to London with news that Napoleon’s French troops had been defeated by the British at Waterloo. Rothschild, who, as usual, had funded both sides in the war, cunningly pretended that the French had won and started dumping British “consuls” on the stock exchange. The market plummeted and then Nathan quietly started buying up everything in sight, and by the time the real news of Britain’s success in the battle reached the public in London, the House of Rothschild had bought control of the British economy. By the mid 1800s they dominated the banking industry, funding people such as the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Cecil Rhodes.

The Rothschilds’ influence spread to the U.S. as well. They financed the house of Morgan and sent associate Paul Warburg, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to meet with other private bankers on Jekyll Island to secretly draft the Federal Reserve Act that was passed in 1913. This allowed bankers to create 90% of our money supply and loan it out at interest – a sure way to be highly profitable and influential while also allowing private bankers to run the national economy. Indeed, as Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said, “Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”

The Rothschild’s continue to wield tremendous power and control, though virtually always behind the scenes. Some researchers have estimated their fortune today could exceed $100 trillion. (The Federal Reserve Cartel: Part III by Dean Henderson)

A couple of the many palatial Rothschild estates.

Today, N.M. Rothschild & Sons is their main investment banking operation based out of London. It is one of the top 10 global investment banks for M&A advisory. In 2007, they did $566 billion worth of trades, more than 12% of the market share – and this is just what is known publicly. They have banks set up all over the world, making them shareholders in numerous Central Banks and granting them tremendous decision-making powers.

In 1998, Gaylon Ross Sr, author of Who’s Who of the Global Elite, wrote that he had been tipped by a private source that the combined wealth of the Rothschild family was then approximately $100 Trillion and that of the Rockefellers was $11 Trillion.

The Rockefellers are particularly dominant in America. They got started in the 19th century with funding from JP Morgan, who was the American front man for the Rothschilds. John D. Rockefeller was funded to help develop and control oil resources. As oil increased in demand, John D. Rockefeller’s wealth grew and he became the first American billionaire. With this money came a tremendous amount of power and control, not only in oil, but all sectors of society. Much of the family wealth has been funneled through “philanthropic” organizations such as the Rockefeller Foundation.

Contributions and funding from the Rockefeller Foundation may look good on the surface, however, the control that comes from it is vast. For example, the current medical model originated with the Rockefeller’s around the turn of the century. In the early 1900’s, John D. Rockefeller set up the Institute for Medical Research that laid the foundation for health research and development.

Then in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation became one of the  largest funders of medical research. They hand-picked scientists and doctors who were considered worthy of funding, with a heavy emphasis on pharmacology. This drug-treatment paradigm was carried over into the universities, many of which are still funded or were initially established by the Rockefeller Foundation. In this way, drug-based medical care has become the norm. It’s a similar story in all other sectors, which you can track in the “Follow the Money” section of the site.

In banking, the Rockefeller’s have had an ownership stake in Chase ever since 1930, when they merged the Rockefeller-owned Equitable Trust Company of New York with Chase National Bank. In the 1970s and 1980s Chase Manhattan was run by David Rockefeller. Then Chase Manhattan merged with J.P. Morgan and Co. in 2000.

“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
– David Rockefeller, Memoirs, 2002

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years… It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
– David Rockefeller at a meeting in June of 1991 of the Bilderberg Group in Baden Baden, Germany.

“Competition is a sin.”
– John D. Rockefeller

The Morgans – J.P. Morgan was the front-man for the Rothschilds around the turn of the century. He has a history of profiting from crises, as detailed in the timeline above. In both banking panics of 1893 and 1907, he intervened creating the illusion of economic stability while consolidating wealth for his company. J.P. Morgan also benefitted from the Great Depression. When “Black Thursday” hit in 1929 he bought up cheap stocks to “keep the economy afloat.” While people endured extreme hardship, J.P. Morgan walked away with significant financial gains.

Today Morgan’s strategy lives on in Chase and CitiGroup. I believe these banking powerhouses were largely responsible for the most recent economic collapse. They were well aware of their destructive behavior but did nothing to stop it. In the end these banks were bailed out by taxpayer debt and gained huge profits while their competitors went under and people lost their homes, jobs, and retirement funds. I am convinced this was no accident – it was an intentional power and money grab that has happened throughout the course of history.

“Fifty men have run America, and that’s a high figure.”
– Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New York Times

“…when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people… will hate the new world order… and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.”
– H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)

“The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which… pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.”
– British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941

“The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.”
– Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952

“Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means (just as they where in Nazi Germany), unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government – a bureaucratic elite.”
– Senator William Jenner, 1954

HOW is the Agenda Implemented?

Citizens wouldn’t simply stand by and let others take control of their lives, unless it was concealed in some way. Part of the shrewdness behind the agenda is that it is disguised so well that people even contribute to their own demise without knowing it. Most of us end up craving more credit and accepting more taxes to bail out those who are robbing us in the first place. We are giving our money to these elite controllers every time we make a deposit in one of their banks. They have convinced us that not only do we need them, but also that what’s good for them is good for us, and nothing could be further from the truth. Catherine Austin Fitts describes this as a “tapeworm economy.”

The global elite also utilize and sometimes manufacture tragic events to further their control. They do this either through a strategy referred to as “Problem-Reaction-Solution,” the “Strategy of Tension” or the “Shock Doctrine,” or False Flag Operations.

Problem-Reaction-Solution goes something like this:

(1) Create or capitalize on a problem.

(2) Incite a fearful reaction.

(3) Implement an already prepared, and previously unacceptable “solution” that further centralizes control.

False Flag Operations

Another deceptive strategy for consolidating power is “False Flag” Operations – named after the old technique of attacking a group using an enemy’s banner instead of ones’ own to misdirect the ensuing counterattack. These manufactured and often tragic events allow the elite to acquire resources, reap profit from wars, and erode our rights. They are disguised to generate a predictable reaction – public fear – to help serve the controlling interests. Some examples include:

World War I – this war was ignited by a fake terror assassination event of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.

The Lusitania – in 1915 was sailed into hostile waters with armaments from the Morgan banking interests hidden in the hold of the passenger ship.[3] The subsequent sinking by German U boats and the loss of thousands of lives was apparently used to awake the anger of the American people to get them into the War.

An intentionally set fire in the German Reichstag building in 1933 enabled the Nazis to set up “emergency laws” as a “crackdown on terrorism” and justify the police state.

World War II – started around a staged attack by the Germans on one of their own radio stations – which they then blamed on the Poles.

There is documented proof that President Franklin Roosevelt knew from decoded Japanese messages, that they were planning to attack Pearl Harbor, but he kept it secret in order to get them to “fire the first shot,” because that would motivate the American population to get into the War in Europe.[4]

Operation Northwoods – in 1962 was a covert CIA operation (now unclassified and fully documented) to paint a plane with Red Cross colors, shoot it down and blame Castro, so the US would have an excuse to invade Cuba. President Kennedy refused to go along with the plan.

Vietnam War – Gulf of Tonkin – Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara acknowledged that the attack of a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, which was the catalyst for the US entry into the Viet Nam War, actually never happened.

9/11 – The evidence is vast and growing of complicity by some individuals within the US Government and financial sector in the attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon. Architects, engineers, physicists, whistle blowers, investigative reporters and filmmakers are all behind a growing 9/11 truth movement (see Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth).

“…the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”
– Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous, he cannot believe it exists.”
– J. Edgar Hoover

Covert De-population

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

Eugenics and de-population programs were initiated by powerful families including the Rockefellers, Carnegies and Harrimans at the beginning of the 20th century. Their work inspired later dictators like Adolph Hitler to cull undesirable portions of the populace.[5]

We have been schooled to focus on Hitler as a unique madman who somehow got control of a whole nation by himself, but as is usually the case, it is well documented that Hitler was himself a puppet figure for the international banking cabal that wanted to overthrow Stalin.[6]

The genocidal agenda of the Nazis was forced underground after the defeat of the Germans and their convictions at the Nuremburg trials, but a similar agenda is re-surfacing all around the world in less obvious forms of aggressive elimination of large numbers of people.[7] In fact, many Nazi rocket scientist and mind control experimenters were brought to America under a covert CIA program called Operation Paperclip.[8]

The anonymously created Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, Georgia, USA, have enshrined the idea that 500 million people is the number that the Earth can sustain.[9]

What methods might the elite be using to involuntarily get rid of people? My research leads me to believe that the vast amount of illness, sterility and death due to the following human created afflictions is no accident:

• Irradiation from nuclear plants, depleted uranium weapons, food scanners, airport scanners, cell towers, “smart” meters etc.
• Fluoride in our water (The Fluoride Deception, Bryson, Christopher andhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3y8uwtxrHo)
• Toxic Chemtrails  (What On Earth Are They Spraying DVD;www.carnicom.com)
• Destructive EM waves (HAARP) in our atmosphere (See Environment Critical Issue section on HAARP)
• man-made weather catastrophes, earthquakes and volcanos and tsunamis (See Environment Critical Issuesection on HAARP)
• Dangerous pharmaceuticals in our bodies and in our waterways
• Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in our foods (Seeds of Destruction, Engdahl, F. William)
• Continual wars of aggression
• Lethal IMF and World Bank “austerity policies” (The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, Palast, Greg)
• Man-made pandemics like the Swine Flu, Lyme Disease (Lab 257. Carroll, Michael C.) and AIDS (DNA: Pirates of the Sacres Spiral, Horowitz, Dr. Leonard)
• Toxic and sterilizing vaccines like the anti-tetanus one laced with B-hCG, which when given in a vaccine, undermines women’s ability to sustain a pregnancy. The whistle has been blown on this type of covert sterilization in Mexico, the Phillipines, Puerto Rico and various countries in Africa. The dissemination of this vaccine was initiated by the Rockefeller founded Population Council and promoted through UNICEF, with funding from organizations like the Gates Foundation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VG4WibFBPs) and Procter & Gamble (http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message760430/pg1).

The tragic irony, to me, is that evidence is strong that populations tend to stabilize when they have access to prosperity and education, not when they are undermined or attacked.

“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” – p62

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

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

“…we are in the process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably will always exist to get people to love their servitude.”

“…there is evidently a whole class of drugs effecting the CNS [central nervous system] which can produce enormous changes in sedation in euphoria in energizing the whole mental process without doing any perceptible harm to the human body, and this presents to me the most extraordinary revolution. In the hands of a dictator these substances in one kind or the other could be used with, first of all, complete harmlessness, and the result would be, you can imagine a euphoric that would make people thoroughly happy even in the most abominable circumstances.draft of their ‘Global Biodiversity Assessment‘ states there must be a reduction of five billion people.”
– Julian Huxley, Berkeley, 1962

“…we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 of its population… In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world benefaction…? We should stop putting ourselves in the position of being our brothers’ keeper and refrain from offering moral and ideological advice. We should cease to talk about vague … unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”
– George Kennan, Top Secret Memo PPS23 to the Secretary of State, 1948

In “The First Global Revolution,” published by The Council of the Club of Rome, an international elitist organization, the authors note that: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention …The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” 16
– The First Global Revolution, Club of Rome, 1991

“Inaction today could mean that more drastic steps, less compatible with individual choice and freedom, will seem necessary tomorrow to slow population growth.”
World Bank 1984 World Development Report

“…whereas death control is extremely easy under modern circumstances, birth control is extremely difficult. The reason is very simple: death control – the control, for example, of infectious diseases – can be accomplished by a handful of experts and quite a small labour force of unskilled persons and requires a very small capital expenditure.”
– Aldous Huxley, 1959

“U.S. policy toward the third world should be one of depopulation”
– Henry Kissinger, 1978

Common Objections to the Notion of Conspiracy

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

Pyramid – “need to know” basis

As portrayed in THRIVE, the key to keeping secret an agenda as massive as what I am describing is a “pyramid” structure, a “need to know” system, where people only understand as much as they need to do accomplish their tasks, but no more. That way only the individuals at the top of each pyramid know the full plan. This is the way it works in the secret societies, the CIA, the banks, the major corporations, the military, the media and on and on. Most people involved in fulfilling the Global Domination Agenda would be horrified if they actually understood what they are inadvertently contributing to. Just such a compartmentalized apparatus was what allowed the US’s Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb in secret despite having 130,000 people working on it.

“The great masses of people will more easily fall prey to a big lie than a small one… Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it…”
– Adolf Hitler

Secret Societies

At the top of the Follow the Money pyramid, above even the Bank of International Settlements are the so-called Secret Societies. They are called such because there is little or no information that comes out revealing what got said, done or decided behind closed doors. No press is allowed. Their members are not allowed to take notes, and are sworn to absolute secrecy – often under penalty of death. If the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, the Masons, the Priory of Scion, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull & Bones, the Illuminati, the Committee of 300, The White Brotherhood, the Black Nobility and so many others are really working for the good of all mankind, wouldn’t it be appropriate to see a live feed on TV or the Internet of their discussions and highest level decision making? (See Jim Marrs’ Rule by Secrecy and The Rise of the Fourth Reich, and The Secret Behind Secret Societies, Jon Rapaport, Secret Societies… And How the Affect Our Lives Today by Sylvia Brown)

So what is being kept so secret? My research has shown me that the main things having to be kept from public view throughout history have to do with corruption of money, power and sex.

The most renowned groups seem to meet to allocate money and influence to consolidate power for their own benefit – ultimately feeding the agenda for themselves to rule the world and to keep the rest of the people at bay. The roster and timing of known meetings shows a consistent pattern of this (Jim Tucker’s Bilderberg Diary) and occasional leaked information confirms it. The attendees are the people at the top of the pyramids of banking, media, military, intelligence, government, education, corporations and organized religion – or their agents. When they come out of their meetings, an experienced eye can begin to see the desired stories, candidates, market moves, coups, wars etc. appearing through the tentacles of the networks they command.

But aren’t the Terrorists really out to get us because of our freedom?

“Terrorism” = blowback

With no actual threatening enemy to justify their vast military appropriations and imperialist wars, the would-be controllers have created the bogey-man of “terrorism” instead. Terrorism is not a person, a group or a nation. It is a tactic. When I have “followed the money” upstream behind so-called acts of terrorism, what I have found, virtually always, is blow-back from violent aggression – victimized peoples trying to protect themselves from the invasion of their sovereign nations, the destruction of their cultures and economies, and the killing of innocent people.

In thinking critically, I believe it is vital to consider what is really going on to motivate people to desperate acts – and I certainly don’t see any evidence it is that they “hate our freedom.” It’s worth pondering if the perpetrators of the greatest terrorizing aren’t actually the “shock and awe” controllers themselves.

The world is too big to rule, too complicated to dominate. And besides, if they were trying, we would know about it.

Global Domination Checklist

In trying to assess whether or not such a shocking and dangerous conspiracy as the “GDA” could actually be true, I forced myself to think like a would-be controller and figure out what I would need to take over in order to have a shot at dominating the lives of everyone, everywhere. This was an immensely unpleasant, but profoundly informative and useful process. I realized they would have to try to take complete control over: money, energy, food and water, health, education, media, justice, science, religion, the arts and even the weather. They would have to sicken us, dumb us down, track our every move, hack our voting, steep us in debt and keep us afraid. Unfortunately, as you can read in the various Sectors of this site, that is exactly what they have done…But not entirely.

Fortunately, as of this writing, the elite have not been able to take over the Internet in the western nations and there are a vast number of brilliant computer whizzes out there who have organized to keep that from happening. They have not completely taken over food or health supplements, though their GMO and Codex Alimentarius efforts are vigorous. Such initiatives as organic growing, homeschooling, indy media, alternative currency, holistic health and the “Occupy” movements are booming.

10 Steps to Fascism

Author Naomi Wolf, in The End of America, has researched and outlined the 10 key indicators of when a country is slipping into fascist control. See if these sound hauntingly familiar:

1) Invoke an External and Internal Threat

2) Establish Secret Prisons

3) Develop a Paramilitary Force

4) Surveil Ordinary Citizens

5) Infiltrate Citizen’s Groups

6) Arbitrarily Detain and release Citizens

7) Target Key Individuals

8) Restrict the Press

9) Cast Criticism as “Espionage” and Dissent as “Treason”

10) Subvert the Rule of Law

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you… you may know that your society is doomed.”
–Ayn Rand, novelist & philosopher, author of Atlas Shrugged

Police State 2.0 Experiment

Author Naomi Klein, in her article China’s All-Seeing Eye, reveals how the Chinese system so admired by David Rockefeller has created a “model city” of the future that gives a chilling vision of where the elite would like to take us. In just 30 years, Shenzen has grown from empty terrain to 21.4 million occupants who are continually subjected to “central planning, merciless repression and constant surveillance.” There are-already over 200,000 cameras in place with 2 million planned. The latest people tracking technologies are a part of “Golden Shield,” a high-tech surveillance and censorship program, and are supplied by the likes of IBM, Honeywell, and GE to create and test a “police state 2.0” on a scale that would still be resisted in America.

If we could just get rid of weapons we could live in a safe world.

Disarmament

As thoroughly committed as I am to non-aggression and even to non-violent self-defense (see Aikido) whenever possible, that does not mean I would stand by and see someone raped or let someone hurt me or another or take their rightfully gained property. America has a history of armed revolt in the face of tyranny. Statistically in America there are about 9 guns for every 10 adults.

Throughout history, when a would be dictator has plans to take over a people, one of the first actions planned is “disarmament.” Always for good sounding reasons of course – such as “for a more peace-loving secure world.” Not only was this true in Germany (1938), Italy and China (1935), but also in Turkey (1911), the Soviet Union (1929), Guatemala (1964), Uganda (1970), and Cambodia (1956). But the outcome is always the same: the state and the crooks keep the weapons and the ensuing police state meets much less resistance.

Australia in 2008 forced gun owners to surrender 640,381 personal firearms for destruction, at a cost of more than $500 million to the taxpayer. In a year, with criminals more confident their victims would be unarmed, homicides were up 6.2%. Assaults were up 9.6%. Robberies were up 44%.

It’s been said that, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner… and Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”

If there were a hidden agenda to rule the world, we could just get rid of those in charge to stop it.

It’s the Agenda, Not Any One Person

It is critical to realize that the Global Domination Agenda is not dependent on any one person or small group for its survival. It is a worldview institutionalized in man-made laws, kept in place by bribes and threats. It has become in some ways a “legal mafia” because violations of contract integrity, persons and property have been OK’d by legislation. Just a few examples are: fraud and embezzlement (fiat money, swaps, short sales, derivatives, subsidies, bailouts, corporate personhood, etc.) theft (involuntary taxation, eminent domain land seizures), kidnapping (military draft, extraordinary rendition, Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act…), assault (mandatory vaccines, mandatory pesticide sprays, covert Chemtrails spraying, sobriety checkpoints…) torture (“enhanced interrogation techniques”)

So it is the moral basis and transparency of all systems that must be transformed, and no system can be imposed except in true self-defense.

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin

Mind Control and Abuse

For me the role of sexual abuse in this domination scheme is the bottom of the bottom, the most repulsive part of the underbelly of what gets discovered as one continues to follow the threads of money and power. My research has convinced me that pedophilia and even Satanic rituals are an integral part of the lives of many of the perpetrators of this agenda and is a part of the mind-control system that operates in their covert plan for domination. This information is not critical for understanding that there is a global domination agenda or what we can do to achieve true liberty. I include it because I believe it is true and reveals the level of disturbing perversion that underlies the psyche of those in positions of vast power and the role of mind control (such as MK Ultra) that is involved in carrying out their agenda. I suggest you pursue it only at the pace that works for you to integrate such a disturbing realization into the larger picture of the vast love and awakening that is emerging at this time on our planet. For  authoritative research and first hand eye-witness and victim reports check out:Cathy O’Brien, Brice Taylor, Hollie Greig, Carolyn Hamlett, the Franklin Cover-up.

As horrifying as it is to think what is being done to so many of the most defenseless among us, it was important for me to come to the realization that many of these same controllers who seek to abuse children are also running the major power centers of the world. Few of us get up in the morning thinking how we can cause pain and suffering for others, but some do. And their psychopathic or sociopathic capabilities to dissociate from human suffering actually tend to be rewarded in the system of lies and deceptions that is our political and financial structure. Recognizing that there are individuals whose psyches have been distorted into destructive patterns like this makes it even more imperative not to have a monopoly on money creation and a monopoly on force like the current bankster-run state.

In his scientific exploration, Political Ponerology, Andrew Lobaczewski traces the backgrounds of prominent figures whose sociopathic personalities have led to the deaths of millions. It is critical to understand that not only are there those who long to do harm to individuals and the masses, but their lack of moral values, integrity and compassion is rewarded in the corrupt power structures of today.

Recognizing that there are individuals whose psyches have been distorted into destructive patterns like this makes it even more imperative not to have a monopoly on money creation and a monopoly on force like the current bankster-run state.

Nobody would do such a thing.

Just because most of the people we know would not harm anyone on purpose, it doesn’t mean there are not those who could, would and choose to on a regular basis. These are people who have disassociated from normal human feelings to where they can knowingly run millions out of their jobs and homes, have hundreds of thousands killed in unnecessary and illegitimate wars and sicken intentionally countless others – and justify it with a worldview that says they know best, they have a special right to rule and that they are making a better world for the chosen by their cruelty to the many.

“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
– Henry Kissinger, New York Times, Oct 28, 1973

What Are the Global Elite Suppressing

The elite controllers have a history of suppressing anything that threatens their own control or money-controlling abilities, including revolutionary energy technologies. They are literally suppressing the very information and solutions we need to thrive on a healthy planet.
Scientists as far back as Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s have been developing alternative ways to access electricity without combustion. Tesla discovered the AC current that’s used all over the world today. He also developed the ability to transmit electrical energy through the air like radio waves, where they could be picked up with an antenna. He built the Wardenclyffe Tower to demonstrate the capability to the world. But right before his demonstration, banker JP Morgan ceased further funding and the project was terminated. Morgan owned the copper mines and was making a fortune from all the copper wires used to conduct electricity. Tesla’s invention would have made those copper wires obsolete.
The suppression continues to this day. The US Patent Office has seized over 5000 alternative energy inventions claiming in the name of “Nation Security.” Inventors such as John Hutchison, Adam Trombly, and John Bedini have all invented similar new energy technologies – that have the potential to get us off of oil so that everyone can access a universally abundant energy source – but their labs have been raided and devices destroyed. To learn more about it, go to the New Energy Technology section of the site.
But New Energy is just one example. Suppression reaches into every Sector where the Agenda is looking to centralize control. A short list of just a few examples of what is being suppressed or marginalized:

• Organic growing
• Natural and Raw Foods
• Natural Supplements
• Natural Cures
• Medical Marijuana dispensaries
• Independent radio stations
• Alternative Currencies
• Independent banks
• Generic and imported medicines
• Independent Investigations into 9/11
• Alternate political candidates
• Voting Machines with paper trails
• Voting by people of color and soldiers
• Home schooling
• Freedom from vaccination
• Privacy in the moving of personal money
• Internet Privacy and equality of speed and access
• Scientific information that questions the man-made global warming theories
• Resistance to and Labeling of GMO foods
• Transparency of the Federal Reserve and Black Budget appropriations

Quotes

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

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

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

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

    – Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of England

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

    – Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France

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

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

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

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

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

    – Pope John Paul II, 2000

Conclusions

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

“The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.”
– Ralph Nader

The Oil Empire & The Suppression of Alternative Energy Sources

We are extremely dependent on oil, which translates into phenomenal profits for energy corporations. The oil industry has enough money and influence to suppress anything that might threaten their monopoly. They commit huge resources to undermine energy alternatives, control global reserves, and maintain high oil prices.  This timeline shows the rise of the Rockefeller oil empire and the suppression of alternatives by major energy corporations.

A few days later, Trombly was scheduled to demonstrate the same device at the US Senate Banking and Finance Committee in Washington. Only Senator Carl Levin and a “handful” of staff were in attendance because the Senior Bush Administration called hundreds of Senators, Congressional Representatives and their staff members for an “off-the-cuff” discussion of the Clean Air Act at the exact same time as Trombly’s demonstration.  The oil administration successfully diverted attention away from the technology in an effort to censor Trombly. Subsequently his lab was raided by the FBI, millions of dollars of equipment was taken and he was threatened and required “for reasons of national security” to cease his research.

FOLLOW THE MONEY – ENVIRONMENT

FOLLOW THE MONEY – ENVIRONMENT

Our food system isn’t working. There’s enough food to feed everyone, and yet one out of every six people are starving.  At the same time U.S. agri-business is the second most profitable industry next to Pharmaceuticals, with an annual value of more than $800 billion.[1] Agri-business is dominated by a handful of international corporations – among them Monsanto, Cargill, Bunge and ADM.  This is no accident.  If you trace back the money behind our flawed agricultural system, you’ll see that it was initiated by Rockefeller funded research and designed to benefit the same financial elite who gain in all other sectors of human endeavor. It is designed to breed dependency on bio-tech and oil companies, both of which are largely influenced and controlled by the Rockefellers.

What’s wrong with our food system?

Conventional farming practices are destroying our environment through the use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers and GMO’s.

Pesticides: Our food is being sprayed with pesticides that have serious health and environmental consequences.

Oil Dependency: Single crops are planted over vast areas, with no other plants interspersed, known as monoculture. This requires more pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers that are all petroleum based.

GMOs: Our ability to grow and consume healthy food is threatened by genetically modified seeds. This is because GMOs can cross-pollinate and contaminate other seeds with their genes. Some GMO seeds are even made so they can’t reproduce, called “terminator” seeds.

Rockefeller Funding of Green Revolution Agriculture and Biotechnology

1940’s – The Green Revolution – The Green Revolution of the 1940’s introduced the type of farming we have today.  It was initiated when the Rockefeller Foundation’s Natural Science Division combined with large agricultural companies. Their plan was to introduce a type of farming that required pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers – all petroleum based – to make money for themselves and centralize even more control. Green Revolution agriculture has added great costs to the consumers in the form of taxpayer subsidies and environmental harm.

1971 –The Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) – The Rockefeller Foundation, World Bank, and Ford Foundation established the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in 1971. Today it operates under the World Bank, with 15 international centers, 64 partners, and spends around $350 million every year.  Much of its work has been spreading GMO’s to developing countries.[2]

The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) – The ISAAA says it “delivers the benefits of agricultural biotechnology to resource-poor farmers in developing countries.” The Rockefeller Brothers’ Fund contributed financially to the founding of ISAAA[3] and the Rockefeller Foundation remains a major donor.[4]  It operates 3 regional centers – in Kenya, the Philippines, and Ithaca, New York. The center in the Philippines – the International Rice Research Institute – was established in 1960 by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation.  The ISAAA is a way for the elite to gain control of global food systems and breed our dependency on biotech companies. Other current donors to the ISAAA include Monsanto, USDA, and USAID. [5]

1984-2000 – Rice Biotechnology – During this period the Rockefeller Foundation spent $104.7 million on the International Program on Rice Biotechnology [6]

2006-Present – Bringing the Green Revolution to Africa – The Rockefeller Foundation and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are the founding partners and funders of AGRA, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa. In 2006, the Rockefeller Foundation put up $50 million of initial funding toward the project and the Gates Foundation put up $150 million. [7] The stated focus of AGRA is to increase crop production, which involves the same harmful farming practices we experience now, including heavy pesticide use, planting of GMO crops, and training of African scientists and farmers to spread this model throughout the continent. AGRA has all the same financial beneficiaries, and human and environmental consequences as the Green Revolution in America.

Government Collusion

On the surface it may not seem like government agencies, officials, or politicians would go for this type of farming, especially when it has proven to be harmful. But when you follow the money and connections between industry and government it begins to make more sense.

Political Contributions – In 2008, the Agribusiness Industry gave more than $65 million to Federal political candidates.[8]

The USDA gets a share of GMO sales – The USDA is supposed to be responsible for assessing the impacts of GMO crops, but a study of over 8,000 GMO field test applications showed the USDA didn’t require a single environmental assessment.[9] This makes sense when you follow the money to discover that the USDA has a contractual agreement to receive nearly 5% of the net sales of any commercial products using Monsanto’s Genetic Use Restriction Technologies such as “traitor” GMO seeds. [10]

Revolving door between government and industry – A number of people have gone back and forth between positions in government agencies and Monsanto, the largest biotech company in the world. Alongside the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto is largely responsible for spreading the use of GM crops around the world.  By infiltrating government agencies, it is able to uphold its own interests.

Summary

When we get to the headwaters of the control stream, we find that chemical-dependent farming and biotechnology are financially beneficial to the same elite few.  The Rockefeller’s show up again and again – creating the so-called “Green Revolution,” forming major international organizations devoted to manipulating and dominating biotechnology, funding GMO research and development, and currently pushing to bring the same agricultural model to Africa.

Learning to see through the lens of the Global Domination Agenda and understanding  the structure and tactics for manipulation can help us resist this destructive dominance and come up with alternative models that truly empower people to grow healthy food around the world. It is an example of where the experience in the West can be shared with people in Africa organizing resistance to this dangerous trend.

THE ORIGIN OF COMPULSORY SCHOOLING

THE ORIGIN OF COMPULSORY SCHOOLING

“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand.  The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk.  We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science.  We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters.  We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians.  Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

            – Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Business Advisor to John D. Rockefeller Sr., 1913 [1]

The current American school system took root around the turn of the century. In 1903, John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board, which provided major funding for schools across the country and was especially active in promoting the State-controlled public school movement.

Rockefeller Education Board, 1915

The General Education Board was not interested in encouraging critical thinking. Rather, its focus was on organizing children and creating reliable, predictable, obedient citizens.  As award-winning former teacher John Gatto puts it, “school was looked upon from the first part of the 20^th Century as a branch of industry and a tool of governance.”   The Rockefellers, along with other financial elite and their philanthropic organizations (such as the Gates, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts) have been able to mold society by funding and pushing compulsory state schooling for the masses.

Here’s a timeline to show the radical shift in education and the influence of the financial elite.

Pre 1840: Literacy Rates High, Schools Predominantly Private and Locally Controlled

Up until the 1840’s, the American school system was mainly private, decentralized, and home schooling was common. Americans were well educated and literacy rates were high.

1852: Massachusetts Passes First Mandatory Attendance Law

 

1902: John D. Rockefeller Creates the General Education Board

At the ultimate cost of $129 million, the General Education Board provided major funding for schools across the nation and was very influential in shaping the current school system.

1905: Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is Founded

 

1906: NEA Becomes a Federally Chartered Association

 

1913: Frederick T. Gates, Director of Charity for the Rockefeller Foundation, Writes “In our dream…the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand”

Frederick T. Gates wrote in The Country School of Tomorrow, Occasional Papers Number 1:

“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand.  The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk.  We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science.  We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters.  We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians.  Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

 

1914: National Education Association (NEA) Alarmed by the Activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations

At an annual meeting in St. Paul Minnesota, a resolution was passed by the Normal School Section of the NEA. An excerpt stated:

“We view with alarm the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations—agencies not in any way responsible to the people—in their efforts to control the policies of our State educational institutions, to fashion after their conception and to standardize our courses of study, and to surround the institutions with conditions which menace true academic freedom and defeat the primary purpose of democracy as heretofore preserved inviolate in our common schools, normal schools, and universities.”

1917: NEA Reorganizes and Moves to Washington DC

The NEA is the largest labor union in the U.S., representing public school teachers and other school faculty and staff. It generally opposes merit pay, school vouchers, accountability reforms, and more.

1918: Every State Requires Students to Complete Elementary School

1932: “Eight Year Study” – Largely funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and the General Education Board

This laid the groundwork for education reform and the schooling system we have today.

1946: Rockefeller Foundation grants the General Education Board $7.5 billion

1953: Reece Committee of the US House of Representatives Reveals Agenda of Carnegie Endowment and Rockefeller Foundation on Education

“It seems incredible that the trustees of typically American fortune-created foundations should have permitted them to be used to finance ideas and practices incompatible with the fundamental concepts of our Constitution. Yet there seems evidence that this may have occurred.”

-Norman Dodd, Director of Research, Special Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations, 1954 [2]

1968: Edith Roosevelt’s Article “The Foundation Machine” Indicts Carnegie Funded Textbooks

Carnegie funded “Programmed Textbooks” were distributed to “culturally deprived areas.” Edith Roosevelt stated that “these young children are being indoctrinated with a pattern of anti-social ideas that will completely and violently alienate them from the mainstream of American middle-class values.”

1979: US Department of Education Created

1986: Carnegie Teaching Panel Charts New Teacher Framework & Provides $900,000 in Grants for Reforms

2003: 14% of American Adults are Illiterate

The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) administered tests which revealed 14% of US residents would have extreme difficulty with reading and written comprehension. In 2003, some 30 million American adults had Below Basic prose literacy, 27 million had Below Basic document literacy, and 46 million had Below Basic quantitative literacy.

BANKING HISTORY TIMELINE – FOLLOW THE MONEY

BANKING HISTORY TIMELINE – FOLLOW THE MONEY

Elite banking families – including the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Morgans – have gained control of the global economy through the central banking system. They set up the Federal Reserve in the US in 1913 and have been manipulating the market to benefit themselves ever since. This timeline shows the pattern of American Presidents being assassinated after challenging central bankers and their monopoly on money, and the Federal Reserve’s artificial creation of booms and busts that causes people to lose their jobs, homes, and retirements, while the bankers further consolidate wealth and control.

1694 – Bank of England Established

First Central Bank established in the UK. Served as model for most modern central banks.

1744- Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of the Rothschild Banking Empire, is Born in Frankfurt, Germany

Mayer Amschel Rothschild extended his banking empire across Europe by carefully placing his five sons in key positions. They set up banks in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Naples, and Paris.  By the mid 1800’s they dominated the banking industry, lending to governments around the world and people such as the Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Cecil Rhodes.

1757- Colonial Scrip Issued in US

Debt free, fiat currency was printed in the public interest. As Benjamin Franklin said,

“In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called colonial scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay no one.”

1776 – American Independence

1791 – Congress Creates the First US Bank – A Private Company, Partly Owned by Foreigners – to Handle the Financial Needs of the New Central Government

Previously, the 13 states had their own banks, currencies and financial institutions.

1816 – The Privately Owned Second Bank of the US was Chartered – It Served as the Main Depository for Government Revenue, Making it a Highly Profitable Bank

1832 – Andrew Jackson Campaigns Against the 2^nd Bank of the US and Vetoes Bank Charter Renewal

Andrew Jackson was  skeptical of the central banking system and believed it gave too few men too much power and caused inflation. He was also a proponent of gold and silver and an outspoken opponent of the 2^nd National Bank. The Charter expired in 1836.

1833 – President Jackson Issues Executive Order to Stop Depositing Government Funds Into Bank of US

By September 1833, government funds were being deposited into state chartered banks.

Jan 30, 1835 – Jackson Escapes Assassination

Assassin misfired twice.

1833-1837 – Manufactured “boom” created by central bankers – money supply Increases 84%, Spurred by the 2^nd Bank of the US

The total money supply rose from $150 million to $267 million.[1]

1837-1843 – Terrible Depression

343 of the 850 banks in the US closed entirely as largest banks consolidated wealth and power.[2]

1861 – American Civil War

1862-1863 Lincoln Over Rules Debt-Based Money and Issues Greenbacks to Fund the War

Bankers would only lend the government money under certain conditions and at high interest rates, so Lincoln issued his own currency – “greenbacks” – through the US Treasury, and made them legal tender. His soldiers went on to win the war, followed by great economic expansion.

April 15, 1865 – Lincoln Assassinated

1881- President James Garfield, Staunch Proponent of “Honest Money” Backed by Gold and Silver, was Assassinated

Garfield opposed fiat currency (money that was not backed by any physical object) and was a strong advocate of a bi-metal monetary system. He had the second shortest Presidency in history.

1907- Banking Panic of 1907

The New York Stock Exchange dropped dramatically as everyone tried to get their money out of the banks at the same time across the nation. This banking panic spurred debate for banking reform. JP Morgan and others gathered to create an image of concern and stability in the face of the panic, which eventually led to the formation of the Federal Reserve. The founders of the Federal Reserve pretended like the bankers were opposed to the idea of its formation in order to mislead the public into believing that the Federal Reserve would help to regulate bankers when in fact it really gave even more power to private bankers, but in a less transparent way.

1908 – JP Morgan Associate and Rockefeller Relative Nelson Aldrich Heads New National Monetary Commission

Senate Republican leader, Nelson Aldrich, heads the new National Monetary Commission that was created to study the cause of the banking panic. Aldrich had close ties with J.P. Morgan and his daughter married John D. Rockefeller.

1910 – Bankers Meet Secretly on Jekyll Island to Draft Federal Reserve Banking Legislation

Over the course of a week, some of the nations most powerful bankers met secretly off the coast of Georgia, drafting a proposal for a private Central Banking system. Those in attendance included Nelson Aldrich, A.P. Andrew (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury), Paul Warburg (Kuhn, Loeb, & Co.), Frank Vanderlip (President of National City Bank of New York), Charles D. Norton (president of the Morgan-dominated First National Bank of New York), Henry Davidson (Senior Partner of JP Morgan Co.), and Benjamin Strong (representing JP Morgan).

Dec 23, 1913 – Federal Reserve Act Passed

Two days before Christmas, while many members of Congress were away on vacation, the Federal Reserve Act was passed, creating the Central banking system we have today. It was based on the Aldrich plan drafted on Jekyll Island and gave private bankers supreme authority over the economy. They are now able to create money out of nothing (and loan it out at interest), make decisions without government approval, and control the amount of money in circulation.

1913 – Income tax established -16^th Amendment Ratified

Taxes ensured that citizens would cover the payment of debt due to the Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, which was also created in 1913.The 16^th Amendment stated: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

1914 – JP Morgan and Co. Profits from Financing both sides of War and Purchasing Weapons

J.P. Morgan and Co. made a deal with the Bank of England to give them a monopoly on underwriting war bonds for the UK and France. They also invested in the suppliers of war equipment to Britain and France.

November 1914 – Federal Reserve Banks Open

1921-1929 – The “Roaring 20’s” – The Federal Reserve Floods the Economy with Cash and Credit

From 1921 to 1929 the Federal Reserve increased the money supply by $28 billion, almost a 62% increase over an eight-year period.[3] This artificially created another “boom”.

1929 – Federal Reserve Contracts the Money Supply

In 1929, the Federal Reserve began to pull money out of circulation as loans were paid back. They created a “bust” which was inevitable after issuing so much credit in the years before. The Federal Reserve’s actions triggered the banking crisis, which led to the Great Depression.

October 24, 1929 – “Black Thursday”, Stock Market Crash

The most devastating stock market crash in history. Billions of dollars in value were consolidated into the private banker’s hands at the expense of everyone else.

1930- Great Depression Begins

1929-1933- Federal Reserve Reduces Money Supply by 33%

June 4, 1963 – Kennedy Issued an Executive Order (11110) that Authorized the US Treasury to Issue Silver Certificates, Threatening the Federal Reserve’s Monopoly on Money

This government issued currency would bypass the governments need to borrow from bankers at interest.

Nov. 22, 1963 – Kennedy Assassinated

December 1963 – Johnson Reverses Kennedy’s Banking Rule and Restores Power to the Federal Reserve

1999 – The Financial Services Modernization Act Allows Banks to Grow Even Larger

Many economists and politicians have recognized that this legislation played a key part in the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007.  It repealed part of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 and allowed investment banks, commercial banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to merge. Citigroup was a major proponent of this particular bill (it had already merged with Travelers Insurance and needed to find a way to legally keep the corporation together). The government gave Citi officials the opportunity to review and approve drafts before the legislation was introduced and to modify it as they desired. Robert Rubin, Treasury Secretary at the time, helped move the bill forward in early 1999.  He then stepped down from the Treasury position in July, joined CitiGroup in October, and the bill was passed in November.  The Center for Responsive Politics also found that members of Congress who supported the bill received twice as much money from the banking sector than those who opposed it.[4]

2000-2003 – The Federal Reserve Extends “Easy Credit”, Lowers the Federal Fund Rate from 6.5% to 1%[5] and Sets up Another Financial “Boom”

2004 – Investment Banks and the SEC Cut a Deal

On April 28, 2004, five of the biggest investment banks, including Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs (then run by Henry Paulson, who later became Secretary of the Treasury), met with members of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), urging them to allow voluntary regulation of themselves, so they could determine themselves how much money they could make up out of nothing to loan into circulation. This is known as the banks leverage ratio, or amount of assets to borrowing ratio. Up until 2004, the amount of debt the banks could take on was limited. However, in 2004, the SEC agreed to let banks regulate themselves and take on as much debt as they wanted, therefore unleashing billions of dollars for high-risk investment packages. Under this new voluntary regulation the Bear Stearns ratio, for example, jumped to 33 to 1.[6] Not long after, the economy collapsed and financial wealth and power was again further consolidated into the hands of the private bankers who run the Federal Reserve.

2004-2006 – Federal Reserve Sets Off New “Bust” by Making Loans and Adjustable Rate Mortgages More Expensive, Raising Fed Fund Rates to 5.25%[7], This contracts the market.

2007-2010 – Worst Financial Crisis Since the Great Depression

The financial crisis impacted people around the world – millions lost their homes, jobs, and retirement funds. Many of the smaller banks were absorbed by others, which allowed the biggest banks to further consolidate wealth and eliminate competition. In 2008, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. bought up both Washington Mutual (the biggest bank to “fail” in the history of the United States) and Bear Stearns (the fifth largest investment bank).

2010 – JP Morgan Chase Reports Record Profits

The bank made a record profit of $17.4 Billion in 2010. [8]

FOLLOW THE MONEY – ARTS

FOLLOW THE MONEY – ARTS

The undervaluing and underfunding of the arts is largely a product of our state-school system that was established around the turn of the century by the financial elite including the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Gates, and Vanderbilts.  Compulsory state schooling was designed to reward rote behavior and obedience, not to encourage critical thinking and creative artistic expression.

As Rev. Frederick T. Gates, business advisor to John D. Rockefeller, stated in 1913, the goal of the state education system was not to create authors, orators, poets, artists, painters, or musicians, but docile and responsive citizens:

“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand.  The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk.  We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science.  We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters.  We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians.  Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

         – Rev. Frederick T. Gates, 1913

During the years when children are most naturally curious and creative, they are forced to sit in highly regimented classrooms and learn standardized curriculum that suppresses their artistic inclinations.  Then, if they evidence restlessness, fidgeting, boredom or non-compliance, they are often put on Ritalin or other dangerous psychtropic pharmaceuticals.[1] Most students in the U.S., from elementary to high school, have little access to music, theatre, arts, or drawing classes. If they do, they are considered “extracurricular” and are not given equal weight to other classes. This is no accident. If students were to access their full range of potential, through critical thinking and creative expression, they would be more apt to bond with each other through shared creating instead of compete against one another, which would challenge the dominant power dynamic.

The suppression of art extends beyond the lack of encouragement and funding in the state schooling system. It can also be seen in who does and who does not get funding for their art projects. For example, hip hop and rap artists with positive messages are denied funding from record labels who are owned by major media corporations. These musicians are trying to challenge the mainstream messages of rap and hip hop that often degrade women, promote violence, and reinforce negative stereotypes, but they are rejected by major funders. Wouldn’t these companies want to help support a positive message and change public perception about communities of color? Judging by their funding, apparently not.  Their money goes to reinforcing the status quo.  Exploiting people of color is very common. Empowering them and their communities does not seem to be.

Throughout the last century, the financial elite through their “philanthropic organizations” have funded and pushed the state schooling system in an effort to suppress both critical thinking and artistic expression, and have also denied funding to artists that challenge the status quo in order to maintain their positions of power.

FOLLOW THE MONEY PYRAMID

FOLLOW THE MONEY PYRAMID

This pyramid shows the basic global structure of dominance and control through the money system.

The different levels are broken down as follows:

Financial Elite – The global financial elite – including members or representatives of the Rockefeller, Rothschild, and Morgan families – hold secret meetings and make important decisions in closed groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations.  These plans are then implemented throughout the world, further consolidating material wealth and control.

Bank for International Settlements –The BIS is the central bank of central banks based out of Basel, Switzerland that is controlled by the financial elite. It has 55 member central banks but is mainly run by bankers from the United States, England, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Japan. It operates with little transparency and is not accountable to national governments even though it has significant control over the global financial system by setting reserve requirements, the amount of money a banks around the world must have on reserve.

International Central Banks – Central bankers use the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to make more money while exploiting the resources of countries they lend to – bankrupting them in the process. For every dollar the US contributes to these banks, US Corporations – such as Halliburton, Exxon Mobil, and Bechtel (controlled by the economic elite) – receive more than double that amount in contracts from these international banks.[1]

National Central Banks – Almost all countries have a central bank (see the list here), of which commercial banks are members. Central banks set interest rates and determine the amount of money in circulation. They also lend to governments at interest, putting them above the lower four levels of the pyramid.

Big Banks – Big banks offer corporations loans at special rates, allowing them to do business. This puts banks in a powerful position, above corporations and the rest of us, because funding is what allows the corporations to go forward with their projects.

Corporatocracy – Corporations fund political campaigns and influence politicians through lobbying. Many are now bigger than entire national economies, putting corporations above government.

Government – Government is largely funded through taxpayer money, putting it above the people.  If it wants to borrow extra money it must go to a Central Bank.

People, The Planet, and All Living Things – At the bottom level of the pyramid is the majority of people on this planet and all other life.  As of 2010, one in every seven people on the planet did not have enough to eat and most ecosystems were suffering.

TIPS FOR HOW TO FOLLOW THE MONEY

TIPS FOR HOW TO FOLLOW THE MONEY

By Kimberly Carter Gamble

In journalism, they always say if a story doesn’t make sense, follow the money. To learn more about the value of this, you can check out various links on our website. Here are some easy tips for how to follow the money with projects and organizations in your life:

If there is a project in your town that you are concerned about:

Find out what corporation is proposing, or benefitting from, the contract. Let’s say it’s a proposed coal-fired power plant. One of the main coal companies around the world is AES Gener, so for these purposes we’ll say that is the corporation behind the project in your town.

AES Gener has to have a loan to fund the project. Just like you need a loan to build a house or start a business, big corporations need loans to fund their projects.  Go to the website of the company. Go to the investor relations section and look up their SEC filings – particularly their annual report 10K and their annual proxy for indications of their lead bank. Sometimes it can be found in the exhibits (such as loan documents) to their annual report. The SEC filings can also be found on the SEC’s website under their EDGAR system (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, & Retrieval).

http://www.investopedia.com/articles/fundamental-analysis/08/SEC-forms.asp#axzz1acH0zVOz.

Sometimes this is a tedious task and takes some sleuthing, and may show up indirectly. It is usually in fine print and amidst seemingly boring information. I first got the idea for this by doing a search for the word “risk” while I was digging around looking for the funding institution of a proposed coal plant. The 10K report had a statement saying that one of the risks to their shareholders was bad publicity for their bank. Voila! What a good idea! Create big risk to the funder and the project gets pulled! (Much of the money for coal plants in general, and for AES Gener in particular, is loaned by Bank of America. So if you oppose coal-based energy, don’t bank with Bank of America.)

Get as much negative publicity as you can for the bank and the project. Boycotts are one of the most effective strategies, because the banks rely on our deposits for the funds they use to make their loans. I suggest you organize everyone you know who opposes the project to withdraw their money from the bank that’s providing the loan. It is also valuable to ask them to put in writing to the bank why they are withdrawing their funds.

If you are supporting a charitable cause you can follow the money like this:

Check to see where any philanthropic organization you support keeps their money. You can call them up and ask, or you can check their Annual Report, which is required to be available to the public.

Because of fractional reserve lending, banks are allowed to loan out about 9 times the money they have on deposit. This is important for a variety of reasons, and in this case what it means is that if you give $100 to an organization that protects wildlife, and that organization banks with Union Bank of California, you are giving $900 worth of lending power to the bank and only $100 to the cause you support. Union Bank of California is owned by Mitsubishi, who is responsible for vast clear cutting, which is one of the major threats to wildlife. So a contribution to an organization that banks responsibly is a very leveraged contribution, just as a financial gift to one that banks with one of the tapeworm twenty is going to greatly undermine the impact you are hoping to have.

I suggest you speak directly to the people in charge of the organization you want to support. Many people are simply uniformed. It is also not an effortless process to move a large organization’s money – there are many perks from the banks and they will do a lot to keep big clients. Here is a link to some questions and considerations that can help them make the move. The more people do this the more competitive local banks and credit unions can become in terms of their services. Meanwhile, it is a question of values: Is it worth financially supporting the people and institutions who are causing so much destruction on this planet and in our lives just because they offer cheaper ATM fees and more immediate convenience?

You can tell the head of the organization that you will contribute when they change their bank to a local bank or credit union. Even if it’s not yourlocal bank, if the charitable organization is based somewhere else, for instance, they can still bank with an institution that is local to them and their different branches, thereby making those communities more resilient while simultaneously de-funding our demise.

Here’s what I recommend for following the money with a political policy or congressional bill:

• Look outside mainstream media, especially outside official government sites
• See what the people and organizations who will be effected directly by the proposed policy think about it
• Expose yourself to opposing arguments
• Look for details about the policy or proposal rather than the broad idea
• Google search: don’t just use the first sites that pop up, try searching back several pages
• Think about who will benefit and who will be hurt from the policy
• Check sources for facts and ask for documentation of claims from key spokespeople
• Investigate the relationship between the person who is advocating for the policy and the people who will implement or benefit from it – This can be done by further googling the names of the spokespeople, their Board of Director and past employment affiliations, what other bills or projects they promote that benefit the same corporations, etc.

Here’s an example from July 2011. I was listening to the mainstream news right after President Obama gave his Jobs Report Speech to Congress. The latest unemployment statistics had just been released and a sense of panic prevailed.  Flashing across all the stations was an excerpt from Obama’s speech in which he emphatically encouraged us to put pressure on Congress to pass the America Invents Act. I followed the process outlined above and here is what I found in one session of light research:

The America Invents Bill:

• favors big corporations, big banks, companies with funds to invest in patenting, undermining most inventors who lack large funds by changing the current “first to invent” clause to “first to file”
• forces inventors to spend money on patenting before research and development, experimenting and checking the merits of an invention – again benefitting large corporate interests
• the provision in Section 18 expands the time limits for a class of patents known as “business method patents” (BMP’s, allowing banks to infringe and use others patent’s for extended time periods without getting in trouble)
• converts US patent law to international patent law, (empowering global elite over sovereign nations)

So in fact big corporations and big banks would benefit from this America Invents Bill, and it would not help unemployment in any way.

No matter what subject I look into, the money almost always follows a predictable chain of command, benefitting big banks, and consolidating power into the hands of the people who own and control them. This is true globally, nationally and locally. The banking system is the mode by which it happens. So the place to follow the money is by looking to the banks, the bankers and the corporations they lend to.

You have a lot more power than you might realize.
