Fascism, state terror and power abuse

A satanic (luciferian) world order - starting in the cradle of civilisation, Iraq

The perpetual war, to end all peace - but Bush, Blair and the rest are on a hiding to nothing

Do please take the time to look through the evidence compiled by the 9/11 truth movement. Democratic institutions and rights, particularly in the UK & US, are under sustained covert attack.

The same neoCon mafia who got away with Iran/Contra (where the US military used illegal drug money to fund far right uprisings) are now at the helm of the most powerful nuclear armed state in the world. British and US occupying forces are dishing out 'government approved' terror alongside CIA trained fanatics. More worryingly NATO/Israeli special forces appear to be responsible for hundreds of false flag attacks targetting civilians in occupied lands which are then blamed on various local factions. As in Operation Gladio (watch the BBC Timewatch DVD) carried out by NATO Intelligence prove, this is nothing new.

The NATO/Zionist alliance are fuelling anti-Western hatred round the world and channeling massive public funds to the Carlyle Group/Halliburton/military industrial complex. The ultimate objective appears to be to generate an economic and nuclear crisis (and permanent massive military spending) to 'rescue' Western economies and bounce us all into a far-right global police state. The links between 'defensive' treaty bureacracy NATO and the Nazis are too many to ignore.

War is terrorism with a bigger budget

You could be endangering your family and loved ones by not having read this book - 911 Synthetic Terror, Made in USA by Webster Griffin Tarpley

Documents like those of the New American Century project and Zbigniew Brzezinski's book 'The Grand Chessboard, American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives' explain the plan which includes extending military objectives and operations to information warfare.

But does the end justify the means?

As the extraordinary events unfold in this 'war on terrorism' I present an alternative chronology. Based on the idea that the main public offices and centres of power in the world, politics; police; education; the press; armed forces and royalty have been heavily infiltrated by a rogue network of selfish psycopathic liars. Here you will find well researched, often mainstream press articles, which show another side to events, namely that a US corporate led fascist system of global control is gradually being imposed around the world.

'And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet' Matthew 24:6

'So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/multiculturalists.'

20. april 2012 av Torstein Viddal

I happened to be present at the Oslo courthouse on Tuesday, April 17th, watching and listening to 22/7 terrorist Anders Behring Breiviks 75 minute main prepared defense speech. A speech that the press and media were banned from broadcasting to the general public. These are my thoughts after following the story for almost nine months.

The first thing that has to be said, is that watching Breivik defend himself for 5 hours this Tuesday removed each and every doubt that he is indeed «legally sane», in the sense that he is absolutely fit to be punished by the Norwegian judicial system for his criminal terrorist acts. All «experts» who say otherwise are flat out lying. This is a sane, rational, logically stringent man of great wit, who happens to also have some pretty effed up ideological views that have made him become a mass murderer and a terrorist.

It should also be said right from the start of this article that there is little doubt that he carried out both the bombing in Oslo and the shooting at Utøya. What remains to be seen is whether he had accomplices and what parts of the misdeeds these people took part in. There were also some pretty amazing instances of police SNAFU  27 according to one commentator, but a lot more if you look more closely. Theres a string of maybe 40 or 50 or 60 grave mistakes on behalf of the police, guards and government, making them unable to stop Breivik before the bombing of Oslo, stop him getting out of Oslo and to nearby Utøya, and to stop the shooting ASAP when Breivik amazingly managed to get himself transported over the sound to Utøya island, using the Labour Partys own ferry.

So many instances of SNAFU, in fact, that the mathematical probability of them all occuring on the same day or relating to the same person, should tell you all you need to know. And of course, in the weeks and months after the terror, documents, tapes and other evidence started disappearing. As by invisible hands.

OK. So, returning to the terrorists defense speech on Tuesday, April 17th. Breivik started telling us how thered been no real post-WW2 democracy in Norway, because «nationalists» like himself were not allowed free speech and democratic rights. This should tell us that he wanted there to be more democracy, and that Norwegian democracy should also include «ultra nationalists», a fair point that even I could agree on.

However, he messes it up by contradicting himself completely. He loves America, and especially a certain McCarthy, the postwar communist witchhunt general, and he regrets that McCarthyism didnt go far enough and never succeeded in sending alleged «commie» American citizens to Soviet Russia. So, really, when it comes to a more real and including democracy with less political censorship, our terrorist is only in favour of it when it applies to his chums, and to his «nationalist» parties.

Apart from this ideologically induced blindness or logical breakdown, he argues convincingly that censoring a movement like his own for too long, eventually will make members of that movement resort to other means, even violence.

His speech more generally was aimed at reaching out to a slightly broader audience than his Manifesto and his earlier writing on Norwegian websites, or to «unite national conservatism, which I support, with national socialism and militant christendom», as he put it himself. So the strategy obviously is to appeal to a broader spectrum of racists, and to play down the Zionist issue, which devides Breivik, JDL, EDL, NDL and Knights Templar, on the one side, from other nationalists and nazis, on the other.

Breivik talks rather openly about the strategy of supporting and expanding «street extremism», like the JDL, EDL and NDL (Jewish, English and Norwegian Defense League, respectively), while at the same time building a network of single cell terror operatives, borrowing tactics from  yup  al-Qaida.

The reason for using terror cells consisting of only one man, says Breivik, is to avoid the eyes of anti-terror agencies. This way he only needed to meet with his comrades once or twice during a decade, if we choose to believe him, and I guess blogs, forums, RSS feeds, social media etc took care of the rest.

Breivik also tries to use the term «counter jihad» as much as possible, rather than «zionism», which is what he really supports, and he has succeeded in selling this bogus «counter jihad» term to the Norwegian mainstream media. To quote from the terrorists Manifesto:

«So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/multiculturalists.»

So, then, this is what it came to in Norway: Where we could have had the press digging into and revealing the horrific lies of the 9/11 terror attacks ten years after the events, instead we got a snob from the West who bombed his own city using «al-Qaida tactics», and who shot fellow Norwegian kids taking part in a summer youth camp for young politicians and future administrators, because he believed the lies and racist conspiracy theories fed to him for ten years by every newspaper, radio and TV station in this nation and throughout the West. Malicious, racist lies about muslims behind every terrorist act from New York and Bali, through Madrid and London, to Mumbai and Stockholm.

The mythical snake  Midgardsormen  seems to be biting its own tail: False-flag terrorism over a long, sad decade goes unnoticed by the press, the journalists and the editors, and the inevitable end-product of these ten years of lies and cowardice and cover-up is our very own Nordic mass murderer and terrorist; Anders Behring Breivik.

Whether he had handlers or not we dont know, and the press and the police for some reason dont seem very eager to find out, he is now the shining example, or knight in shining armour, intended to inspire many, many followers in Scandinavia, Europe and America.

He will even be allowed internet access in jail, and thus to build, expand and strengthen his zionist terrorist networks, both on the streets and in the single-man sleeper cells.

Bølløcks.

Brief History of the New World Order

The same old economic crisis is now repeating itself as these Elitist Bankers are getting ready for their WW3 after having sucessfully weakened the USA and Britain. What this author failed to point out more clearly is the the real power behind these Banking Mafia, namely the Rothschilds and their secretive infamous dynasty that have been behind all the tragic Wars in the last 200 years or so. How they have used and abused every nation, leaving them economically weakened and bankrupted, to achieve their ultimate goal- namely their New Wolrd Order - their hegemony for a One world Government, One world Bank, Currency, Military, Police - a Totalitarian World Fascist Government that resides at present in Tel Aviv but has its Financial Devil's den in London where it has been manipulating world events and economies.

Their next War will of course be against Iran, Syria, Lebanon and any other nation they want to rope in to their scheme of things. They have destroyed and bakrupted the USA, economically as well as politically and morally; have ensured the weakening of China through its unwise investments in the USA, outsourced businesses etc to India, its next little growing financial darling Enterprise; detroyed other nations' economies also through constant price fixings and manipulations and thus also ensuring all the relevant Laws are put into place to guarantee the fruition of the NWO.

A Brief History of the New World Order

February 2009 - Richard Moore

http://groups.google.com/group/misc.activism.progressive/browse_thread/thread/fa6e34d1c6caca70

"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, 6-11-6

World War I and the birth of the new-world-order project

The beginning of anything is always problematic to pin down. For every beginning, there are always antecedents, causes, preparations, broader canvases to consider, etc. For my money, World War I the war to end all wars is a sensible choice, as the launch-event into the new world order project.

Of course one must go further back for motivation, the conception of means, and for the vision. Some refer all the way back to The Illuminati, which was (still is?) a real conspiratorial clique aiming for global governance,. Others refer to Cecil Rhodes, who quite effectively used his wealth from diamond mining to promote his vision of global Anglo-Saxon dominance. Regardless of the details of the preceding historical thread, WWI was the epochal event that began an identifiable program toward a new world order, a single global hierarchy, controlling all global affairs, under the control of elite financiers.

The British Empire represented the ultimate evolution of one particular path to global dominance: a single hegemonic power, playing off other powers against one another in a balance of powers strategy. Certain mechanisms of power were perfected in this era. I refer to the integration of propaganda, racism, intelligence operations, covert intervention, diplomacy, financial manipulation, and naked military power all orchestrated, with considerable art and brutality, in the pursuit of imperialist objectives.

The real power behind the British government, however, by 1900, had long been the elite banking families of The City, in league with their colleagues in Europe and America. In Marxist terms, we would call this community the capitalist elite of the day, and they were the ones envisioning our now-unfolding new world order. Within the context of the British Empire, they had exercised considerable power over global affairs and finance, and they had outgrown the relatively limited vision of the British imperial model.

Britain itself, circa 1900, despite being still seen as the greatest world power, had become only a shadow of its former self. Once the manufacturer to the world it enjoyed a near monopoly on industrial production for a century it had now been eclipsed industrially by both Germany and the USA. Britain was no longer the obvious choice, as the base for a global power grab.

As Alexis d'Tocqueville had noted earlier in Democracy in America, the nations most inherently destined for greatness were the USA and Russia. Of the two, c. 1900, the USA was certainly more promising, from a capitalist perspective, as a power base. So the decision was made, to shift hegemony from London to Washington, and to create the context for a more evolved model of global hegemony.

For centuries The City's banking elite and Britain's nationalist elite had collaborated harmoniously. One might not have imagined a distinction between them; they were, it seemed, of a whole. But while in British circles generally, c. 1900, European dominance and the rise of Germany were the big issues, the bankers were looking at a broader canvas, and with a longer-range lens. A splitting of the ways was beginning, and a betrayal among global elites was in the offing.

In British nationalist eyes, control over the balance of power in Europe was everything. America was far away, and up until then its only imperialist adventures were also far away, peripheral to European affairs. Germany, however, had become an urgent threat to European dominance, with its industrial productivity and its plans for a Berlin- Baghdad railway and a wider rail network, undercutting Britain's sea- based dominance of world trade.

British nationalists, quite naturally, were thinking in terms of war with Germany, as the only available means of maintaining British hegemony. The banking elite, more slyly, was seeing such an adventure as a way to kill several birds with one stone. And thus began a classic betrayal scenario. For the time being they were still seemingly one, still comrades, the bankers and the nationalists . They worked together to set the stage for war, creating encircling alliances which would bring everyone and their cousin in against Germany and her allies, once a match was lit under the carefully prepared conflagration.

And then came the small matter of finance. Long before, the Rothschilds, the classic model of an elite banking family, learned that the financing of wars is the most profitable and reliable of all banking operations. Britain could indeed prosecute the war with Germany, with the help of her alliances, and prevail, and she could also stake out strategic claims in the Middle East but where would she get the money for the troops and ships? Don't worry about that, we'll take care of you, said the friendly bankers.

So Johnny goes marching off to war, allegedly to end war, while the British state pursues with vigor its nationalist objectives. Meanwhile the City's bankers appointed their man in America JP Morgan to broker America's support of the British war effort. By making America the financier and goods-supplier of Britain's war on Germany, Germany could be brought to its knees militarily, and Britain could be brought to its knees financially while at the same time America could be turned into a proto-superpower. All of these things coming together at one time that is why I see WWI as the birth of the new-world-order project.

WWI was the making of America, as a world power. Its actual military participation was minimal, late, and secondary. Much more important were the internal industrial expansion, the influx of funding to the domestic economy, and the business consolidation that occurred. Money went from New York to London, on loan, and then the money was sent back to Chicago, or Cleveland, or wherever, to purchase the goods of war. While Europeans and Brits were being slaughtered in their millions, Americans were experiencing boom times, leading into its golden age of the roaring 1920s.

When the war ended, Britain had accomplished her imperial objectives, had won the battle for European hegemony, and eliminated Germany as an immediate threat. In the process, however, she had inadvertently lost the war for global hegemony: Europe was no longer the focus of world power. Guns and troops had won the battle, but debt had won the war. All of Europe winners and losers alike were destitute as the war ended, and the victorious allies were encumbered by astronomical debt to the American Treasury and to the banking elite.

The European economic malaise that emerged out of the Treaty of Versailles is usually blamed, in popular mythology, on the 'shortsightedness of chauvinistic diplomats', eg. Clemenceau, in seeking revenge on their erstwhile enemies. Or it is blamed on 'narrow- minded protectionist measures' adopted by European nations in the postwar years. In reality, it was the enforcement of debt collection that caused the malaise, and it was Morgan's men, not diplomats, who dictated the draconian terms of repayment. The betrayal, of Britain by the bankers, was now complete, and the dagger was being twisted in the guts of the betrayed.

Britain and its allies could not afford the repayment terms out of their own pockets, so the fiction was propagated that Germany had started the war, and that it must therefore pay reparations to the innocent victors. As usual, the victors write the histories. The whole repayment scenario was carefully scripted by Morgan's men, in the terms of the treaty, so that Europe would be struggling for decades to pay their debts to America and to Morgan's financing syndicate. The focus of global hegemony had shifted Westward across the Atlantic.

While Europe had been devastated by war, America had built up its infrastructures and expanded its industrial base. While Europe emerged deeply in debt, America emerged with a strong balance sheet and an astronomical amount in the accounts-receivable column, to be paid by the war's 'victors', and subsidized by the 'losers'. While Europe struggled to rebuild requiring still more borrowing America could continue its economic expansion, capture global markets, and generally exploit its privileged financial and industrial position.

From a nationalist perspective, we could say that America won WWI, and all of Europe lost and lost big. The Europeans were bound to pay America huge sums for the privilege of having devastated one another. But in America as in Britain, one must draw a distinction between nationalist-minded elites, and financial elites. During the war the bankers had shown the face of a true comrade to both Britain and America enabling the one to win the war, and facilitating the rise to power of the other. Each of the banker's "friends" got what it wished for. (One needs to be very careful of what one wishes for.)

We have seen how the banking comrade betrayed his British nationalist friends, by shifting the ground of hegemony westward while the old ground was being bitterly contested. It turns out that the American nationalist friends were also betrayed at the same time, by the same banking comrade, in a coup that will be described in the next section. Britain had won the battle for Europe, for a while; America had won the battle for strongest nation, for a longer while but it was the banking elite who won the war for discretionary power over the future course of world affairs.

The Federal Reserve and the subversion of the American republic

"Let me issue and control a nations money and I care not who writes the laws." Amshall Rothschild

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson

Even while Britain was arranging its encircling alliances, and creating the conditions for inevitable war, banking-agent Morgan and his cohorts were busy arranging the means of financing the adventure, and creating the conditions so that that the banking elite would be the decider-behind-the-scenes and a primary raker-in-of-profits, as America exploited its position of dominance in the post-WWI era.

The time-tested formula, by which banking elites had come to dominate European governments, was the creation of a privately-owned central bank. Such a bank, according to the trusty formula, has the power to control credit, the money supply, and interest rates, to issue the currency of the nation, and to loan that currency at interest to the government. The implementation of that fatal formula in America, however, had severe obstacles to overcome. The dangers of a central bank were well known to the Founding Fathers, and sentiment among political elites remained strong in the republic against such an institution. Earlier implementations had occurred, and each had been dissolved, to beneficial effect, by a subsequent administration.

In order to overcome these political obstacles, the bankers employed two other time-tested formulas: buying politicians, and creating panic through engineered crisis.

Like so many well-minded politicians, who for the most part try to do good during their tenure, Woodrow Wilson found it necessary, at a critical juncture in his career, to make a pact with the devil. The path to the Presidency would be opened to him, and in most things he could have his own mind, but if a bill came before him establishing a central bank, he was to sign it. The pact was made, the coffers were opened, and the road to the Presidency was successfully travelled.

With Wilson elected, and his signature assured, it remained only to manipulate the Federal Reserve Bill (which was written by banking- agent Paul Warburg) through Congress. Step One was to create a banking panic, which JP Morgan was able to accomplish simply by leaking rumors to the press that a certain New York bank was in trouble, causing a run on the bank, and from there the crisis spread domino-fashion and general panic ensued.

When the panic was at its peak, the Federal Reserve Bill was introduced into Congress, along with false and sombre assurances that the result would be financial stability, and an end to boom-bust cycles. The general panic created enough political support that a vocal minority of Congress came to support the bill. Step Two, in manipulating the bill through Congress, was to call for a vote late one night, when most of Congress had gone home for Christmas, while the minority-in-favor had been tipped off to stick around. The bill passed, Wilson signed it promptly, and the coup was complete. The devil got his due, and just in time to maximize elite gains (both political and economic) from the financing of WWI.

Wilson lived to rue the day he shook hands with the devil. He expressed this later in strong terms:

"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world no longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men."

"Some of the biggest men in the United States are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere, so organised, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it"

The war had served as a vehicle to transfer the focus of hegemony to America, and much else was shipped across the Atlantic along with that focus. The lessons Britain had learned in its centuries of empire were brought over as well the sly coordination of the overt and the covert, secret collaborations between private and public actors, the artful use of deception and betrayal, and all the other tricks of internal intrigue and geopolitical dominance. The Council on Foreign Relations was established, directly on the model of a similar British organization. The emerging American giant was being carefully tutored by past masters of global games.

In a single decade the Anglo-American banking elite had managed to devastate Europe, launch America on the path to hegemony, secure direct control of American finance and behind-the-scenes control of American political affairs and rake in astronomical profits in the process. Let this be a lesson to those who assume that elites aren't clever enough to carry out big projects successfully in this complicated world of ours.

And in fact these kinds of elite manipulations are not really rocket science. When you have control over finance, and you have your tentacles into high-level political circles and you have centuries of experience at this kind of thing there's a lot you can accomplish using routine methods.

Among the routine methods are deception, betrayal, artificial crises, bubble and burst economic cycles, engineered conflicts and above all never hesitating to finance wars to get what you want; genocide is a legitimate means. As Henry Kissinger put it, when America betrayed the Kurds and was enthusiastically supporting Saddam Hussein, "You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs". It's really just a matter of thinking big, and not giving a damn about anyone else but you and your friends and your shared power. These people have a philosophy: if we weren't on top, someone else would be. Typical gangster reasoning.

World War II and the consolidation of American hegemony

WWI had been such a successful project that planning began immediately for a grander sequel, another giant step toward a new world order. In the early 1920's, still in the days of the Weimar Republic, a team of Krupp engineers were secretly tasked with a project: come up with designs for a line of military equipment suitable for a war twenty years from now. Thus were conceived the advanced weapons that served the Reich so well when the time came. Even though Germany was destitute, and treaty-bound not to rearm, someone knew, and told Krupp, that all this would change and within the designated timeframe.

There were two primary elite objectives for the inter-war years: collecting the WWI debts, and creating the conditions for a larger- scale war that would consolidate America's hegemonic role in world affairs. As in WWI, the plan would be to get others to do the hard work, and for the yanks to come in when most of the fighting was over, pick up all the marbles, and score the points for victory. And once again, the banking elite would be financing the war (as it turns out, all sides) and raking in profits beyond measure.

Ongoing destitution in Europe was useful for two reasons: it maximized debt repayment, and it created the conditions in which elites could socially engineer the reconstruction process. Destitute people are likely to accept whatever crumbs of hope are thrown their way. When Mussolini came along, with his vision of fascism, elites saw a man who could 'instill the discipline' necessary to enable debt repayment. He was promptly funded by the Anglo-American bankers.

Mussolini's fascist ideas resonated with ideas popular among American elites. Eugenics, for example, including the killing or sterilizing of "undesirables", was a cause promoted by Rockefeller, Ford, and many others. And the primary tenet of fascism,the individual is subservient to the needs of the state is music to the ears of ruthless elites everywhere, and in particular to our friendly banking elites.

Hitler was a project of the Anglo-American bankers. His charismatic brilliance was noticed early, and his Mein Kampf served as an effective marketing brochure for himself: here was a man determined to do exactly what the financial elite would love to see happen he wanted to invade and decimate the anti-capitalist Soviet Union. His rise to power was funded largely through the auspices of the Anglo- American bankers, and immense profits were made by investing in the German rearmament process. And he was good about debt repayments.

Germany fighting Russia, that was a good start for the next war project. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, Japan was looming as a new power. In 1905 she had bettered Russia in the Russo-Japanese war and she was rapidly industrializing. Japan had imperialist aspirations and this fit perfectly into elite planning. Japan against China, and Germany against Russia, was precisely the kind of global war that elites, comfortable in New York, would be happy to fight, and win. Many a dollar was made investing in Japan's imperialist adventures, and selling them supplies and equipment, prior to Pearl Harbor.

Meanwhile, in the USA, there were profits and gains of other kinds to be made during the inter-war years. First came the bubble, aka the roaring twenties. Everyone and his cousin was playing the market. Everything was going up, as carefully stage managed by the new Federal Reserve financial autocracy. With a strong economy, and all that cash coming in from debt repayments, the bubble was easy to manage. Lots of people made a bundle, but the biggest bundles were stashed away by those at the top who financed the episode. The house always wins.

Next came the consolidation phase, aka the Great Depression. If America was to emerge from the next war project as global hegemon, the important thing was to own as much of America as possible. By comparison, current profits were secondary. And the most convenient way to buy up American assets was to create a depression, whereby everything would be on the market at fire-sale prices. Elementary, my dear Watson.

All of these threads wove together perfectly as WWII began. The masses of people in Europe and Asia were engaged in murdering one another, and destroying one another's countries, while the USA continued to stay out of the fray, and the Anglo-American banking elite was profiting from its investments and loans to all sides of the conflicts. America's entry into the war was carefully delayed, coming just in time to determine the outcome, but after much of the fighting had already occurred. In order to facilitate this delay, the virtues of neutrality were promoted in the mainstream media right up until Pearl Harbor, despite considerable grassroots anti-fascist sentiment.

When the right time came for entry, banking-agent Roosevelt initiated a series of provocations against Japan, designed to force them to attack. The Japanese codes had been broken, the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor was known, and the valuable aircraft carriers were put safely out to sea. Out-of-date ships were left as sacrificial lambs, eg the Arizona. Day of Infamy indeed. By such an arranged incident, the neutrality propaganda could be instantly reversed, and a declaration of war readily obtained from a neutralist-minded Congress. Many of them pacifists yesterday, the young men of America were now all lining up to enlist. So easy, when you pull all the strings, to turn a whole nation around on a dime.

"If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances." Harry S. Truman, New York Times, June 24, 1941

Even after declaring war on Japan and Germany, America participated only marginally, with a holding action in the Pacific, a troop buildup in the British isles, and a bombing campaign against the Reich. The real fighting was happening in China and on the Eastern Front of the German campaign. America was happy for the fighting to go on, as long as a big winner didn't emerge, a potential threat to US hegemony. Every day the fighting continued, the bankers were profiting from the financing, and potential rivals to America were being weakened.

Only when Germany was defeated at Stalingrad, and the huge Russian army began advancing westward, did America finally commit masses of ground troops to combat. There was no need to defeat Hitler; Stalin was taking care of that business on the Eastern Front, where 80% of the German divisions were fighting. The task of the American troops was to race eastward to halt the advance of Russia as quickly as possible. Much to the consternation of Stalin, after the allies landed in Italy, the yanks allowed three more German divisions to transfer unmolested from Italy to the Eastern Front, as one way of slowing down the Russian advance. Once again betrayal, this time of ally Russia.

The WWII project achieved all of its objectives admirably. While having fought only marginally, and suffered negligible casualties in comparison with the other major combatants the US emerged with an intact infrastructure, 40% of the world's wealth and industrial capacity, control of the seven seas, a monopoly on atomic weapons, strategic footholds in the Middle East oil sheikdoms, and general popular acclaim as the heroic champion of democracy. Quite naturally, the world's eyes turned to Washington for leadership in shaping the postwar world.

And America was ready with a blueprint. The bankers had selected a committee, from their Council on Foreign Relations, and sent it over to the White House to design the postwar architecture. America was now secured as a hegemonic base of operations, more viable for that role than Britain had been, and it was time to move forward with the next phase of the new-world-order project. Thus were launched, promptly after the war ended, the Bretton Woods globalist institutions the UN, IMF, and World Bank the early foundation stones for an eventual one-world government.

Note to the reader: In my harsh description of America's participation in WWII, I in no way mean to dishonor the brave men and women who fought and sacrificed in that war as GI's. They were not deceiving or betraying, they were fighting with all their hearts for freedom. They were as much the victims of elite games as were all the others who lost their lives.

The short American Century: preparing the world to accept global governance

The WWII project was, like the first war project, a remarkable success for the banking elites. Again, as before, the next stage of the larger new-world-order project was promptly set in motion. With its hegemonic position, America would serve as an ideal base of operations for this next stage, but a global American Empire was not to be the final outcome. America was to be used and betrayed, like Britain before it, and this time the plan called, and still calls, for a world government to be installed, making the whole Earth into a base of operations, a private fiefdom, to be owned and ruled directly by the banking elite.

The unfolding of this third phase of the new-world-order project took about six decades, and as we lived through it we saw what seemed to be many surprising and unpredictable episodes. However, if we step back and look at the big picture, the key elements of the project become clear. The following objectives have all been achieved, and they were all carefully orchestrated to reach their conclusions at about the same time, which turned out to be the end of 2008:

the rise and fall of America as hegemonic imperial power the preservation of American military supremacy as its only major asset the universal destabilization of localized economic systems a worldwide extended boom-bust cycle, ending with most of the world destitute and hopelessly in debt

In the final section of this article we will examine how these conditions are currently being exploited, under the charismatic and deceptive leadership of banking-agent Barak Obama, to bring about the final installation of the New World Order. In this section, we'll briefly review how each of these objectives was systematically achieved.

As it was in the heyday of the British Empire, the interests of banking elites and nationalist-minded elites (in America this time) were more or less aligned as the postwar era began. A grand campaign of imperialist operations in the Global South served both their interests. With a policy of containment with respect to the communist world, and of Pax Americana with respect to Europe precluding Europe from becoming a military competitor America was able to maintain military hegemony in the "free world" and use its forces to achieve direct imperialist objectives in the Global South, without needing to directly confront other major powers.

America employed a much more refined and efficient model for imperial management than the British Empire had ever been able to achieve. Besides avoiding direct military conflicts with major competitors, Washington spurned the burden and expense of colonial administration, and instead focused on regime-change operations as a way of keeping small nations under control. The installation of corrupt dictators was the preferred model (eg, the Shah, Noriega, Marcos, Saddam, etc ad nauseum), who once installed were encouraged to enrich themselves and their cronies as they suppressed their populations, so that investors from the North could exploit the nation's resources and workers.

Eventually such dictators would always outlive their usefulness. Either they would lose control of rebellious populations (eg Marcos), or they would get uppity and start defending their national interests (eg Noriega). When such a time came, the elite-controlled mass media would suddenly discover that there was a ruthless dictator loose in the world, and the successor regime change would be widely welcomed as a 'victory for democracy'. The faces would change, and perhaps some reforms would be implemented, but in the end there would be another proxy in place doing whatever needs to be done to facilitate exploitation by foreign investors. Such has been the nature of the free world era in the South.

A critical underpinning of the Cold War and the Pax Americana regime was the mythology of a communist threat. In fact Russia posed no real threat, not militarily nor in terms of covert subversion. Russia had been devastated by the war, and the last thing it wanted was to get involved in another one. It had been invaded by Europe time and again, WWI being only the most recent example, and its main concerns were security and national development. Russia tried time and again to normalize relations with the West, and to pursue large-scale nuclear disarmament, but was each time rebuffed.

With the destruction caused by WWI, and with the West again exhibiting hostility, Russia had little choice but to hold on to Eastern Europe as a protective barrier against another attack. Certainly Eastern Europeans were not happy with clumsy, autocratic Russian rule, but they were not being economically exploited as was the Southern "free world". Living conditions in Eastern Europe were typically better than in the Soviet Union itself, and better than in the South. It's "satellites" were an economic and political burden to the Soviets, an investment not in imperialism but in national security. Now that Eastern Europe has been separated from Russia, and Washington is putting missiles and radar installation there and extending NATO, it is clear that Russia's attempt to maintain a buffer made perfect defensive sense.

The "communist threat" provided a handy excuse for US interventionism, for maintaining a strong US military, and for the ongoing development of America's nuclear arsenal. Equally important, enabled by the fiction that Russia threatened the entire West, America was able to portray itself as the 'friend and protector of Europe', justify the economic isolation of the socialist block, and justify as well the Pax Americana regime in the "free world".

But as in Britain before, the interests of nationalism and of the banking elite were not to remain aligned. Even as America continued to extend its hegemony in a geopolitical and military sense, the seeds of economic decline were being planted by the bankers. The first step was to start moving manufacturing overseas, leading to the de- industrialization of America and yielding increased profits to investors and transnational corporations. After that Reagan was ushered into power, bringing with him a full scale assault on the stability of the American national economy. The program of economic destabilization was then extended globally, as the globalization project.

Globalization, with its deregulation of corporations and international finance, has certainly been a profit bonanza for international banks and transnational corporations. It's deeper purpose, however, has been to destroy localized economic systems and to make everyone dependent on the global marketplace for essential goods and services. Not only has self-sufficiency been undermined for nations everywhere, but mutual-benefit bilateral trade arrangements have been largely eliminated as well.

Under the hocus-pocus doctrine of free trade, a situation has been created where, to the maximum extent possible, all goods and services are generated in the lowest-waged parts of the world, and then sold on the global market to the highest bidders. Not only does this maximize the profits of the middlemen (the bankers and transnational corporations), and drive wages down everywhere, but it also results in market prices that are largely beyond the reach of the Global South. Under globalization, we've seen the most draconian system of imperialism every imposed on the South, and it's an imperialism managed by the bankers (via their globalist institutions) directly, not by an imperialist nation, as in the days of earlier empires.

Just as with the Native Americans and the Australian Aborigines in the 1800's, the whole population of the South is now considered to be 'in the way' of ongoing economic development and the accelerated exploitation of Southern resources. A program of wholesale genocide, on a scale much larger than the Holocaust, is now underway in the South, facilitated by economic and social destabilization, in turn facilitated by "free trade" and by covert interventions. The campaign for biofuel development, which makes little or no sense from an energy perspective, has the main (and intended) consequence of accelerating the program of genocide by substantially increasing the price of food on the global market. Keep this in mind when next you listen to banking-agent Al Gore's inspiring speeches about "energy independence".

Of all the advantages the banking elites enjoy from this globalized and unregulated economic system, the most strategic is the discretionary power they have to arbitrarily manipulate global affairs. And of the tools available to them under this regime, the most potent is the ability to manipulate high-level finance. By such means Japan and the Southeast "Tigers" were cut down to size, and any number of other boom-bust cycles have been engineered over the past several decades (eg Brazil, Argentina).

It is this ability to manipulate high-level finance that has been used to create the climactic conclusion of this short American Century: the engineered global banking collapse and the ensuing general panic. This manufactured panic was then exploited to push through the disastrous bailout schemes that are transferring insolvency from the banks to the governments. By intentionally committing economic suicide, the bankers have managed to kill not their banking system, but the economic viability of nations worldwide.

From a big-picture perspective, the entire period since the end of WWII can be seen as one big boom-bust cycle. It brought us the greatest period of sustained economic growth the world has ever seen, and in the end, with the engineered collapse and bailouts, all the marbles are now being picked up by the banking elites. Game over.

Obama and the marketing of subservience: installing the New World Order

As with the two world-war projects, the short-American-Century project was a complete success, in preparing the ground for a global system of governance by, of, and for the elite bankers. Again, the main elements of this penultimate sub-project:

the rise and fall of America as hegemonic imperial power the preservation of American military supremacy as its only major asset the universal destabilization of localized economic systems a worldwide extended boom-bust cycle, ending with most of the world destitute and hopelessly in debt

To be more precise, the destitution and hopelessness are only now beginning to unfold. We've seen the first wave of business failures and personal insolvencies, but many more will follow domino fashion. The amount of the losses the banks have suffered have still not been disclosed, and massive credit-card defaults are yet to come, as the ranks of the unemployed continue to soar globally.

The classic, time-tested way to implement big social-engineering changes is to first create a crisis, and then in the ensuing panic to offer a solution the 'solution' being the original goal of the entire exercise. We've seen this formula used to facilitate the installation of the Federal Reserve system, the passage of the bailout schemes, the entry of America into WWII, etc. On a still-grander scale, it is the formula that will lead to the creation of a one-world government.

The problem in this case is the collapse of national economies and the global financial system; the solution will be a Global Central Bank in sum, a global-scale replay of the Federal Reserve project. Banking- agent Gordon Brown seems to be the one who has been assigned the task of moving this agenda forward. In a recent article in BBC News he begins framing the context of the debate to come.

Around 700 M-16 rifle bullets were found yesterday in a package abandoned by the roadside in the Senyuva area of the Turkish capital, believed to have been dumped in panic by individuals related to Ergenekon.

The bullets were taken to the Ankara Police Department for examination. Twenty-three bullets were also found in Izmir on Thursday, and seven hand grenades and other bombs were discovered abandoned in a similar fashion in Ankara on Wednesday.

Unidentified individuals have been abandoning weapons and ammunition in isolated locations across the country since the discovery of munitions buried underground early in January after raids on houses of various suspects who were wanted in connection with Ergenekon, a clandestine gang charged with plotting to overthrow the government.

In the meantime, Ankara police yesterday detained two men in the Yenimahalle and Keçiören districts. The men were reportedly taken into custody after they were found to be carrying hand grenades. The suspects were later transferred to the police departments counterterrorism unit...;...

Thousands of people from various segments of society on Saturday gathered at Tünel Square in Istanbul's Taksim area to protest the Ergenekon gang, charged with plotting a coup d'etat, in an event organized jointly by the Young Civilians and the No to Coups Platform.

Lawyers in their courtroom robes supported the demonstration demanding democracy, freedom, human rights and the supremacy of law. The protest started at 4 p.m.

Many intellectuals, writers, artists and journalists also supported the march. Slogans demanding resistance against military influence and intervention were chanted. People held up posters against illegal and clandestine units inside the military and state bureaucracy trying to rule the country from behind the scenes.

Journalist Ümit Kivanç also joined yesterday's protest. He said the Ergenekon investigation should be continued until the very end. Modern dance performer and choreographer Zeynep Tanbay said, "Sixty-one percent of the people are against Ergenekon. People have woken up. Rightists, leftists, religious right, atheists, all of them. People want to face the truth."

Well-known sociologist Ferhat Kentel said attempts to water down the investigation would be in vain.

'latest suspects are from the special operations unit of the police '

Most of the latest suspects are from the special operations unit of the police, the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Istanbul says. The unit was set up to fight against terror in the 1980s - and was mainly active against Kurdish separatists. Human rights groups have documented many unsolved murders and disappearances from that time, she adds. The unit's former leader, Ibrahim Shahin, was arrested earlier this month, and a map found at his house led police to a cache of weapons buried in a forest. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7845375.stm

The Bullingdon Club - Nat Rothchild's smack Crazed Bully Boys

This morning's Broadcasting House programme on Radio 4 heard from a fascinating witness to a Bullingdon Club initiation. Here it is - 3m 25s long

http://www.bilderberg-mirror.org.uk/BullingdonClubIanRogers.mp3

That audio was posted here at UK Indymedia, now not just hidden but deleted

Also... The Mail On Sunday has an extraordinary revelation that the photo above has been photoshopped! Who has been removed???

Two faces are mysteriously missing from this picture of the Bullingdon Club

Who doctored the toffs?

I bring you the Mystery of the Missing Toff. Who is doctoring pictures of the Bullingdon Club? And why?

By a mysterious process, almost all photographs of this unlovely society for rich, young drunkards have now been suppressed, which suits David Cameron very well, since he is in so many of them, looking so very rich and arrogant. I have seen them.

But last week a new study of the lads appeared, featuring George Osborne and his (now former) friend Nat Rothschild. To the left of the middle, theres a mysterious gap where somebody ought to be standing but isnt. Odder still, theres a patch of shirt-front and waistcoat there, with no person attached.

Odder yet, Mr Rothschilds right trouser leg has a white lapel, not usual even under the bizarre dress code of the Bullingdon.

On close examination, the three seated figures at the front appear to have been stuck in place after being moved from somewhere else.

If you know whats going on, please let me know.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1080604/PETER-HITCHENS-Not-Kim-Jong-II-live-visit-Mandy.html

Great rant from Peter Hitchens

So here we see our new, one-party elite in all its lack of glory, interchangeable careerists from fake Tory and fake Labour front benches, floating around in lukewarm seas of money with Russian oligarchs, hedge-fund millionaires, foreign media magnates and who knows what else?

This, the Corfu set, is your choice at the next Election. You can have one thing, or you can have the same thing. If you want anything else, you can get stuffed.

These individuals have no interest in you, or in this country, nor much idea of how the rest of us live. It is centuries since Britain was ruled by a set of people who have so little in common with those they govern.

What theyre really embarrassed about this week is that you might realise that this is what they are like.

Peter Mandelson is less troubled than George Osborne because nobody would be surprised by anything he did, or anyone he met. If Peter turned up in North Korea having cocktails with Kim Jong Il, it would be Kims reputation that got damaged.

But it is much worse for the Tories. They have spent millions (raised how, exactly?) on buying themselves a nice new image. Now they fear that the whole lot has gone down the plumbing.

They tried so hard to avoid this. David Cameron even had a pseudo-holiday in Cornwall, where he posed for pictures, before heading off for his real holiday in Yachtworld, where he wasnt so keen to be seen.

How it makes me yearn for the much-mocked old days of the grouse moors, and even Harold Wilsons expeditions to the Scilly Isles.

Our political leaders may not have been much good but at least they were ours, not the trashy flotsam of the global elite.

Nest of vipers, more accurately, exactly exemplified by the Bullingdon/Bilderberg/Banker/Mafia Corfu set

I like that story about Osbourne's given Bullingdon nickname being 'Oik', because his baronetcy background wasn't quite posh enough, and his initiative ritual - being held upside down by established club members and asked "What are you?", his head being repeatedly banged on the ground for each incorrect reply, until he came with the correct answer

The Hell Fire Clubs: Sex, Satanism and Secret Societies

The Hell Fire Clubs scandalized eighteenth-century English society. Rumours of their orgies, recruitment of prostitutes, extensive libraries of erotica, extreme rituals, and initiation ceremonies circulated widely at the time, only to become more sensational as generations passed. This thoroughly researched book sets aside the exaggerated gossip about the secret Hell Fire Clubs and brings to light the first accurate portrait of their membership (including John Wilkes, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Prince of Wales), beliefs, activities, and the reasons for their proliferation, first in the British Isles and later in America, possibly under the auspices of Benjamin Franklin. Hell Fire Clubs operated under a variety of titles, but all attracted similar members - mainly upper-class men with abundant leisure and the desire to shock society. The book explores the social and economic context in which the clubs emerged and flourished; their various phases, which first involved violence as an assertion of masculinity, then religious blasphemy, and later sexual indulgence; and the counter-movement that eventually suppressed them. Uncovering the facts behind the Hell Fire legends, this book also opens a window on the rich contradictions of the Enlightenment period.

THE HELL-FIRE CLUBS BY EVELYN LORD (Yale, £19.99)

NOT, of course, that one approves of the ravishing of virgins or devil worship, but it's still something of a let-down to find the goings-on at these notorious 18th-century gatherings so comparatively sedate.

They weren't exactly wholesome, Evelyn Lord shows, yet younger members of the royal family and future statesmen joined in these secret societies whose presiding figures were not Satan but Bacchus, Priapus and (to a genuinely alarming extent) Onan. So

we're talking  a bit bathetically  David Cameron, Boris Johnson and the Bullingdon rather than Aleister Crowley and his Golden Dawn. But it's still fascinating to see from Lord's absorbing study how integral this sort of institutionalised decadence became to the fabric of the state at a crucial moment in its formation. "Dour" or not, Scotland was not to miss out: there's some intriguing discussion here of Fife's "Beggar's Benison" and of Edinburgh's "Knights of the Mortar and the Cape".

10Oct08 - Bilderberg exclusive - A False Flag Presidential Assassination?

THE NEW 9/11

DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT:

Why the possible Assassination of George W. Bush will be an inside job.

https://secure.gn.apc.org/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3007

By Timucin Leflef,

bilderberg.org

28th August 2008

Last updated: 8th October 2008

Over the next few weeks, there is a grave possibility that President Bush will be assassinated as part of a joint military/intelligence operation designed to further expedite the formation of a New World Order. If the blame is put on an Iranian patsy, it will politically destabilize the United States and provide a perfect opportunity for Vice-President Dick Cheney to step in as interim president, declare martial law and ignite a war with Iran before the elections. According to reports, the CIA have already been in Iran since 2007 setting up the pieces for the next war. Consider the following:

 Iran is the only Middle-Eastern country aside from Iraq that has threatened to sell their oil in Euros and circumvent buying the United States several-trillion dollar national debt which the Saudis do thanks to a plan set in motion by Bilderberg luminary Henry Kissinger. According to author and lecturer Lindsey Williams, notable figures in the oil industry have recently given the Iranian government an ultimatum to sell their oil in U.S. dollars, or else. (i)

 The Bilderbergers require a new war to continue destabilising the Middle East (create a problem), plunder their vast resources and forge a New World Order (offer the solution) in its wake. Bilderberger Wolfowitzs PNAC document Rebuilding Americas Defenses Abroad clearly shows Iran as their next intended target. (ii)

 They have hiked up the price of oil to give the USA the incentive to invade Iran. At their 2007 meeting, the Bilderberg Group announced they would increase the price of oil from $3.50 a gallon to between $4 - $5. This is now giving the United States the incentive to pillage Iran for its huge oil reserves, even though there is evidence that Alaska has enough reserves to last them another 200 years. (iii)

 People will not fall for the "WMD" lie a second time, so a majority consent will have to be manufactured with yet another false-flag terrorist operation  a New 9/11 - in order to justify the next invasion.

 A presidential assassination fits the bill this time round. It will politically destabilise the country, create a state of National Emergency and provide the incentive for (1) the Declaration of Martial Law, (2) the incentive for a new war with the alleged Muslim aggressors, and (3) the excuse to control the US population using subdermally implantable RFID microchips under the false pretext of national security - as was proposed at the 2008 Bilderberg meeting. (iv)

 Day by day, a deliberate hatred is being fostered towards President Bush, even though it is evident he's a puppet of the CFRs Dick Cheney and Bush Sr. and ultimately their controllers within the Bilderberg Group.

 Bob Woodward, assistant managing editor for The Washington Post, was recently chastised for revealing that both Dick Cheney (CFR) and Bush Jr. were being advised by Dr. Kissinger.(v)

 Bush Jr. is the only one in his cabinet who is NOT a member of the CFR even though most presidents, including Bush Sr. have been in the past. Was this done intentionally to keep him in the dark about CFR policy? Another notable exception was President John F. Kennedy, who was also assassinated. (vi)

 According to reports, within the last year Bush has been calling for a new 9/11 which will be ten times worse than the previous one.

 He has recently visited Middle Eastern countries lecturing about human rights, thus giving the appearance of taunting Muslims, inciting further hatred and giving the incentive for "Al CIA-da" to attack.

 Were being told regularly on TV that he has been the least popular President ever.

 A book has recently been published: The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder further compounding this justified notion.(vii)

 In July, the Israelis averted an alleged "Al Qaeda" plan to target Bush's helicopter.(viii)

 He was greeted with angry protests in London last June when 2,000 people protested in Parliament Square against his wishes to attack Iran.(ix)

 According to former Naval Intelligence officer Milton William Cooper, it was the Bilderberg Groups Policy Committee that gave the order to assassinate President Kennedy (x). This was at a time when he threatened to split the Central Intelligence Agency up for lying about the Bay of Pigs invasion. It is rather curious therefore, that the Bilderberg Group met at Washington D.C. this year. What do they have in store for the President this time round?

 The Death of a President docudrama - made in 2006 - paints an eerily credible portrayal of what may happen "2 years in the future" when Bush is assassinated during a protest march.(xi)

 Several other presidential assassination movies have since cropped up: Shooter, Vantage Point, and the remake of The Manchurian Candidate. The first Manchurian Candidate movie was released shortly before Kennedys assassination.

 None of them show a black president, so an Obama hit is less likely at this time, as would be the motives for such an action by an alleged Muslim aggressor.

 Furthermore, Hollywood movies such as 300 foster support for a war with Iran (Persia) and can be likened to pre-war propaganda by the military-industrial complex. The TV drama Band of Brothers was released just two days before September the 11th.(xii) Now theyre working on a Band of Brothers 2 (The Pacific) which shall be released in 2009. (xiii)

 Members of Satanic Orders such as the Skull & Bones are involved in sacrificial rituals, some of which may involve their own members.

 According to The History Channel documentary Secret Societies, Bush's Skull & Bones Society nickname is 'Temporary'(xiv)

 Bush is a pawn of the Bilderberg Group through the Skull & Bones Society and the CFR members in his cabinet. Pawns are often sacrificed in games of chess for a better chance of winning the overall game.

 Bilderberg policy takes 2 years to come into full effect within the country they meet.

 Bilderberg met in D.C. this year, which means a large scale event may occur in the USA quite soon. A year after their meeting in Turkey, there has already been a successful "Al CIA-da" terror attack. And leaders of the terrorist organisation 'Ergenokon' were recently imprisoned for planning a military coup to oust the Turkish Prime Minister by 2009 (within 2 years of the Bilderberg meeting).

 Last year it was reported that Kissinger Associates was advising presidential hopefuls to take a pro-war stance against Iran if they wanted to succeed.

 Bilderberger Zbigniew Brzezinski is currently Obamas advisor.(xv)

 Obama is being touted as a favourite by the Bilderbergers who invited both him and Hillary Clinton to their 2008 meeting.(xvi)

 Bush declared at a recent meeting with the Israeli Parliament that he would start a war with Iran before his term is out and that he plans for Barak Obama to shoulder the burden of this war.(xvii)

 In Alex Joness documentary Endgame (2007), researcher Daniel Estulin stated that Bilderberg were not going to start a war with Iran.(xviii). This may very well be disinformation. Veteran sleuth Jim Tucker contends they have been discussing an attack for several years now. In Bilderberg 2007, it was reported that the Turkish delegates unanimously stated that if there was to be a war with Iran, Turkey would have nothing to do with it. This lead the Bilderberg Group to reply that a war with Iran would not involve ground troops, but an aerial bombing campaign. (xix) This shows they have clearly been considering it for quite some time.

 Such disinformation may have been deliberately disseminated to placate the many European Bilderberg Attendees so that the Policy Committee may wash their hands of responsibility if it were to arise eventually. I can only imagine Dr. Kissinger stating Well, Dick Cheney started it all. We had nothing to do it so that he may continue with his deathly New World Order policies and avoid being reprimanded for future war-crimes. It will not be the first time this strategist and mega-manipulator has started a war, washed his hands of responsibility and carried off the hypocritical title of being a diplomat. (xx)

 Some observers consdier that Bush Jr. is nothing more than Dr. Kissingers puppet. At the time when Kissinger was National Security Advisor to a confused President Nixon, both he and General Alexander Haig were the true acting president(s). (xxi)

 There is also the possibility of engineering a "Civil War" which will give an incentive for UN forces to invade the United States in order to "keep the peace". This may be why certain Illuminati-backed "freedom fighters" are being kept alive, to be used as "leaders" of the revolt, especially ones who aid the "let's hate Bush" campaign in line with the Bilderberg agenda. If Bush were assassinated, it would also give them the excuse to round up many dissenters as well.

 Kissinger declared at the 1992 Bilderberg meeting: Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government. (xxi)

This quote could very well have suggested today's CIA-trained and controlled Al Qaeda terrorists, a probable Civil War, as well as a false-flag alien invasion scenario staged with the aid of NASA to convince the nations of the world to give up their sovereignty and band together under a one-world military dictatorship (see NASAs Project Bluebeam) (xxiii). For the New World Order to emerge, all it may take this time is for Bush to take a dive in the final round of his presidency.

So when CNN, Fox News and other such news outlets declare: Ladies and Gentlemen, the President has just been shot!, please understand it is most likely part of the Global Elite's strategy to further remove our powers, our freedoms and our sovereignty and expedite the coming together of a One World fascist military dictatorship run by the power-hungry elite. Lets hope this particular scenario, which I certainly dont advocate, will not become an eventuality.

My Top Ten Conspiracy Facts

8th September 2008

As if the War ofTerror is some kind of 'accident' or in any way a 'natural' reaction to radical Islam - here are my present top tencopnspiracy facts

1. the combination of defence industries, the Military Industrial Complex, which conspire for world war

2. the NATO 'defensive' alliance which was started by Nazis

3. the Bilderberg Group which is organised by freemasons and was started by Nazis

4. the collaberation of the Bush family with Nazis in WWII

5. the freemasons who now put almost all western leaders in power - documented by ex masons

6. the conglomeration fo the western world's mass media which is now almost all owned by 6 massive companies

7. the fascinating chequered history of the sect of the Illuminati who are proven to have infiltrated freemasonry

8. the erroneous idea turned into a respectable discipline by ruthless people that there are 'too many people in the world' and they must be wiped out

9. the global money 'Bretton Woods' system which is a scam run for private profit

10. the theft of the land from the people over the centuries

11. the illigitimacy of the present British monarchy

12. the still unpunished murder of Princess Diana

13. systematic election fixing in the West, particularly in the USA

Communique from family court fugitive Natalie Bracht and her five daughters

Natalie Bracht is still believed to be on the run with her five daughters and expresses her fears here that she may be 'suicided'. In other words that some intelligence service or other 'higher' group than Northumbria police may know exactly where she is, playing her a sick sort of cat and mouse game. Whether she deserves to be accused of being a potential child murderer as Sunderland social services have done... and separated from her five children we shall probably never know due to the chilling secrecy of the Family Courts and the High Court judge that issued the Recovery Order for the children. Much of what Northumbria police have had to say about her case, such as her first husband denying that he is a Mossad nuclear scientist when Natalie said her second husband was, does not add up. This communique was written on 23rd June 2008 before the High Court Recovery Order was issued and the photograph of Natalie and four of the girls taken in Shoreditch on 4th June 2008. All who have met her whilst she's been 'on the run' seem to agree that the only real threat to the children comes from injustices of Sunderland Social Services and the High Court. Such as the exclusion by said Social Services of all and any supportive professional voices from Natalies' case conferences.

To The Outside World

by Natalie Bracht - Monday 23rd June 2008

This is a response to the missing appeal in the British media as well as the poster campaign to find the missing mum and her five daughters from Sunderland

Now, in the beginning, my name is Natalie Bracht and Im the mother of five lovely kids. Im 33 and my children are between 5 and 13.

We are not only Germans but also British citizens. Not that this is important to us but to correct errors in the press and police records.

We have been reading the Northumbria police missing appeal in many different newspapers, from television news and the BBC website

We found ourselves described as people on the run.

On the run from whom? ...well they dont explain that part, do they?

Honestly they dont say anything, apart from that we are missing and that the kids havent been to school for more than a week and have been separated from their friends and that this is certainly not good for them.

hmmm

And that they dont know where we are.

hmmm

And that they are concerned about the safety of my children.

hmmm

Now, I dont believe that anybody, especially the so-called counterparts who are working very closely with the police - are concerned about the safety of my children at all.

[Natalie describes the secret network of those she believes are harassing her as the counterparts]

Because Im described as a person with a personality disorder and emotional and narcissistic behaviour. In short, totally mad and mental, according to a so-called independent psychiatrist - who has been organised through one of the counterparts.

Im also not aware of the mental history they claim for me.

So why do they claim?

Now, just in case you are mental enough outside there, you might understand.

This is also a message to all the thousands of parents in this country whose children have been wrongly taken away by Britains corruptly installed family court system.

And as you have read before Im mad and mental. I say that their power to do so is coming from a very well known society in this country.

[Natalie mentioned freemasonry in the previous hour long interview I recorded with her which is available on the web  ed.]

Anyway, I have no intention of letting them use my five daughters and therefore we are on a run.

Now, facing the mastermind of a surveillance system in London I was, we can say forced, to use some camouflage for me and my daughters.

And yes, we have been successful.

Yes, we also disconnected our mobile.

And we didnt use our bank account.

All because Im so mad?

We changed our outfits - not because of a personality disorder - but simply to find a way to keep the kids safe.

I hereby congratulate the reporter of The Sun who put me down as a Muslim mother and Kings Cross and hiding and so on - well this is The Sun.

I also understand that in the media it is believed that I have visited the central mosque in Regents Park.

Is it confirmed?

Now, let me help you, I have in fact visited the ICCUK many times in the last 2 years.

And Im sure this is well known to the counterparts.

Taking into account that everything that goes in or out of Regents Park mosque is miraculously shared immediately

So why is it that certain people cannot be touched by the law?

Well, I have to admit that I often ask my self, and there are more and more people who ask the same question: What happens to all the children who are put through forced adoption process?

Why an increasing number of kids? In certain parts of Britain mostly white children, very young.

Hmmmm?

Why is it so easy to take away children from their parents?

What is the purpose of so much secrecy in the family courts?

And what is happening inside them?

Why are the parents silenced, and threatened to be imprisoned when they start to talk about this?

Is this why most people dont know this goes on?

Talk to Journalist Brian Morgan in Cardiff about the effect of this on his freedom of speech.

What kind of children are they interested in?

And who are they?

Well, coming back to my kids, they had a good attendance at school and good school reports. They were a pleasure to teach.

No emotional difficulties at all.

Clean, well fed, happy, interested, according to the school reports.

But social services say I am emotionally abusing them because I said bad things to my children about social services in Sunderland.

I see.

Well, there was also a very dangerous way of interviewing my children through social services or counterparts who were using my children to get information about my family.

Passed on to different agencies in Britain.

And I dont like my children being interrogated.

I call this emotional abuse of them and I also think I have to protect them from this.

Maybe because Im a narcissistic mother?

And Im also mad because I wanted my childrens fingerprints to be removed from their database.

For anyone who hasnt heard about this: in some schools they take the childrens fingerprints instead of their name when the kids want to borrow a book out of the library.

Now I dont like that.

Because Im having a paranoid world view according to the independent psychiatrist who is connected to a certain community in Britain. Incidentally, the same as most of the other people who are making allegations against us. [freemasonry again?  ed.]

Now, the connection between this community and the media as well as the court systems and Labour Friends is by now known, to a certain extent.

Yes, we are in hiding.

No, we will not be silenced.

Yes, I have a connection to people who know about these things.

Yes, they are sheltering us.

And the number of people affected by this is increasing

And the number of adoptions as well.

Now, they have destroyed my existence.

Dirtied my name,

We were facing emotional harassment, all of us.

Through the British state institutions

No more freedom at all.

My family lost all our privacy, absolutely no liberty left.

A normal live was made impossible for us. We were treated like criminals.

Until today.

Now we may be surprised to see what is coming next. Looking at the present political climate maybe are developing into suspects. Or suicide victims. Or whatever.

Names on a list in the controlled media systems.

For now though I would like to say that it is a very relaxing time we are having without these people around us.

The children are enjoying themselves, doing all the things they like to do without the feeling that they are being watched or immediately reported.

I also would like to use the opportunity, and the kids as well, to send greetings to my aunt in the Netherlands and to let her know we are fine and the kids are recovering from all this and are very happy.

Im also asking the German authorities to watch this case from a different view point.

Perhaps 60% of todays oil price is pure speculation

By F. William Engdahl

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8878

Global Research, May 2, 2008

The price of crude oil today is not made according to any traditional relation of supply to demand. Its controlled by an elaborate financial market system as well as by the four major Anglo-American oil companies. As much as 60% of todays crude oil price is pure speculation driven by large trader banks and hedge funds. It has nothing to do with the convenient myths of Peak Oil. It has to do with control of oil and its price. How?

First, the crucial role of the international oil exchanges in London and New York is crucial to the game. Nymex in New York and the ICE Futures in London today control global benchmark oil prices which in turn set most of the freely traded oil cargo. They do so via oil futures contracts on two grades of crude oilWest Texas Intermediate and North Sea Brent.

A third rather new oil exchange, the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME), trading Dubai crude, is more or less a daughter of Nymex, with Nymex President, James Newsome, sitting on the board of DME and most key personnel British or American citizens.

Brent is used in spot and long-term contracts to value as much of crude oil produced in global oil markets each day. The Brent price is published by a private oil industry publication, Platts. Major oil producers including Russia and Nigeria use Brent as a benchmark for pricing the crude they produce. Brent is a key crude blend for the European market and, to some extent, for Asia.

WTI has historically been more of a US crude oil basket. Not only is it used as the basis for US-traded oil futures, but it's also a key benchmark for US production.

The tail that wags the dog

All this is well and official. But how todays oil prices are really determined is done by a process so opaque only a handful of major oil trading banks such as Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley have any idea who is buying and who selling oil futures or derivative contracts that set physical oil prices in this strange new world of paper oil.

With the development of unregulated international derivatives trading in oil futures over the past decade or more, the way has opened for the present speculative bubble in oil prices.

Since the advent of oil futures trading and the two major London and New York oil futures contracts, control of oil prices has left OPEC and gone to Wall Street. It is a classic case of the tail that wags the dog.

A June 2006 US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report on The Role of Market Speculation in rising oil and gas prices, noted,  there is substantial evidence supporting the conclusion that the large amount of speculation in the current market has significantly increased prices.

What the Senate committee staff documented in the report was a gaping loophole in US Government regulation of oil derivatives trading so huge a herd of elephants could walk through it. That seems precisely what they have been doing in ramping oil prices through the roof in recent months.

The Senate report was ignored in the media and in the Congress.

The report pointed out that the Commodity Futures Trading Trading Commission, a financial futures regulator, had been mandated by Congress to ensure that prices on the futures market reflect the laws of supply and demand rather than manipulative practices or excessive speculation. The US Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) states, Excessive speculation in any commodity under contracts of sale of such commodity for future delivery . . . causing sudden or unreasonable fluctuations or unwarranted changes in the price of such commodity, is an undue and unnecessary burden on interstate commerce in such commodity.

Further, the CEA directs the CFTC to establish such trading limits as the Commission finds are necessary to diminish, eliminate, or prevent such burden. Where is the CFTC now that we need such limits?

They seem to have deliberately walked away from their mandated oversight responsibilities in the worlds most important traded commodity, oil.

Enron has the last laugh

As that US Senate report noted:

Until recently, US energy futures were traded exclusively on regulated exchanges within the United States, like the NYMEX, which are subject to extensive oversight by the CFTC, including ongoing monitoring to detect and prevent price manipulation or fraud. In recent years, however, there has been a tremendous growth in the trading of contracts that look and are structured just like futures contracts, but which are traded on unregulated OTC electronic markets. Because of their similarity to futures contracts they are often called futures look-alikes.

The only practical difference between futures look-alike contracts and futures contracts is that the look-alikes are traded in unregulated markets whereas futures are traded on regulated exchanges. The trading of energy commodities by large firms on OTC electronic exchanges was exempted from CFTC oversight by a provision inserted at the behest of Enron and other large energy traders into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 in the waning hours of the 106th Congress.

The impact on market oversight has been substantial. NYMEX traders, for example, are required to keep records of all trades and report large trades to the CFTC. These Large Trader Reports, together with daily trading data providing price and volume information, are the CFTCs primary tools to gauge the extent of speculation in the markets and to detect, prevent, and prosecute price manipulation. CFTC Chairman Reuben Jeffrey recently stated: The Commissions Large Trader information system is one of the cornerstones of our surveillance program and enables detection of concentrated and coordinated positions that might be used by one or more traders to attempt manipulation.

In contrast to trades conducted on the NYMEX, traders on unregulated OTC electronic exchanges are not required to keep records or file Large Trader Reports with the CFTC, and these trades are exempt from routine CFTC oversight. In contrast to trades conducted on regulated futures exchanges, there is no limit on the number of contracts a speculator may hold on an unregulated OTC electronic exchange, no monitoring of trading by the exchange itself, and no reporting of the amount of outstanding contracts (open interest) at the end of each day. 1

Then, apparently to make sure the way was opened really wide to potential market oil price manipulation, in January 2006, the Bush Administrations CFTC permitted the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the leading operator of electronic energy exchanges, to use its trading terminals in the United States for the trading of US crude oil futures on the ICE futures exchange in London  called ICE Futures.

Previously, the ICE Futures exchange in London had traded only in European energy commodities  Brent crude oil and United Kingdom natural gas. As a United Kingdom futures market, the ICE Futures exchange is regulated solely by the UK Financial Services Authority. In 1999, the London exchange obtained the CFTCs permission to install computer terminals in the United States to permit traders in New York and other US cities to trade European energy commodities through the ICE exchange.

The CFTC opens the door

Then, in January 2006, ICE Futures in London began trading a futures contract for

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, a type of crude oil that is produced and delivered in the United States. ICE Futures also notified the CFTC that it would be permitting traders in the United States to use ICE terminals in the United States to trade its new WTI contract on the ICE Futures London exchange. ICE Futures as well allowed traders in the United States to trade US gasoline and heating oil futures on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

Despite the use by US traders of trading terminals within the United States to trade US oil, gasoline, and heating oil futures contracts, the CFTC has until today refused to assert any jurisdiction over the trading of these contracts.

Persons within the United States seeking to trade key US energy commodities  US crude oil, gasoline, and heating oil futures  are able to avoid all US market oversight or reporting requirements by routing their trades through the ICE Futures exchange in London instead of the NYMEX in New York.

Is that not elegant? The US Government energy futures regulator, CFTC opened the way to the present unregulated and highly opaque oil futures speculation. It may just be coincidence that the present CEO of NYMEX, James Newsome, who also sits on the Dubai Exchange, is a former chairman of the US CFTC. In Washington doors revolve quite smoothly between private and public posts.

A glance at the price for Brent and WTI futures prices since January 2006 indicates the remarkable correlation between skyrocketing oil prices and the unregulated trade in ICE oil futures in US markets. Keep in mind that ICE Futures in London is owned and controlled by a USA company based in Atlanta Georgia.

In January 2006 when the CFTC allowed the ICE Futures the gaping exception, oil prices were trading in the range of $59-60 a barrel. Today some two years later we see prices tapping $120 and trend upwards. This is not an OPEC problem, it is a US Government regulatory problem of malign neglect.

By not requiring the ICE to file daily reports of large trades of energy commodities, it is not able to detect and deter price manipulation. As the Senate report noted, The CFTC's ability to detect and deter energy price manipulation is suffering from critical information gaps, because traders on OTC electronic exchanges and the London ICE Futures are currently exempt from CFTC reporting requirements. Large trader reporting is also essential to analyze the effect of speculation on energy prices.

The report added, ICE's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other evidence indicate that its over-the-counter electronic exchange performs a price discovery function -- and thereby affects US energy prices -- in the cash market for the energy commodities traded on that exchange.

Hedge Funds and Banks driving oil prices

In the most recent sustained run-up in energy prices, large financial institutions, hedge funds, pension funds, and other investors have been pouring billions of dollars into the energy commodities markets to try to take advantage of price changes or hedge against them. Most of this additional investment has not come from producers or consumers of these commodities, but from speculators seeking to take advantage of these price changes. The CFTC defines a speculator as a person who does not produce or use the commodity, but risks his or her own capital trading futures in that commodity in hopes of making a profit on price changes.

The large purchases of crude oil futures contracts by speculators have, in effect, created an

additional demand for oil, driving up the price of oil for future delivery in the same manner that additional demand for contracts for the delivery of a physical barrel today drives up the price for oil on the spot market. As far as the market is concerned, the demand for a barrel of oil that results from the purchase of a futures contract by a speculator is just as real as the demand for a barrel that results from the purchase of a futures contract by a refiner or other user of petroleum.

Perhaps 60% of oil prices today pure speculation

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley today are the two leading energy trading firms in the United States. Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase are major players and fund numerous hedge funds as well who speculate.

In June 2006, oil traded in futures markets at some $60 a barrel and the Senate investigation estimated that some $25 of that was due to pure financial speculation. One analyst estimated in August 2005 that US oil inventory levels suggested WTI crude prices should be around $25 a barrel, and not $60.

That would mean today that at least $50 to $60 or more of todays $115 a barrel price is due to pure hedge fund and financial institution speculation. However, given the unchanged equilibrium in global oil supply and demand over recent months amid the explosive rise in oil futures prices traded on Nymex and ICE exchanges in New York and London it is more likely that as much as 60% of the today oil price is pure speculation. No one knows officially except the tiny handful of energy trading banks in New York and London and they certainly arent talking.

By purchasing large numbers of futures contracts, and thereby pushing up futures prices to even higher levels than current prices, speculators have provided a financial incentive for oil companies to buy even more oil and place it in storage. A refiner will purchase extra oil today, even if it costs $115 per barrel, if the futures price is even higher.

As a result, over the past two years crude oil inventories have been steadily growing, resulting in US crude oil inventories that are now higher than at any time in the previous eight years. The large influx of speculative investment into oil futures has led to a situation where we have both high supplies of crude oil and high crude oil prices.

Compelling evidence also suggests that the oft-cited geopolitical, economic, and natural factors do not explain the recent rise in energy prices can be seen in the actual data on crude oil supply and demand. Although demand has significantly increased over the past few years, so have supplies.

Over the past couple of years global crude oil production has increased along with the increases in demand; in fact, during this period global supplies have exceeded demand, according to the US Department of Energy. The US Department of Energys Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently forecast that in the next few years global surplus production capacity will continue to grow to between 3 and 5 million barrels per day by 2010, thereby substantially thickening the surplus capacity cushion.

Dollar and oil link

A common speculation strategy amid a declining USA economy and a falling US dollar is for speculators and ordinary investment funds desperate for more profitable investments amid the US securitization disaster, to take futures positions selling the dollar short and oil long.

For huge US or EU pension funds or banks desperate to get profits following the collapse in earnings since August 2007 and the US real estate crisis, oil is one of the best ways to get huge speculative gains. The backdrop that supports the current oil price bubble is continued unrest in the Middle East, in Sudan, in Venezuela and Pakistan and firm oil demand in China and most of the world outside the US. Speculators trade on rumor, not fact.

In turn, once major oil companies and refiners in North America and EU countries begin to hoard oil, supplies appear even tighter lending background support to present prices.

Because the over-the-counter (OTC) and London ICE Futures energy markets are unregulated, there are no precise or reliable figures as to the total dollar value of recent spending on investments in energy commodities, but the estimates are consistently in the range of tens of billions of dollars.

The increased speculative interest in commodities is also seen in the increasing popularity of commodity index funds, which are funds whose price is tied to the price of a basket of various commodity futures. Goldman Sachs estimates that pension funds and mutual funds have invested a total of approximately $85 billion in commodity index funds, and that investments in its own index, the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI), has tripled over the past few years. Notable is the fact that the US Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, is former Chairman of Goldman Sachs.
