The United Nations is calling for urgent action to curb world population warning that the world's population could reach 15 billion by 2100. Of course population control has been on the list of globalist movements for the past century. The Georgia Guidestones in Elberton Georgia call for a world population of only 500 million, a reduction of about 80% of the current world population.
This article by the Guardian sounds more like a promotion of Agenda 21 and preparation for what may soon become the primary global objective. Read the Guardian article here
NAIROBI, Kenya – The U.S. Embassy is warning that an imminent terrorist attack in Kenya is possible.
The warning said likely targets include places that foreigners congregate, including shopping malls and night clubs. The embassy issued the warning from what it called credible information.
The U.S. did not specify who might carry out such an attack, but the warning comes a week after Kenyan troops pushed into Somalia to attack al-Shabab militants. Al-Shabab carried out attacks in July in Uganda which killed 76 people.
With the recent death of Libyan Leader Moanmar Gaddafi, The President took the opportunity to speak on the subject on the White House Lawn. For details in Gaddafi's death see this, and this,
In this article I will break down the actual speech of Barack Obama and attempt to separate the facts from the fantasy of Obama's Teleprompter, so let's get started.
Obama: "Today the government of Libya announced the death of Moanmar Gaddafi..."
So far He is telling the truth.
Obama: "This marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of Libya, who now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny in a new and democratic Libya. For four decades the Gaddafi Regime ruled the Libyan people with an iron fist...."
This is where the New speak begins. He starts by talking of the long and painful chapter of the Libyan people. Lets look at the misery and oppression that was being afflicted on the Libyan people by Gaddafi:
As you can see in this video, Gaddafi was not afraid to expose himself to his people. He was clearly respected by his people and cheered as he rode through the streets of Libya. Here are some of the "oppressive" things Gaddafi was putting on his people"
Before the NATO invasion, Libya enjoyed the highest standard of living out of all the countries in Africa, even better than the living standards of Russia, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia.
In Libya, homes are considered a human right...Newly weds receive $50,000 to purchase their own home.
Electricity is provided to the people for free.
Gaddafi once stated that he would vow a house to each Libyan even before his own parents!
Before Gaddafi came to power, less than 1/5th of the Libyan people were Literate. Now education is free to the Libyan people and the current literacy rate is 83%.
Healthcare is also free and of a high standard. If a Libyan cannot find the particular healthcare or education they need in Libya, then there is funding for them to go for it to a country overseas or outside of Libya.
All loans are at 0% interest in Libya by law.
If a Libyan buys a car, the government will pay 50% of the price.
The price of gasoline is $0.14/
Any Libyan desiring to be a farmer is given free use of land, a home, livestock, and equipment.
On July 1st, 2011 nearly 2 million Libyans assembled in Green Square, Tripoli in defiance to the NATO bombing of Libya.. this represented about 95% of the population of Tripoli.... and about 1/3rd of the population of Libya.
The Libyan Central Bank was state owned and not ran by the Rothschild Banks of Europe or the IMF.
Gaddafi exercised what he called "Direct Democracy" written about in the "Green Book".
Obama: " Basic human rights were denied, innocent civilians were detained, beaten and killed..."
Here is video of some of the rights of Libyans being detained, beaten and killed:
Video 1- "detained"
Video 2 -" beaten"
Video 3- "killed"
Oh, I'm sorry. These are just a few of the thousands of instances of innocent civilians being detained, beaten and killed .... In America!
Let's not forget the fact that our President has not only had an American citizen assassinated without a trial in the killing of Anwar al-Alwaki, but worse than that, the White House has had a list of Americans targeted for assassination as far back as 2009!
Under the Obama administration, we still have secret renditions, torture, and indefinite detention!!
According to an article on wsws.org, documents found recently in Tripoli show close ties to the CIA and Mi6 with torture squads in Libya. The article states in part:
British and American intelligence agencies maintained the closest ties with the Gaddafi regime and collaborated in the interrogation and torture of Islamist suspects that they had detained in other countries and “rendered” to Libya. Having relied on Gaddafi’s police state for their own purposes, Washington and London only turned on their former ally as a means of containing and countering revolutionary upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa and to obtain tighter control of Libyan oil by installing a client regime.
The article also states that both the U.S. and Britain have refused to comment on the documents and further states:
Describing the extent of the documents, Time magazine wrote: “Among the documents found were rendition proposals, rendition schedules, a speech drafted for Gaddafi by MI6 about making the Middle East ‘a WMD-free zone’, lists of terrorist suspect interrogation questions requested by the CIA, wiretaps of foreign embassies, Libyan telephone numbers intercepted by and provided by the CIA to Libyan authorities, as well as transcripts of terrorism suspect interrogations.”
It's really the height of hypocrisy when the King stands before his teleprompter speaking of the brutal regime of Gaddafi and the brutality he inflicted on the Libyan people while being a co-conspirator in torture!
Obama: " and Libya's wealth was squandered..."
In an interview on RT News, Pepe Escobar explained how most of Gaddafi's gold reserves were used to pay the forces loyal to Gaddafi in order to keep up a formidable resistance against the NATO forces:
"Gaddafi, since February, took truckloads of gold to the Southern desert, and this gold will be obviously distributed among the tribes and among the two Iraqs and among the further resistance."
It's apparent that the Obama administration feels that the use of the wealth of Libya in it's pursuit of freedom in protecting itself from the aggressions of the Western powers and Al Qeada rebels under NATO orders, is a "squandering of the wealth". Probably because the intentions of our current administration was to confiscate the gold for themselves. Of course this probably would take place in a "legal" action of "freezing assets" and safe holding by some international bank like the IMF.
Obama: " The enormous potential of the Libyan people was held back,
This speech gets more pathetic by the minute!! Look at the potential of the American people that has been held back by the "squandering of wealth" here in the U.S. by this administration. Unemployment is currently at 9.1% going by the BLS, but the SGS Alternate unemployment rate shows actual unemployment at around 22%!
Trillions of dollars in bailouts have been squandered by the administration as well. According to a Business Insider article in 2009, the amount came to 23.7 trillion! That was two years ago. It is undoubtedly more than that since then.
We should not forget that the Patriot Act was only passed after lethal anthrax letters were mailed to two crucial Democratic Senators – Senators Daschle and Leahy – who had initially questioned the bill. After the anthrax letters, however, they withdrew their initial opposition.[17] Someone — we still do not know who – must have planned those anthrax letters well in advance. This is a fact most Americans do not want to think about.
Don't forget the economic terror used by the White House to pass the $780 billion bailout in 2008:
Obama: "Today we can definitively say that the Gaddafi regime has come to an end, the last major regime strongholds have fallen. The new government is consolidating control over the country, and one of the world's longest serving dictators is no more..."
With the death of Gaddafi, and the overthrow of his regime it looks as though there will be a consolidation of control....but it may not be as simple as Obama lets on. According to Webster Tarpley, there may be a civil war brewing. The group called the "National Transitional Council" that has been appointed by NATO as the puppet rulers of Libya, are composed primarilly of three groups. One group he refers to as the "Gaddafi Renegades" and the second group as the "Gaddafi Re-treads". They were once loyal Ministers of Gaddafi but ultimately betrayed him. Then there is the dominate group of the Al Qeada fighters, and terrorists.
Then there is also the possibility of one of Gaddafi's successors taking his place, and so on.
Obama: One year ago, the notion of a free Libya seemed impossible, but then the Libyan people rose up and demanded their rights.."
The Libyan people seemed to have pretty decent rights from what I've seen. The real reason for the "revolution" and initial protests in Libya did not come from the Libyan people's discontent with their government, but the Western powers' discontent with Libya's growing independence and defiance of the UN, U.S., Britain, and the rejection of the IMF's control over Libya.
While there may certainly have been some discontent among citizens in Libya, it seems more plausible that the invasion, or excuse me, "kinetic action" was due to the fact that Gaddafi's intention to introduce the gold Dinar as trade in oil transactions in place of the plummeting U.S. dollar.
According to a Russian News articleПредыдущая запись, Gaddafi called uponboth the Arabian and African countries to stop the use of the dollar and Euro and to go to the Gold Dinar as their single currency. the article states:
Such initiative of Lybia was very negatively estimated by USA and European Union. According to the words of french president Nickola Sarkozi, "lybian people caused a threat for financial security of mankind". Numerous arguments drawn by them to the leader of the Libyan revolution gave no results: Ghaddafi still made steps that led to the creation of United Africa.
This seems the most realistic reason behind the attack, as only weeks into the invasion, a central bank under the control of the IMF was established by the rebel forces! Incredible.Robert Wenzel wrote of this in the Economic Policy Journal:
I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising. This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences.
In a statement released last week, the rebels reported on the results of a meeting held on March 19. Among other things, the supposed rag-tag revolutionaries announced the "[d]esignation of the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and appointment of a Governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi."
Obama:" And when Gaddafi's forcesstarted going from city to city, town by town, to brutalize men women and children, the world refused to stand idly by. Faced with the potential of mass atrocities, and a call for help from the Libyan people, the United States, and our friends and allies stopped Gaddafi's forces in their tracks."
Of course the U.S. along with the United Nations and the other NATO allies were so concerned for the men, women, and children of Libya. But contrary to Obama's moving words, nothing could be more absurd. According to Digital Journal.com, the bombing by NATO forces, and the atrocities being committed the NATO backed rebels are exactly the opposite of the NATO's supposed purpose of protecting civilians of Libya. The article states:
Nato has broken every rule in the book by bombing civilian targets, always in the name of protecting civilians. It has armed rebel fighters despite the arms embargo, and gone far beyond its remit of enforcing a no-fly zone. It stands blindly by as rebel troops commit atrocities against African blacks and Pro-Gaddafi loyalists, ignoring the pleas of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to "exercise extreme caution in their actions, in order to minimize any further loss of civilian life."(Reuters) NATO continues to deploy weapons whilst denying the true scale of civilian deaths.
The speech then goes on to say in summary that a "democracy" will now be established in Libya, with the U.S. and NATO partners standing by Libya during the long and winding road ahead. Obama then goes on to thank the coalition forces and the Libyans etc. that helped in the elimination of Gaddafi and His regime.
Going further into the speech: Obama: " The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted, and with this enormous promise, the Libyan people have a great responsibility, to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya, that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Gaddafi's Dictatorship..."
And already, the desires of the Western powers to "democratize" Libya seem to be falling in place as reports of food, water, and electricity shortages plague Tripoli. In an article from VOC News dated August 28, 2011, it states:
Rebel fighters pushed increasingly leaderless regime gunmen to the outskirts of Tripoli on Saturday, as severe shortages of fuel, water and electricity paralyzed the battle-scarred capital and the stench of growing piles garbage filled the air. In a call to The Associated Press, the regime's spokesman said Gadhafi is still in Libya. The rebels, who now control most of Libya, said they are preparing for an assault on Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte, his last major bastion, if negotiations with tribal leaders there fail.
Also according to the same article, fuel prices have skyrocketed:
Fuel prices have skyrocketed. In Tripoli, the cost of 20 liters (about 5 gallons) has jumped to about 120 dinars ($100) - 28 times the price before fighting broke.
Yep, sounds like the administration's brand of democracy! The same democracy that was established in Iraq, with food, water, and electricity shortages, civil war and general misery - well done Obama!
Later in the Speech Obama talks about the revolutions taking place across the Arab world: Obama:" For the region, today's events prove once more that the rule of an iron fist inevitably comes to an end, across the Arab world citizens have stood up to claim their rights. Youth are delivering a powerful rebuke to dictatorship. And those leaders who try to deny their human dignity will not succeed."
At this point of his speech I just want to rewrite it a little and give Obama a little taste of his own medicine.
"For the U.S., today's events (protests against The Fed, Wall Street, and the criminals in the White House with Obama's oppressive regime) prove that the rule of the iron fist inevitably comes to an end, across the United States citizens have stood up to claim their rights.Youth are delivering a powerful rebuke to dictatorship. And those White House Leaders who try to deny their human dignity will not succeed."
Anyway, at the end of the speech, Obama begins to thank all of the American troops who were involved in this action. He mentions the Pilots who flew the bombing runs, and the sailors offshore on the battleships, as well as those who lost their lives. Obama:"...Our brave pilots have flown in Libya's skies, our sailors have provided support off Libya's shores. and our leadership at NATO has helped guide our coalition. Without putting a single U.S. service member on the ground we achieved our objectives..."
What he fails to mention is the hundreds of British coalition forces on the ground assisting the rebel forces. An article in the Daily Mail shows photos of the forces, and a caption below one of the photos stating such:
Take cover: Rebel fighters protect themselves from a bombing raid. There are already hundreds of British troops helping these forces target Colonel Gaddafi loyalists
A report from Infowars.com verified that American Special Forces units were also assisting the rebel forces led by NATO.
Well, there you have it folks, in spite of Obama’s hollow promises of no boots on the ground in Libya, Pentagon spokesman Captain John Kirby finally confirmed that there are U.S. troops present in the still war-torn North African nation. Allegedly there are only four troops present working under the auspices of the State Department to help in the reconstruction of the American Embassy to Libya.
Further into the article it shows that a spokesperson for the State Dept. had to cover for the fact that U.S. troops were indeed in Libya, but she claimed they were not involved in the actual fighting:
The spokesperson for the Department of State, Victoria Nuland, claimed today that, “When the president made his commitment to ‘no boots on the ground’ … obviously that had to do with entering into the fray between the Qaddafi forces and the Libyan freedom fighters, and that’s not what these guys are engaged in,” according to Fox News.
Yeah, right.
Obama then goes on with how great the power of the U.S. is, and how we're going to pull the troops out of Iraq, and how the NATO mission in Libya will soon come to an end and Blah, blah, blah.
It's just too bad they had to find his damned teleprompter.
We could have been spared the propaganda.....
Most people have no idea that Wall Street has become a gigantic financial casino. The big Wall Street banks are making tens of billions of dollars a year in the derivatives market, and nobody in the financial community wants the party to end.
The word "derivatives" sounds complicated and technical, but understanding them is really not that hard. A derivative is essentially a fancy way of saying that a bet has been made. Originally, these bets were designed to hedge risk, but today the derivatives market has mushroomed into a mountain of speculation unlike anything the world has ever seen before.
Estimates of the notional value of the worldwide derivatives market go from $600 trillion all the way up to $1.5 quadrillion. Keep in mind that the GDP of the entire world is only somewhere in the neighborhood of $65 trillion. The danger to the global financial system posed by derivatives is so great that Warren Buffet once called them "financial weapons of mass destruction". For now, the financial powers that be are trying to keep the casino rolling, but it is inevitable that at some point this entire mess is going to come crashing down. When it does, we are going to be facing a derivatives crisis that really could destroy the entire global financial system.
GENEVA -- The U.N. human rights office called Friday for an investigation into the death of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, noting that his death robbed his victims of a chance at "cathartic" justice in the courts.
Gadhafi was captured alive Thursday in his hometown of Sirte before shaky amateur footage showed rebel fighters standing over his bloodied body.
"We believe there is a need for an investigation," said Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights. "More details are needed to ascertain whether he was killed in some form of fighting or was executed after his capture."
"The two cell phone videos that have emerged, one of him alive, and one of him dead, taken together are very disturbing," he told reporters in Geneva.
A Libyan official said Friday that the burial of Gadhafi has been delayed until his death can be examined by the International Criminal Court – though it was not immediately clear if he was referring to a look at the dictator's body or a probe into what led to his death.

"And he causes all, both small and great, and rich and poor, and free and slave, to be given a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads,
and that no one should be able to buy or sell except he that has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." - Revelation
In Louisiana, House bill 195, forbids those buying and selling second-hand goods from doing transactions in cash. House Bill 195 of the 2011 Regular Session (Act 389) broadly defines a secondhand dealer to include
“… Anyone, other than a non-profit entity, who buys, sells, trades in or otherwise acquires or disposes of junk or used or secondhand property more frequently than once per month from any other person, other than a non-profit entity, shall be deemed as being in the business of a secondhand dealer. ” The law then states that “A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property…”
The broad scope of this definition can essentially encompass everyone; from your local flea market vendors and buyers to a housewife purchasing goods on ebay or craigslist, to a group of guys trading baseball cards, they could all be considered secondhand dealers. Lawmakers in Louisiana have effectively banned its citizens from freely using United States legal tender.
The bill flew under the radar until recently, and now will further restrict the liberties of those living in Louisiana. Police officials there are claiming this will give them a paper trail on transactions involving stolen property.
Beware of strangers bearing gifts. Post-modern Amazon and United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally landed in Tripoli - on a military jet - to lavish praise on the dodgy Transitional National Council (TNC), those pportunists/defectors/Islamists formerly known as "North Atlantic Treaty Organization rebels".
Clinton was greeted on Tuesday "on the soil of free Libya" (her words) by what the New York Times quaintly described as an "irregular militia" (translation: a heavily armed gang that is already raising hell against other heavily armed gangs), before meeting TNC chairman Mustafa Abdel-NATO (formerly known as Jalil).
The bulk of the US gifts - US$40 million - on top of the $135 million already disbursed since February (most of it military "aid") is for a missile scramble conducted by "contractors" (ie mercenaries) trying to track the tsunami of mobile anti-aircraft rockets that by now are already conveniently ensconced in secret Islamist warehouses. Clinton told students at the University of Tripoli, "We are on your side." She could not possibly connect the dots and note that theshabab (young people) who started demonstrating against Muammar Gaddafi in February have absolutely nothing to do with the TNC's opportunists/defectors/Islamists who hijacked the protests. But she did have time to unveil another US foreign policy "secret" - that the US wants Gaddafi "dead or alive", George W Bush-style (or as the beneficiary of targeted assassination, Barack Obama-style).
The new Fallujah In her exhausting six-and-a-half hours on "free Libya" soil, Clinton couldn't possibly find the time to hitch a helicopter ride to Sirte and see for herself how NATO is exercising R2P ("responsibility to protect" civilians).
A few hundred soldiers and no less than 80,000 civilians have been bombed for weeks by NATO and the former "rebels". Only 20,000 civilians have managed to escape. There's no food left. Water and electricity have been cut off. Hospitals are idle. The city - under siege - is in ruins. Sirte imams have issued a fatwa(decree) allowing survivors to eat cats and dogs.
What Gaddafi never did to Benghazi - and there's no evidence he might have - the TNC is doing to Sirte, Gaddafi's home town. Just like the murderous US offensive in Fallujah in the Iraqi Sunni triangle in late 2004, Sirte is being destroyed in order to "save it". Sirte, the new Fallujah, is brought to you by NATO rebels. R2P, RIP.
Former Soviet leader says protest movement highlights need for “global governance”
Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, October 21, 2011
Former Communist leader Mikhail Gorbachev told an audience at Lafayette College on Wednesday night that the United States’ economic problems heralded the need for a new American “perestroika,” defined by a “new world order” and a system of “global governance”.
Speaking to a crowd of 3,600 people during an event that was broadcast live nationwide, Gorbachev made reference to riots and demonstrations that have swept the world over the last two years, including the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States.
“The world needs goals that will bring people together,” he said. “Some people in the United States were pushing the idea of creating a global American empire, and that was a mistake from the start. Other people in America are now giving thought to the future of their country. The big banks, the big corporations, are still paying the same big bonuses to their bosses. Was there ever a crisis for them? . . . I believe America needs its own perestroika.”
How will this American perestroika manifest itself? As a “new world order” characterized by a system of “global governance,” according to Gorbachev.
“Others, including myself, have spoken about a new world order, but we are still facing the problem of building such a world order…problems of the environment, of backwardness and poverty, food shortages…all because we do not have a system of global governance,” he said.
“We cannot leave things as they were before, when we are seeing that these protests are moving to even new countries, that almost all countries are now witnessing such protests, that the people want change,” he said. “As we are addressing these challenges, these problems raised by these protest movements, we will gradually find our way towards a new world order,” added Gorbachev.

The Washington Times
October 21, 2011
BALTIMORE — The commander of the U.S. Cyber Command said Thursday that he does not favor giving the United Nations the power to regulate the Internet.
Some regulations are needed to protect critical networks that control electrical power, banking, transportation and other key elements of society, Army Gen. Keith Alexander, who is also director of the National Security Agency, said after a speech to a security conference.
But asked whether the U.N. should have a regulation role, Gen. Alexander said: “No. I’m not for regulating, per se. I’m concerned about it, and this is a tough question. I would say, generally speaking, I’m not into that portion of regulating as you would espouse.”
Last month, Russia, China, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan submitted a resolution to the U.N. General Assembly calling for giving individual states the right to control the Internet. The resolution, submitted Sept. 14, calls for “an international code of conduct for information security.”
It requests “international deliberations within the United Nationsframework on such an international code, with the aim of achieving the earliest possible consensus on international norms and rules guiding the behavior of states in the information space.”
China tightly controls the Internet through a cybersecurity police force estimated to be more than 10,000 people who monitor Internet users and websites.

Reports today of Gaddafi's death have caused the Western News media to cheer for the NATO attack on Libya and the death of Libya's Leader Moamar Gaddafi.
RT News has reported that there are some doubts as to whether Gaddafi's death has been confirmed or not. In a news report by Steve Watson of Infowars, one of the reasons the Western Powers wanted him dead was the fact that "The former Libyan dictator’s death negates any requirement for a UN International Criminal Court trial, a la Saddam Hussein or Slobodan Milosevic. Thus Blair’s intimate business dealings and multiple secret meetings with Gaddafi during his tenure as British Prime Minister and beyond will be kept away from public scrutiny."
One of the other reasons for the "kinetic Action" -(a Newspeak term by the Obama administration) was due to the independence of Libya by Gaddafi in that his country was not beholden to the IMF and the globalist Rothchild family. See this revealing report from RT News:
Here is a speech Gaddafi gave in July of 2011 while NATO warplanes were busy attacking Libya. Approximately 2 million Libyan citizens gathered in tripoli to show support for Gaddafi:
The Western media has painted the picture of Gaddafi as a cruel tyrant to his people, and the PMFs (private military forces) as freedom fighters who are oppressed citizens only trying to overthrow an oppressive ruler, when in fact these rebels are hired Al qeada terrorists being payed by the U.S. and Britain to do the dirty work of taking out the strongman Gaddafi in order to set up a Central Bank and an oil company in order to gain monetary control and confiscate the 144 tons of gold held by Libya! :
Report on April 16, 2011. Western propaganda and distortion
Libya will now become a democracy and it's wealth handed over to the World Bank and IMF as part of the Global agenda for the takeover and raping of it similar to Iraq's invasion.
The corporate media is going into paroxysms over the supposed death of Muammar Gaddafi without much evidence beyond a couple blurry video captures taken from a cell phone.
So far, there has been zero independent verification of the claim. The NTC – otherwise known as al-Qaeda – said earlier today it has whisked off the body to a secret location for “security reasons.”
Despite the lack of evidence, the corporate media is now accepting Gaddafi’s death as fact. This is the same media that accepted the unconfirmed death of Osama bin Laden and told us Saddam had aluminum tubes of mass destruction.
Meanwhile, as the corporate media parades the morbid image and celebrates murder, the Green Charter Movement in Jamahiriya claims Gaddafi is alive. From Gaddafi’s very own propaganda outlet, the Mathaba News Agency:
Green Committees have confirmed that the leader is alive, and that the enemy is seeking to take advantage of his being currently out of communications. The aim is to please Hillary Clinton who barked at her Arab slaves that she wants Muammar Qaddafi “dead or alive.”
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ORDER OF THE SKULL AND BONES
By Antony Sutton
Is There a Conspiracy Explanation for Recent History?
During the past one hundred years any theory of history or historical evidence that falls outside a pattern established by the American Historical Association and the major foundations with their grant-making power has been attacked or rejected -- not on the basis of any evidence presented, but on the basis of acceptability of the argument to the so-called Eastern Liberal Establishment and its official historical line.
There is an Establishment history, an official history, which dominates history textbooks, trade publishing, the media and library shelves. The official line always assumes that events such as wars, revolutions, scandals, assassinations, are more or less random unconnected events. By definition, events can NEVER be the result of a conspiracy, they can never result from premeditated planned group action.
We are going to argue and present detailed precise evidence (including names, dates and places) that the only reasonable explanation for recent history in the United States is that there exists a conspiracy to use political power for ends which are inconsistent with the Constitution... If there can be a conspiracy in the market place, then why not in the political arena?
Most CFR members are not involved in a conspiracy and have no knowledge of any conspiracy... However, there is a group WITHIN the Council on Foreign Relations which belongs to a secret society, sworn to secrecy, and which more or less controls the CFR [whose] meetings are used for their own purposes.
These members are in The Order. Their membership in The Order can be proven. Their meetings can be proven. Their objectives are plainly unconstitutional. And this ORDER has existed for 150 years in the United States.
The Order: What It Is and How It Began
Those on the inside know it as The Order. For legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as the Russell Trust in 1856. It was also once known as the "Brotherhood of Death". Those who make light of it...call it "Skull & Bones".
The American chapter of this German order was founded in 1833 at Yale University by General William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft who, in 1876, became Secretary of War in the Grant administration. Alphonso Taft was the father of William Howard Taft, the only man to be both President and Chief Justice of the United States.
The Order is not just another campus Greek letter fraternal society. Chapter 322 is a secret society whose members are sworn to silence. It is not at all happy with prying, probing citizens -- known among initiates as "outsiders" or "vandals". Its members always deny membership (or are supposed to deny membership). Above all, The Order is powerful, unbelievably powerful. (see note E1)
The Order is a senior year society which exists only at Yale. Members are chosen in their Junior year and spend only one year on campus, the Senior year, with Skull & Bones. In other words, the organization is oriented to the post graduate outside world.
There are two other senior societies at Yale... Scroll & Key and Wolf's Head are supposedly competitive societies founded in the mid 19th century. We believe these to be part of the same network.
What is the significance of the "322" in Chapter 322?... [One] interpretation is that The Order is descended from a Greek fraternal society dating back to Demosthenes in 322 B.C. ...Bones records are dated by adding 322 to the current year, i.e. records originating in 1950 are dated Anno Demostheni 2272.
Each year 15, and only 15 [new members] are selected. In the past 150 years, about 2500 Yale graduates have been initiated into The Order. At any one time about 500-600 are alive and active. Roughly about one-quarter of these take an active role in furthering the objectives of The Order. The others either lose interest or change their minds.
The most likely potential member is from a Bones family, who is energetic, resourceful, political and probably an amoral team player... Honor and financial rewards are guaranteed by the power of The Order. But the price of these honors and rewards is sacrifice to the common goal, the goal of The Order.
Entry into The Order is accompanied by an elaborate ritual... The neophyte's name is changed...like a monk or Knight of Malta or St. John, [he] becomes Knight so and so. The old Knights are then known as Patriarchso and so. The outside world are known as Gentiles and vandals.
It is instructive to compare 1833 with 1983 and how, over the century and half span, a group of 20-30 families has emerged to dominate The Order. It seems that active members have enough influence to push their sons and relatives into The Order and there is significant inter-marriage among the families.
These families fall into two major groups.
First, we find old line American families who arrived on the East coast in the 1600s (Whitney, Lord, Phelps, Wadsworth, Allen, Bundy, Adams and so on).
Second, we find families who acquired wealth in the last 100 years, sent their sons to Yale and in time became almost old line families (Harriman, Rockefeller, Payne, Davison).
One example is the Lord family. The first Lord to be initiated into The Order was George DeForest Lord (1854), a New York lawyer [and founder of] the New York law firm of Lord, Day and Lord. In the next hundred years, five more Lords were initiated into The Order, [including] Winston Lord (1959). (see note E2)
How Much is Known About The Order?
Only one article is known to have been published within the last 100 years on The Order [as of 1983]. Unfortunately, it is a superficial, almost mocking, review and provides some enlightenment but little contribution to historical knowledge. The article is the "Last Secrets of Skull and Bones" by Ron Rosenbaum (Esquire, September 1977). Rosenbaum is a Yale graduate attracted by the fictional possibilities of a secret society out to control the world.
This author does however, possess copies of the "Address" books, which used to be called "Catalogues". These are the membership lists all the way back to 1832. With these we can reconstruct a picture of motives, objectives and operations.
The actions of individual members are already recorded in open history and archives. By determining when members enter a scene, what they did, what they argued, who they appointed and when they faded out, we can assemble patterns and deduce objectives.
Who Is In This Secret Society?
Most members are from the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Members are all males and almost all White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. In great part they descended from English Puritan families. These families either intermarried with financial power or invited... money moguls whose sons became members of The Order.
A key family is the Whitneys, descended from English Puritans who came to the U.S. about 1635. Eight Whitneys have been members of The Order. William Collins Whitney (1863) and his two sons, W. Payne Whitney (1898) and Harry Payne Whitney (1894), are the core of Whitney influence in The Order which survives today through the Harriman family and intermarriage with Paynes and Vanderbilts.
Hypothesis Number One:
A Secret Society dominated by old line American families and new wealth has existed from 1833 to the present day.

William Collins Whitney (1841-1904) is a fine example of how members of The Order rise to fame and fortune. W.C. Whitney was initiated in 1863... In the last three decades of the century, he rolled up a massive fortune, became a power behind the throne in the Cleveland administration, and directed the often unscrupulous activities of a cluster of capitalists known as "the Whitney Group".
William C. Whitney married Flora Payne, daughter of Standard Oil Treasurer Oliver Payne. Their two sons, Harry Payne Whitney (1894) and Payne Whitney (1898), went to Yale and became members of The Order. After Yale, Harry Payne Whitney promptly married Gertrude Vanderbilt in 1896. [Their son] Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney married Marie Norton. After their divorce, Marie Norton Whitney married W. Averell Harriman (1913). It is these tightly woven family and financial interlocks that make up the core of The Order.
The elder Harriman, a prominent and not too scrupulous railroad magnate, sent both his sons to Yale. William Averell Harriman (1913) and Edward Roland Noel Harriman (1917) joined The Order. It may be that Harriman and his fellow investment bankers have dominated the direction of The Order in the past few decades.
In the 1930s, W.A. Harriman & Company merged with Brown Brothers. This was an older financial house whose partners were also members of The Order. By the 1970s the relatively unknown private international banking firm of Brown Brothers Harriman, with assets of about one-half billion dollars, had taken in so many of "the Brotherhood" that out of 26 individual partners, no fewer than 9 were members of The Order.
And to make it more interesting, Prescott Bush, father of vice president George H.W. Bush (both in The Order), was a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman for over 40 years. (see note E3)
An unofficial gauge of human misery in the United States rose last month to a 28-year high as Americans struggled with rising inflation and high unemployment.
The misery index — which is simply the sum of the country's inflation and unemployment rates — rose to 13.0, pushed up by higher price data the government reported.
The data underscores the extent that Americans continue to suffer even two years after a deep recession ended, with a weak economic recovery imperiling President Barack Obama's hopes of winning re-election next year.

Like Milosevic, Gaddafi would have thrust western support for Al-Qaeda fighters under the spotlight

The death of Muammar Gaddafi, killed by NATO and US-backed rebels, will be hailed by western powers, not merely because they have now seized control of another oil-rich country under the dubious auspices of the “Arab Spring,” but because Gaddafi will be prevented from exposing western support for Al-Qaeda terrorists under the glare of a UN International Criminal Court trial.
Initial reports suggest that Gaddafi attempted to flee the town of Sirte but his convoy was bombed by NATO warplanes. Rebels then captured and killed the former Libyan leader by putting a bullet through his head. Read the entire article
