written in 2003, minor updates 7/22/2008 Anyone who runs for public office or takes on
any daunting task will tell you that before you declare yourself and your intentions, you
do a great deal of soul searching. Soul Searching about your opinions,
motivations, and the personal risks you'll have to take.
That would include considering being publicly discredited on a national or local basis,
as well as any physical dangers that might be inherent in the endeavor. That is especially
true these days, when the media often takes insignificant statements or pieces of personal
history, and repeats it over and over again until the public believes it is "the
truth".
Recent examples of this are exemplified in a report by John Stossel of
ABC's 20/20 segment "Give Me A Break" where he explained that, despite how it
appeared in the press, that shark attacks have not been increasing, they have just been
over-reported in the press.
Another example: child abduction. This is actually a better
example because there's nothing more frightening to a parent than the idea that their
child would be abducted by a sexual predator. Last year, we heard the truly horrible
stories of Elizabeth Smart and others... over and over and over again until George Bush
finally proposed having a conference regarding the problem (which, of course he cancelled,
like every other proposal that would seem to benefit the working class citizens of this
country).
Interestingly enough, one of the proposals of this conference was to have been the
implantation of a small global positioning device in the arm of every child when they were
born, presumably to be able to track children if they were abducted. But,
considering that child abductions in the United States have been steadily on the decline,
one has to question such an over-reaction.
The information I am going to ask you to pay attention to on this site is not pleasant
to hear or present. I did not not set out to expose some vast conspiracy.
I have never been one to pay attention to conspiracy theories, even though I
always knew that, particularly in politics, things are not always what they seem.
Everyone knows that what we hear in the press and in public is not the whole story, but
instead, is spin, what I call semantical lies, half-truths and lies of omission. You
could simply call it propaganda, but, that's a word that has simply lost its meaning in
our culture.
What it really amounts to is mastering the art of communicative illusion - causing
people to accept the illusion or interpretation of what they want us to believe. I'll talk
about that more later.
How This Began For Me
On March 20th, 2002, I opened a website for one purpose: to create an archive for
myself of all the news stories of the day. Why? Because it appeared to me that
all the speeches being made by political figures did not match what was actually going on
in the world. I wanted to create a library of stories that would allow the patterns
of events to become apparent, instead of just trying to remember it all, and getting
caught up in exhaustive, highly focused research and detail.
I began with a fairly objective approach. I didn't know what the truth was, but I
was willing to have it reveal itself. By June of 2002, I decided I needed to spread
the word to other people, because what I discovered was disturbing. The entire
contents of this site are the result of those discoveries.
On July 4th, 2002 I began an internet campaign to attract other people to a campaign to
boycott a particular broadcasting network for its biased coverage. I believe we succeeded
in that effort.
From March of of 2002 until November of 2002, I worked what was easily 20 hours a
day to assist in defeating a Republican tri-fecta in Congress. ( It would be accurate to
say that by the end of that effort, I was near exhaustion, and little did I know then that
it had a great deal to do with electronic attacks from Psychotronics, something the
government and corporations like to do to people when they learn too much and try to tell
other people. Since then, I have come in cntact with thousands of people who are also
being attacked.)
The Democrats did not assist in their own election. I honestly don't know if that was
because they were disorganized or because they wanted to assist in it.
At this juncture, I have to say there are many fine, honest people in Congress,
regardless of the party they are associated with. That's just a fact.
But, at the same time, what is most disturbing is finding out is that the vast right
wing conspiracy is not limited to the Republican party. Not in the slightest.
In fact, I can say that there are numerous Democrats who I have admired, presidents
included, who have acquiesced to the temptations of power and money. They may have
started out with the best intentions and actions, and I believe that. But, because our
system requires so much money in order to get elected, many have sold out, believing that
once they took office, they could correct the situation.
Like Barack Obama and John McCain of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The most damning of these acquiescences occurred in the presidency of Woodrow Wilson in
1912, and the unconstitutional installment of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal
Reserve Board is not a Federal Agency. It is a private consortium of the largest
bankers and financiers in the world. And the interest we pay on the national debt does
nothing less than line their pockets, and allows them to control the global political
landscape with the power of their wealth.
The problem is that all people have secrets that would discredit them if the public
knew. And, so, the extortion that occurred in order to suppress these individuals
was much worse in the long run - passing legislation that benefits the wealthy elite.
This country is no longer a Democracy. Anyone who claims that the United States
is operating as a democracy is simply purposely perpetuating the illusion, going along for
their own personal interests, or is simply uninformed.
I don't claim to know all of the facts. You don't need to know all of the facts -
just a few will do. And with those few facts, you will see a clear pattern of
treason and racketeering by people who Americans believe are the heroes of this nation.
Strong words, I know, but if you actually take the time to inform yourself,
it is simple to see.
Recently, tongue in cheek, but seriously as well, I claimed that the most important
movies of our times are The Matrix and Swordfish. Here's why.
The Matrix is all about how we've been fed story after story by people we're supposed
to be able to trust, only to find out that the world we live in, and all the morals and
ethics and great American traditions, are an illusion. We are given rules and laws
to live by, while these leaders live by an entirely different set of rules.
Don't pay attention to what we say, pay attention to what we do. That's basically
what Richard Nixon said years ago. That's what I suggest that you do now.
We make jokes about how politicians will say and do practically anything to get
elected. But, we fundamentally trust them because it's difficult to believe that they
would betray us and harm our nation on purpose. And they understand that most
Americans get their information from broadcast news and radio. Few Americans read.
The Matrix begins with the explanation of how you know there's something wrong, but
you're not sure what, and in the mean time, you're too busy just trying to survive to be
able to take the time to become immersed in the details of what's actually occurring.
The other movie, Swordfish, is all about misdirection... the same sort of misdirection
that magicians use. While you're looking at the funny look on their faces, they're
pulling something out of a pocket.
The Iraq war is a perfect example of this. While George Bush appears as the
conquering hero, our economy is going down the drain, jobs are being lost to cheaper labor
in foreign countries, our civil liberties are being stripped away by the Department of
Justice. It's no accident.
We have a Congress full of people who simply won't stand up for the truth, and explain
it to the American people for fear of losing the next election because of propaganda in
the media... which just happens to be owned by these same traitorous financiers. And what
they don't tell you most is that they take their orders from the Council on Foreign
Relations.
And, to give you an example of what happens to people who actually do try to oppose it:
consider the plight of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert and Martin Luther
King. Even Jeremiah Wright... John Lennon...
I wish it wasn't true, but it is. But don't take my word for it, I don't
have to make this stuff up.
Please, read these stories. And then do something about it. They are sourced from
highly reliable educators and researchers.
And, I suppose I would ask you to understand that my reasons for doing what I am doing
is not to benefit myself. It's to stand up for Democracy, and the future of this nation
and this planet.
I believe in Democracy. Many of our parents, many of our peers have fought and died for
it, and for America. I refuse to let it be sold.
