INCONVENIENT TRUTHS

"You can either be informed and be your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you."

Julian Assange

"To maintain power and control over the masses, you deny them education, you deny them information, and you deny them the truth."

Charlie Robinson, 2017

"Google is destroying the most glorious gift humanity was granted in the last 300 years [the internet]. The future under Google is a fascist dystopia, their way or the highway, no room for dissidents, no room for free speech. Google is a boot stomping on your face for eternity.
Google is the deep state. Forget about conventional wars, forget about spies, forget about intelligence agencies, forget about all of that. It's all about the internet and Google running the internet. They decide how you feel, what you think, what information you can and can't look at, and ultimately who does and doesn't have a voice."

David Bowie's final message written weeks before he died, 2015

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

George Orwell

"Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you're right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth."

Mahatma Gandhi

"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."

Voltaire

"The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd. And it's the responsible men who have to make decisions and to protect society from the trampling and rage of the bewildered herd. Now since it's a democracy they - the herd, that is - are permitted occasionally to lend their weight to one or another member of the responsible class. That's called an election."

Noam Chomsky

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

Upton Sinclair

"What the press do is they tell you lies, lies they already know you want to hear. The press can figure out what its readers or viewers believe, and make a hell of a living pandering to their egos and telling them that they're smart. They lie and tell the audience they are right, and they never have to change their minds about anything. And the audience rewards them, lauding them and paying them money to keep hearing those sweet, self-serving lies."

Allan Uthman

"A populace deprived of the ability to separate lies from truth, is no longer capable of sustaining a free society."

Chris Hedges

"Most Americans have no idea that what we are fed by the news media is nothing more than a portrayal of what powerful corporations want us to believe, that what happens to pass as education is as often as not mere propaganda, that what we learn in church may have very little or nothing to do with the truth, that what our parents teach us may be nothing more than an accumulation of their own personal biases, no doubt a rather subtle modification of what they were taught by their parents. And through such a process, governments and nations around the world wield control as to what their citizens, believe, value, and do."

Doug Soderstrom

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't."

Anatolie France

"If one is to measure the degree of brainwashing of a particular population by the gap between what a people believe about their country and what their country has actually done, the American people are easily the most brainwashed population in the world."

William Blum

"They don't educate our kids, they indoctrinate our kids. It's a propaganda machine."

Ron Paul

"We have a large public that is very ignorant about public affairs.
... Shortly, the public will be unable to reason or think for themselves. They'll only be able to parrot the information they've been given on the previous night's news."

Zbigniew Brzezinski

"Consumers of news, if fed American-exceptionalism junk food long enough, come to feel at home with it, equate it with objectivity, with getting the truth; it appears neutral and unbiased, like the old comfortable living-room sofa they're sitting on as they watch NBC or CNN. They view the 'alternative media,' with a style rather different from what they're accustomed to, as not being 'objective'."

William Blum

"Television journalism is largely a farce. Celebrity reporters, masquerading as journalists, make millions a year and give a platform to the powerful and the famous so they can spin, equivocate, and lie.
... It is not one or two reporters or television hosts who are corrupt. The media institutions are corrupt. Many in the media, especially those based in Washington, work shamelessly for our elites."

Chris Hedges

"Governments don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking, That is against their interests. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept it."

George Carlin

"In America, we grew up thinking that the people that we see on the nightly news are journalists. But, there is no journalism happening there, only script reading. That is understood by anyone with a sliver of common sense, and the objectivity to realize that their newsperson is basically an actor."

Charlie Robinson, 2017

"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either."

columnist Edward Zehr

"As news organizations are increasingly driven by a bottom-line mentality, the news we get becomes more and more sensational. What is the difference between Time and Newsweek? Between ABC, NBC, and CBS News? Between the Washington Post and the New York Times? For all practical purposes, none. The concentration of media power means that Americans increasingly get their information from a few sources who decide what is "news".

Oliver Stone

"The question is not how to get good people to rule; the question is how to stop the powerful from doing as much damage as they can to us."

Karl Popper

"If leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance."

from George Orwell's 1949 novel "1984

The Emperor's New Clothes

In Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Emperor's New Clothes", the Emperor's subjects applauded his 'non-existent' magnificent new set of clothes, because they had been conditioned to believe whatever the Emperor and his officials told them, even to the extent of denying what they saw with their own eyes. It took an innocent child to declare: "The Emperor isn't wearing anything at all."

In our time, Americans have been conditioned - by official pronouncements, mainstream media repetition and public relations campaigns - to believe that verifiable events, even things they have seen with their own eyes, did not really happen. Lies and disinformation have replaced truth, and people have set aside their capacity to think critically, accepting explanations of events which are false, or even absurd.

This website challenges people to rediscover their critical thinking skills, and to look anew at the 'conventional wisdom' about some important issues and historical events that may conflict with reason and common sense, and to consider some inconvenient truths about America, and its role in the world.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

Voltaire

"Google has been waging a censorship campaign against news organisations that publish content which conflicts with the narrative of the Washington establishment - along with Facebook and Twitter - on the grounds of 'fake news'."

zerohedge.com

"America is the most destructive nation in history. We have overthrown more than 50 foreign governments; we have attempted to assassinate or have assassinated more than 50 foreign leaders; we have bombed more than 35 countries; we have interfered in the elections of dozens of countries."

William Blum, 2016

"If you think any American official is going to tell you the truth, then you're stupid."

Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, to American journalists, 1965

"The United States has a long record of bombing nations, reducing entire neighborhoods, and much of cities, to rubble, wrecking the infrastructure, ruining the lives of those the bombs didn't kill. And afterward doing shockingly little or literally nothing to repair the damage."

General William McCoy, Army Corps of Engineers

"The American 'disease':
1. A monetary system rigged for the banks/corps
2. A military-industrial complex that requires endless war
3. Politicians that are controlled by 1 and 2
4. Media that is complicit with 1, 2 and 3
The rest is 'symptoms'."

MarkGBblog, 2018

"The war against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it."

George Orwell

"American leaders are perhaps not so much immoral as they are amoral. It's not that they take pleasure in causing so much death and suffering. It's that they just don't care. The same that could be said about a sociopath. As long as the death and suffering advance the agenda of the empire, as long as the right people and the right corporations gain wealth and power and privilege and prestige, as long as the death and suffering aren't happening to them or people close to them, then they just don't care about it happening to other people, including the American soldiers. American leaders would not be in the positions they hold if they were bothered by such things."

William Blum

"I hate those men who would send into war youth to fight and die for them; the pride and cowardice of those old men, making their wars that boys must die."

Mary Roberts Rinehart

"'Our boys' are not noble warriors protecting democracy, rescuing maidens, and righting wrongs. They are, like all soldiers, obedient and amoral killers. Pilots bombing Iraq or Syria know they are killing civilians. They do not care. If ordered to bomb Switzerland, they would do it. This is the nature of all armies. Glamorizing this most reprehensible of trades is just a means of usefully stimulating the pack instinct which we often call patriotism."

Fred Reed, 2018

"Democracy is dead in the United States and the forces of tyranny and authoritarianism offer no apologies for their hatred of democracy and the culture of poverty, immiseration, and cruelty that they want to impose on the American people, if not the rest of the world."

Henry Giroux

"I spent thirty-three years in the Marines, most of my time being a hlgh class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1910-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City [Bank] boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the rape of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street.
In China in 1927 l helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
I had a swell racket. l was rewarded with honors, medals, promotions. l might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate a racket in three city districts. The Marines operated on three continents."

General Smedley Butler, former US Marine Corps Commandant, 1935

"The dissenter is every human being at those times of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself."

Archibald Macleish, 1937

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its mighty waters.' The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Every one of us must keep demanding, keep fighting, keep thundering, keep plowing, keep speaking and keep struggling until justice is served. No justice, no peace."

Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) - African-American abolitionist, orator, writer, statesman, former slave

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Hermann Goering - Nazi leader - from Gustave Gilbert's Nuremberg Diary (1947)

WILL FASCISM (TOTALITARIANISM) TRIUMPH IN AMERICA?

IS HEALTHCARE IN THE U.S. CONTROLLED BY A MEDICAL/PHARMA MAFIA?

ARE WHISLEBLOWERS OUR REAL HEROES?

WHY ARE AMERICANS SO IGNORANT?

OUR SCHOOLS AND THE CORPORATE MEDIA HAVE SO DUMBED US DOWN THAT WE NO LONGER RECOGNIZE TRUTH FROM LIES, FACT FROM FICTION.
WE WANT HONEST OBJECTIVE REPORTING FROM TELEVISION NEWS (AS WELL AS NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES AND RADIO), BUT INSTEAD GET BIASED OPINION, MISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA.
IT'S TIME TO TURN OFF THE TUBE, AND SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH - OUTSIDE OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA MATRIX.

"You can either be informed and be your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you."

Julian Assange

"Writing the truth is no way to succeed as an author. Only a small percentage of readers are interested in the truth. Most want their biases or brainwashing vindicated. They want to read what they already believe. It is comforting, reassuring. When their ignorance is confronted, they become angry. The way to be successful as a writer is to pick a group and give them what they want. There is always a market for romance novels and for histories that uphold a country's myths. The single rule for success is to confine truth to what the readership group you serve believes."

Paul Craig Roberts, 2017

"Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education."

Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy (1946)

"The major news media serve at the pleasure of a commercial oligarchy that pays them, and pays them handsomely, for their pretense of speaking truth to power... The prominent figures in our contemporary Washington press corps regard themselves as government functionaries, enabling and codependent."

Lewis H. Lapham

"To maintain power and control over the masses, you deny them education, you deny them information, and you deny them the truth."

Charlie Robinson, 2017

"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed."

Mark Twain

"Americans are too broadly underinformed to digest nuggets of information that seem to contradict what they know of the world. Instead, news channels prefer to feed Americans a constant stream of simplified information, all of which fits what they already know. That way they don't have to devote more air time or newsprint space to explanations or further investigations.
... Politicians and the media have conspired to infantilize, to dumb down, the American public. At heart, politicians don't believe that Americans can handle complex truths, and the news media, especially television news, basically agrees."

Tom Fenton, former CBS foreign correspondent

"Under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."

Albert Einstein, Monthly Review, 1949

"We are all born ignorant, but to stay ignorant is a choice."

Chinese proverb

"The news and the truth are not the same thing."

American journalist Walter Lippmann (1889-1974)

"To repeat what others have said requires education, to challenge it requires brains."

Mary Pettibone Poole

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."

Edward Bernays - the father of American propaganda

"We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth."

Sydney Schanberg

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

Upton Sinclair

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

John Swinton, preeminent New York journalist, at a press banquet,1880

"A populace deprived of the ability to separate lies from truth, is no longer capable of sustaining a free society."

Chris Hedges

"The Japanese pilots who bombed Pearl Harbor were being patriotic. The German people who supported Hitler and his conquests were being patriotic - fighting for the Fatherland. All the Latin American military dictators who overthrew democratically elected governments and routinely tortured people were being patriotic - saving their beloved country from 'communism'."

William Blum

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't."

Anatolie France

"Every human being has to be born ignorant and, for a time, live in ignorance. But if he remains ignorant that is his own fault."

Earl Nightingale

"A nation in which 87 percent of eighteen- to twenty-four year olds (according to a 2002 National Geographic Society/Roper Poll survey) cannot locate Iran or Iraq on a world map and 11 percent cannot locate the United States, is not merely "intellectually sluggish." It would be more accurate to call it moronic, capable of being fooled into believing anything."

Morris Berman in his book "The Twilight of American Culture"

"Nearly a third of the nation's population is illiterate or barely literate. A third of high-school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives, and neither do 42 percent of college graduates. In 2007, 80 percent of the families in the United States did not buy or read a book."

Chris Hedges

"Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn."

Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac (1914)

"There is no such thing as human nature. Human nature is culture. It is a product of education. When you construct an educational system and a public discourse where there is an almost total lack of critical, analytical thinking, where you refuse to strengthen individual human beings capable of autonomous judgment, human beings aware of their experiences and feelings, responsible for their deeds and relationship to the other, you destroy what is fundamental to an open society. It becomes exclusively about collective image, meaning collective narcissism."

Elzbieta Janicka - cultural anthropologist

"In America, we grew up thinking that the people that we see on the nightly news are journalists. But, there is no journalism happening there, only script reading. That is understood by anyone with a sliver of common sense, and the objectivity to realize that their newsperson is basically an actor."

William Blum

"Governments don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking, That is against their interests. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept it."

George Carlin

"The ability to amplify lies, to repeat them and have surrogates repeat them in endless loops of news cycles, gives lies and mythical narratives the aura of uncontested truth.
... When opinions cannot be distinguished from facts, when there is no universal standard to determine truth in law, in science, in scholarship, or in reporting the events of the day, when the most valued skill is the ability to entertain, the world becomes a place where lies become true, where people can believe what they want to believe."

Chris Hedges

"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues, and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else."

H.L. Mencken, journalist

"We want one class of person to have a liberal education. And we want another class, a very, very much larger class of necessity, to forego the privilege of a liberal education, and fit themselves to perform specific, difficult manual tasks."

Woodrow Wilson, former President of the United States, 1914

"The schools are the training ground to create a population that's easy to manage."

John Taylor Gatto

"A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself."

Joseph Pulitzer

"Consumers of news, if fed American-exceptionalism junk food long enough, come to feel at home with it, equate it with objectivity, with getting the truth; it appears neutral and unbiased, like the old comfortable living-room sofa they're sitting on as they watch NBC or CNN. They view the 'alternative media,' with a style rather different from what they're accustomed to, as not being 'objective'."

William Blum

"Civic literacy in the United States is not simply in decline, it is the object of scorn and derision. The corporate controlled media have abandoned even the pretense of holding power accountable and now primarily serve as second rate entertainment venues spouting the virtues of consumerism, greed and American exceptionalism."

Henry Giroux

"As news organizations are increasingly driven by a bottom-line mentality, the news we get becomes more and more sensational. What is the difference between Time and Newsweek? Between ABC, NBC, and CBS News? Between the Washington Post and the New York Times? For all practical purposes, none. The concentration of media power means that Americans increasingly get their information from a few sources who decide what is "news."

Oliver Stone

"It is not at all uncommon to grow to adulthood in the United States, even to graduate from university, and know remarkably little about the exceptionally harmful foreign policy of the government."

William Blum

"Whatever doubts one may have about the West's Fox-CNN-NYTimes-Washington Post propaganda bubble can be dispelled by living outside it, and then going back to the United States and talking to the people. It is frighteningly surreal and shockingly evident how disinformed the overwhelming majority is, not only of the world outside America's boundaries, but in their own backyards. It's only marginally better in Europe. It is not that they are uninformed. It is that they are actively and aggressively disinformed by myriad intentional omissions, wholesale distortions and outright lies, to keep everybody in line with the official Washington-London-Paris narrative."

Jeff J. Brown, 2016

"They don't educate our kids, they indoctrinate our kids. It's a propaganda machine."

Ron Paul

"The mainstream media is a conglomerate of collective corporate thought, designed to make you ignorant and unaware of the realities of the world, of the important issues, and to hide in the shadows the sacredly guarded truths of power. Our mainstream media - the large newspapers, radio and TV news stations - are dominated by billion dollar corporations, whose boards of directors reflect the 'who's who' of the corporate, political, and financial elite, with former government officials, industrialists, and bankers controlling the dispersal of information and the perspectives we are given."

Andrew Gavin Marshall

"Many Americans, whether consciously or unconsciously, actually pride themselves on their ignorance... It's also a source of satisfaction that they have a president - George W. Bush - who's no smarter than they are."

William Blum in his book "Freeing the World to Death"

"Television journalism is largely a farce. Celebrity reporters, masquerading as journalists, make millions a year and give a platform to the powerful and the famous so they can spin, equivocate, and lie.
... It is not one or two reporters or television hosts who are corrupt. The media institutions are corrupt. Many in the media, especially those based in Washington, work shamelessly for our elites."

Chris Hedges

"We have a large public that is very ignorant about public affairs and very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record, but mouth appealing slogans."

Zbigniew Brzezinski

"Most Americans have no idea that what we are fed by the news media is nothing more than a portrayal of what powerful corporations want us to believe, that what happens to pass as education is as often as not mere propaganda, that what we learn in church may have very little or nothing to do with the truth, that what our parents teach us may be nothing more than an accumulation of their own personal biases, no doubt a rather subtle modification of what they were taught by their parents. And through such a process, governments and nations around the world wield control as to what their citizens, believe, value, and do."

Doug Soderstrom

"Americans are wonderfully courteous to strangers, yet indiscriminately shoot kids in schools. They believe they are masters of the world, yet know nothing about what goes on outside their shores. They are people who believe the world stretches from California to Boston and everything outside is the bit they have to bomb to keep the price of oil down. Only one in five Americans hold a passport and the only foreign stories that make their news are floods, famine, and wars, because it makes them feel good to be an American. Feeling good to be American is what they live for. "

Brian Reade, London columnist

"What the press do is they tell you lies, lies they already know you want to hear. The press can figure out what its readers or viewers believe, and make a hell of a living pandering to their egos and telling them that they're smart.

And the audience rewards them, lauding them and paying them money to keep hearing those sweet, self-serving lies."

Allan Uthman

"Germans in the Third Reich and Soviet citizens in the Stalin era had a better idea of their government's agendas than do Americans today. The American people are the most uninformed people in modern history."

Paul Craig Roberts

"People who watch no "news" at all have more knowledge of international affairs than people who watch MSNBC or Fox News."

"In a consumer society, people are concerned not about the world, not about life, not about freedom and democracy. They are concerned about buying things. So, that keeps them distracted, and it ultimately keeps them stupid, and essentially useless, except for serving the function of continuing to consume until they die."

Andrew Gavin Marshall

"The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd. And it's the responsible men who have to make decisions and to protect society from the trampling and rage of the bewildered herd. Now since it's a democracy they - the herd, that is - are permitted occasionally to lend their weight to one or another member of the responsible class. That's called an election."

Noam Chomsky

"In an age of instant emotional gratification, we neither seek nor want honesty or reality. Reality is complicated. Reality is boring. We are incapable or unwilling to handle its confusion. We ask to be indulged and comforted by clichés, stereotypes, and inspirational messages that tell us we can be whoever we seek to be, that we live in the greatest country on earth, that we are endowed with superior moral and physical qualities, and that our future will always be glorious and prosperous, either because of our own attributes or our national character or because we are blessed by God. In this world, all that matters is the consistency of our belief systems."

Chris Hedges

"The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking."

John Kenneth Galbraith

"Americans don't understand that terrorists cannot take away habeas corpus, the Bill of Rights, or the Constitution. Terrorists are not anything like the threat that we face to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution from our own government in the name of fighting terrorism."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Can anyone name a single daily newspaper in the United States that is unequivocally opposed to US foreign policy? Can anyone name a single television network in the United States that is unequivocally opposed to US foreign policy? Is there a single daily newspaper or TV network in the entire United States that has earned the label "opposition media"?"

William Blum

"The media are a pitiful lot. They don't give us any history, they don't give us any analysis, they don't tell us anything. They don't raise the most basic questions: Who has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world by far? Who has used weapons of mass destruction more than any other nation? Who has killed more people in this world with weapons of mass destruction than any other nation? The answer: the United States."

Howard Zinn

"The New York Times is the house organ of the Establishment. It is committed, both editorially and in its presentation of the news, to the interests of an Establishment: continuity, security and legitimacy. Therefore they generally support business and finance, the American version of empire, the government and the president, until, and unless, some excess is so egregious that it poses a threat to continuity, security or legitimacy."

Larry Beinhart

"The main media bias is in favor of the thieves who stole our country and economy, and own the mainstream media companies. The omnipresent mainstream media is the greatest weapon of oppression humanity has ever known."

David DeGraw

"It takes a lot of repetition while an American is growing up to inculcate the message into their young consciousness, and lots more repetition later on. The education of an American true-believer is ongoing, continuous - schoolbooks, comic books, church sermons, Hollywood films, all forms of media, all the time; hardened into historical concrete."

William Blum

"Television, a medium built around the skillful manipulation of images, ones that can overpower reality, is our primary form of mass communication.
... If a person is not seen on television, on some level he or she is not important. Television confers authority and power. It is the final arbitrator for what matters in life."

Chris Hedges

"The main shortcoming of the establishment media lies in errors of omission, much more than errors of commission. It's not that they tell bald lies so much as it is that they leave out parts of stories or entire stories, or historical reminders, which if included might put the issue in a whole new light, in a way not compatible with their political biases."

William Blum

"Thinking is skilled work. It is not true that we are naturally endowed with the ability to think clearly and logically - without learning how or without practicing."

Alfred Mander

"I never saw a foreign intervention that the New York Times did not support, never saw a fare increase or a rent increase or a utility rate increase that it did not endorse, never saw it take the side of labor in a strike or lockout, or advocate a raise for underpaid workers. And don't let me get started on universal health care and Social Security. So why do people think the Times is liberal?"

New York Times reporter John Hess

"Even open-minded people will often find themselves unable to take seriously the likes of Noam Chomsky, Edward Herman, Howard Zinn and Susan George on first encountering their work; it just does not seem possible that we could be so mistaken in what we believe. The individual may assume that these writers must be somehow joking, wildly over-stating the case, paranoid, or have some sort of axe to grind. We may actually become angry with them for telling us these terrible things about our society and insist that this simply 'can't be true'. It takes real effort to keep reading, to resist the reassuring messages of the mass media and be prepared to consider the evidence again."

David Edwards

"Most newspapers are part of huge conglomerates, and the policy that comes down is that you don't rock any boats. You can't make the government upset because the value of the company is the broadcast licenses, and the government will not renew them, and we can't make our corporate owners mad because they will fire us, and we can't make the advertisers mad or they will pull their advertising. So the media can't say anything that will upset the power structure. And that's what has happened to the press."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The flight into illusion sweeps away the core values of the open society. It corrodes the ability to think for oneself, to draw independent conclusions, to express dissent when judgment and common sense tell you something is wrong, to be self-critical, to challenge authority, to grasp historical facts, to advocate for change, and to acknowledge that there are other views, different ways, and structures of being that are morally and socially acceptable. A populace deprived of the ability to separate lies from truth, that has become hostage to the fictional semblance of reality put forth by pseudo-events, is no longer capable of sustaining a free society."

Chris Hedges

"They were astonished to find, after reading the newspapers and watching television, that almost all the opinions on all the vital issues were the same.
One Russian writer asked: 'In our country to get that result we have a dictatorship. We imprison people. We torture them. Here you have none of that. How do you do it? What's the secret?'"

the recounting of a story about Russian writers touring the United States

"Images sent over thousands of miles, well-lit anchors who seem alert to everything of importance taking place in our world, field reporters in far-flung places who pop up and respond instantly to the television anchors and deliver close-up accounts of vital events.
And the same important faces of government leaders who, day after day, are struggling to improve our destiny against great odds, against intransigent enemies of progress.
All this is delivered to us in the space of a few minutes, each night, like clockwork.
The news presents that little show of magic which the people sorely need. The need never dies. It's eternal.
The television anchors can be obvious oafs, hucksters, cheap con artists.
They can twist the truth, burn it, hide it, step on it, reverse it; it doesn't matter."

Jon Rappoport

"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."

Albert Einstein

"Americas don't want to know that all the wars in their country's history were fought because of greed. That Hitler would never have become so powerful without US banks financing his war machine, without Ford and other US corporations supplying equipment, and without IBM organizing his 'work camps'. That Roosevelt precipitated the attack on Pearl Harbor, and knew it was coming. That Truman dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, fully understanding that Japan wanted desperately to surrender. Don't tell them about the sordid history behind the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Don't tell them that all those millions of innocent rice farmers and thousands of American kids died for Wall Street. Don't even mention that Oswald had nothing to do with John Kennedy's execution, nor that Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy Jr., MLK, Malcom X, and Paul Wellstone were slaughtered because they refused to cooperate fully with the US war machine.
Americans don't want to know that the official government explanation of the attacks of 9/11 is perhaps the greatest fairytale since "Alice in Wonderland"."

DID THE AMERICAN 'DEEP STATE' & ISRAEL'S 'MOSSAD'
KILL JOHN KENNEDY ?
John Kennedy / Robert Kennedy / Martin Luther King

WHAT IS THE 'DEEP STATE' ?

"The term 'Deep State' describes a system composed of high-level elements within the intelligence services, military, security, judiciary and organized crime.
... It is a hybrid association of elements of government and parts of top-level finance and industry that is effectively able to govern the United States without reference to the consent of the governed as expressed through the formal political process."

former congressional staff member Mike Lofgren

"The "deep state" refers to a parallel secret government, organized by the intelligence and security apparatus, financed by drugs, and engaging in illicit violence, to protect the interests of the military against threats from intellectuals and the constitutional government.
... The "deep state" is the interface in America between the public, the constitutionally established state, and the deep forces of wealth, power, and violence outside the government."

Peter Dale Scott

"The "deep state" consists of individuals across all elements within and external to the government, who in the aggregate are able to leverage government capabilities while violating, with impunity, all Constitutional checks and balances. Related to this is the matter of funding and reach - if you follow the money, where do you end up? From New York banks to Texas energy to global drugs, there is a criminal network that is above the law and above the state."

Daniel Sheehan

"America's deep state is something of a hybrid creature that operates along a New York to Washington axis.
... The U.S.-style deep state includes key players in the police and intelligence agencies, the military, the treasury and justice departments and in the judiciary. It is structured to materially reward those who play along.
... Even though government is needed to implement desired policies, the banksters comprise the truly essential element, capable of providing genuine rewards for compliance. As corporate interests increasingly own the media, little dissent comes from the Fourth Estate as the process plays out while many of the proliferating Washington think tanks that provide deep state "intellectual" credibility are similarly funded by defense contractors.
... The cross fertilization that is essential to make the deep state system work takes place through the famous revolving door whereby senior government officials enter the private sector at a high level. In some cases the door revolves a number of times, with officials leaving government before returning in an even more elevated position.
This has been characteristic of the rise of the so-called neoconservatives. Along the way, those select individuals are protected, promoted and groomed for bigger things. The senior government officials, ex-generals, and high level intelligence operatives who participate find themselves with multi-million dollar homes for their retirement years, cushioned by a tidy pile of investments."

Philip Giraldi, 2016

"There is an amorphous group of unelected corporate lawyers, bankers, and intelligence and military officials who form an American "deep state," setting real limits on the rare politicians who ever try to get out of line. They collaborate with and nurture their deep state counterparts in other countries, to whom they feel far more loyalty than their fellow citizens. The minions of the deep state hate and fear even the mildest moves towards democracy, and fight against it by any means available to them. They're not all-powerful and don't get exactly what they want, but on the issues that matter most they almost always win in the end. And while all this is mostly right there in the open, discernible by anyone who's curious and has a library card, if you don't go looking you will never hear a single word about it."

Jon Schwarz

"John Stuart Mills wrote in his 1956 masterpiece The Power Elite, that America was ruled by those who control the "strategic command posts" of society-the big corporations, the machinery of the state, and the military establishment. These dominant cliques were drawn together by their deep mutual stake in the "permanent war economy" that had emerged during the Cold War.
Though political tensions could flare within the power elite, Mills wrote, there was a remarkable unity of purpose among these ruling groups. The top corporate executives, government leaders, and high-ranking military officers moved fluidly in and out of one another's worlds, exchanging official roles, socializing in the same clubs, and educating their children at the same exclusive schools.
... Within this system of American power, Mills saw corporate chiefs as the first among equals. Long interlocked with the federal government, corporate leaders came to dominate the "political directorate" during World War II. The United States had largely become a democracy in form only. More than half of a century before the John Roberts-era Supreme Court that legally sanctioned corporate control of the electoral process."

David Talbot

"The "Deep State" is a parallel secret government, organized by a covert faction of the intelligence agencies, operated by a splinter cell of the United States military-industrial complex, financed through both the major banks, and the sale of illegal drugs, weapons, and human trafficking. They are international in their reach, owe no allegiance to any particular country, and are unbelievably ruthless in the protection of their interests."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"The Deep State has a life of its own, like the government itself. It's composed of top-echelon employees of a dozen Praetorian agencies, like the FBI, CIA, and NSA, top generals, admirals, and other military operatives, long-term congressmen, senators, and directors of important regulatory agencies. But Deep State is much broader than just the government. It includes the heads of major corporations, all of whom are heavily involved in selling to the State and enabling it. That absolutely includes Silicon Valley, although those guys at least have a sense of humor, evidenced by their "Don't Be Evil" motto. It also includes all the top people in the Fed, and the heads of all the major banks, brokers, and insurers. Add the presidents and many professors at top universities, which act as Deep State recruiting centers, all the top media figures, of course, and many regulars at things like Bohemian Grove and the Council on Foreign Relations. They epitomize the status quo, held together by power, money, and propaganda."

Doug Casey, financial analyst

"There is another government - a Deep State - concealed behind the one that is visible at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, a hybrid entity of public and private institutions, ruling the country according to consistent patterns in season and out, connected to, but only intermittently controlled by, the visible state whose leaders we choose."

former congressional staff member Mike Lofgren

"The forces dominating both political parties are now so powerful, so affluent, and above all so invested in the profits from war-making, that a president is farther than ever from challenging this power."

Peter Dale Scott

"Wall Street may be the ultimate owner of the Deep State and its strategies, if for no other reason than that it has the money to reward government operatives with a second career that is lucrative beyond the dreams of avarice - certainly beyond the dreams of a salaried government employee."

former congressional staff member Mike Lofgren

"The deep state wins no matter who is in power by creating bipartisan-supported money pits within the system. Unending wars and simmering though hard to define threats together invite more spending on national security and make for good business. Monetizing the completely unnecessary and hideously expensive global war on terror benefits the senior government officials, beltway industries and financial services that feed off it. Because it is essential to keep the money flowing, the deep state persists in promoting policies that otherwise make no sense, to include the unwinnable wars currently enjoying marquee status in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. The deep state knows that a fearmongered public will buy its product and does not even have to make much of an effort to sell it."

Philip Giraldi, 2016

"CIA Director Leon Panetta advised Obama that "no Democratic president can go against military advice. So just do it. Do what they say"."

Peter Dale Scott

"The money launderers, drug dealers, killers and crooks are the only entities able to operate outside of societal laws and mores. The Controllers: international bankers, heads of multinational corporations, and top ranking members of secret societies use their "implementers" to carry out their decisions. Politicians are one of the "guises" used in front of the scenes, while the CIA, Mossad, and the Mob take care of their dirty dealings far removed from public scrutiny. This is the way our world operates."

Michael Collins Piper

"The long-time tendency of business and government to become more intricately and deeply involved with each other has now reached a new point of explicitness. The two cannot now be seen clearly as two distinct worlds."

John Stuart Mills in his book The Power Elite

"One factor linking Dallas, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11, has been the involvement of personnel involved in America's highest-level emergency planning, known since the 1950s as Continuity of Government (COG).
This planning group is one part of the American deep state, along with agencies like the CIA and NSA, the private groups like Booz Allen Hamilton to which more than half of the US intelligence budget is outsourced, and finally the powerful banks and corporations whose views are well represented in the CIA and NSA."

Peter Dale Scott

"The United States of America is not exactly deep-state-Turkey, but any democracy can be subverted by particular interests hiding behind the mask of patriotism buttressed by phony international threats. Ordinary Americans frequently ask why politicians and government officials appear to be so obtuse, rarely recognizing what is actually occurring in the country. That is partly due to the fact that the political class lives in a bubble of its own creation but it might also be because many of America's leaders actually accept and benefit from the fact that there is an unelected, unappointed and unaccountable presence within the system that actually manages what is taking place from behind the scenes. That would be the American deep state."

Philip Giraldi, 2016

"All complex societies have an establishment, a social network committed to its own enrichment and perpetuation."

former congressional staff member Mike Lofgren

"Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were a part of the permanent, though hidden, national security apparatus of the United States, inhabitants of a world in which Presidents come and go, but America always keeps on fighting."

Peter Dale Scott

WHAT IS ISRAEL'S 'MOSSAD' ?

"Israel's Mossad is quite possibly the most ruthless and efficient intelligence agency in the world."

Victor Thorn, 2003

"It is interesting, but not surprising, to note that in all the words written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israel's intelligence service agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned. And yet a Mossad motive is obvious. On this question, as on almost all others, American reporters cannot bring themselves to cast Israel in an unfavorable light -despite the fact that Mossad complicity is as plausible as any of the other theories."

US Congressman Paul Findley, March 1992

"In 1951 Sir William Stephenson of M16, restructured the [Israeli intelligence agency] Mossad into a single unit as an arm of the Political Department of the Israeli Foreign Office and assigned the task of conducting intelligence gathering. It was also given the job carrying out "black job" operations.
... All Mossad agents, operate on a war-time footing. The Mossad has a tremendous advantage over other intelligence services in that every country in the world has a large Jewish community, which is useful.
The Mossad also has the advantage of having access to the records of all U.S. law enforcement agencies and U.S. intelligence services. The office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) services the Mossad at no cost to Israel.
... The Mossad has a skillful disinformation service. The amount of disinformation it feeds to the American "market" is embarrassing, but even more embarrassing is how America swallows hook, line and sinker such propaganda."

John Coleman in his book "The Committee of 300"

"This is our final judgment: the government of Israel, through its secret spy agency, the Mossad, orchestrated the conspiracy that ended the life of John F. Kennedy.
Through its own vast resources and through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the motive, and it had the opportunity to carry out the crime of the century - and did."

Michael Collins Piper in his book "Final Judgment"

"British intelligence reported [February 2002] that the Israeli Mossad ran the Arab hijacker cells that were later blamed by the U.S. government's 9/11 Commission for carrying out the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001.
... Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert personally interceded with New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to have released from prison five Urban Moving Systems employees, identified by the CIA and FBI agents as Mossad agents.
... The five Israelis were the only suspects arrested - anywhere in the United States on 9/11 - who were thought to have been involved in the 9/11 attacks.
... For Mossad, the successful 9/11 terrorist "false flag" operation was a success beyond expectations. The Bush administration, backed by the Blair government, attacked and occupied Iraq, deposing Saddam Hussein, and turned up pressure on Israel's other adversaries, including Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Hamas, and Lebanese Hezbollah.
... Then-Israeli Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu commented on the 9/11 attacks on U.S. television shortly after they occurred. Netanyahu said: "It is very good!" It now appears that Netanyahu, in his zeal, blew Mossad's cover as the masterminds of 9/11."

Wayne Madsen, 2017

"Israeli agents [Mossad] planted firebombs in American installations in Egypt in 1954 in an attempt to undermine relations between Nasser and the United States; Israel murdered 34 American servicemen in a deliberate attack on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967; Israeli espionage, most notably Jonathan Pollard's spying, has done tremendous damage to American interests; five Mossad agents were filming and celebrating as the Twin Towers collapsed on September 11, 2001; Tel Aviv and its accomplices in Washington were the source of the false pre-war intelligence on Iraq."

Maidhc Cathail. 2010

"There has been since almost the earliest days of the Israeli state and the earliest days of the CIA a secret bond, basically by which Israeli intelligence did jobs for the CIA and for the rest of American intelligence. You can't understand what's been going on with American covert operations and the Israeli covert operations until you understand this secret arrangement."

journalist Andrew Cockburn

"Israel's Mossad was a primary (and critical) behind the scenes player in the conspiracy that ended the life of JFK. Through its own vast resources and through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the opportunity, and it had the motive to play a major frontline role in the crime of the century - and it did."

Michael Collins Piper in his book "Final Judgment"

"In carrying out its mission to collect positive intelligence, the principal function of the Mossad is to conduct agent operations against the Arab nations and their official representatives and installations throughout the world, particularly in Western Europe and the United States.
... Objectives in Western countries are equally important to the Israeli intelligence service. The Mossad collects intelligence regarding Western, Vatican, and UN policies toward the Near East; promotes arms deals for the benefit of the IDF; and acquires data for silencing anti-Israel factions in the West.
... Mossad activities are generally conducted through Israeli official and semiofficial establishments - deep cover enterprises in the form of firms and organizations, some especially created for, or adaptable to, a specific objective - and penetrations effected within non-Zionist national and international Jewish organizations... Official organizations used for cover are: Israeli purchasing missions and Israeli government tourist offices, El Al, and Zim offices. Israeli construction firms, industrial groups and international trade organizations also provide nonofficial cover. Individuals working under deep or illegal cover are normally charged with penetrating objectives that require a long-range, more subtle approach, or with activities in which the Israeli government can never admit complicity."

1979 CIA analysis titled 'Israel: Foreign Intelligence and Security Services'

"For the past 20 years, a large and growing component of Dope, Inc. has been the combined machinery of gangster Meyer Lansky and the Israeli Mossad."

DOPE, INC., Executive Intelligence Review, 1992

"The Israeli Mossad has a fearsome reputation for ruthlessness second only to the old Russian KGB. The Israeli intelligence services are known for their boldness and their buccaneering tactics... however, the Mossad has lately gone in for assassinations on foreign soil... This is nothing new for the Israelis: picking off their enemies on foreign soil is a longtime favorite sport of the Mossad."

Justin Raimondo, 2010

"Mossad wants to do everything possible to preserve a state of war between Israel and its neighbors."

US Congressman Paul Findley, March 1992

"New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison had decided - based on the entirety of everything that he had learned from a wide variety of sources - that the most likely masterminds of the JFK assassination were operatives of Israel's intelligence service, the Mossad."

Michael Collins Piper

"For years the tentacles of the Israeli Secret Service had reached out into all walks of American life.
...This influence extended into the U.S. [House] and the Senate, the Pentagon, the defense and electronic industries, the research laboratories and such Jewish-oriented organizations as the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Defense Committee, Bonds for Israel and the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies.
Some of these bodies have served as fronts for intelligence-gathering and there are few of the important congressional committees which do not possess one member or staff-assistant who does not feed the Israeli network relevant material."

Richard Deacon, intelligence historian, in his history of israel's Mossad

WHO KILLED PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY?

"In the summer of 1963, the leaders of the military-industrial complex could see storm clouds on their horizon. After JFK's American University address and his quick signing of the Test Ban Treaty with Khrushchev, corporate power holders saw the distinct prospect in the not distant future of a settlement in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
... In the direction of U.S.-Soviet disarmament lay the diminished power of a corporate military system that for years had controlled the United States government. In his turn toward peace, Kennedy was beginning to undermine the dominant power structure that Eisenhower had finally identified and warned against so strongly as he left the White House."

James Douglass in his book book "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters"

"The Warren Commission had no choice but to cover up that a popular American president, John F. Kennedy, had been murdered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the Secret Service, because he was believed by paranoid anti-communists to be "soft on communism" and thereby a threat to the security of the United States. The cold war was on, and the Warren Commission could not hold those responsible accountable without destroying the public's confidence in the American military and security services."

Paul Craig Roberts

"JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. His assassins included networks of Allen Dulles' CIA, including a then-young CIA agent named G.H.W. Bush; elements of the Mafia around New Orleans mafia boss Carlos Marcello; elements of the Dallas Police; mafia-CIA-linked gangster night club owner, Jack Ruby; Texan political boss, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson; networks of the Pentagon. The only one who was innocent was the one Ruby rubbed out to silence him: Lee Harvey Oswald."

F. William Engdahl

"Nearly a century after Lincoln was assassinated for issuing Greenbacks, President John F. Kennedy found himself in the crosshairs. Kennedy had announced a crackdown on off-shore tax havens and proposed increases in tax rates on large oil and mining companies. He supported eliminating tax loopholes which benefit the super-rich. His economic policies were publicly attacked by Fortune magazine, the Wall Street Journal and both David and Nelson Rockefeller. Even Kennedy's own Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, who came from the UBS Warburg-controlled Dillon Read investment bank, voiced opposition to the JFK proposals.
Kennedy's fate was sealed in June 1963 when he authorized the issuance of more than $4 billion in United States Notes by his Treasury Department in an attempt to circumvent the high interest rate usury of the private Federal Reserve international banker crowd."

Dean Henderson in his book "Big Oil & Their Bankers In The Persian Gulf"

"New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison had decided - based on the entirety of everything that he had learned from a wide variety of sources - that the most likely masterminds of the JFK assassination were operatives of Israel's intelligence service, the Mossad."

Michael Collins Piper

"An Assassination Bureau exists in the United States and Europe and carries out high-level assassinations where all other remedies have failed. One such bureau called PERMINDEX ran the on-the-ground Kennedy assassination under the direction of Sir William Stephenson, for years the Queen of England's leading "pest controller."
... The FBI, Secret Service and CIA knew exactly how to strip President Kennedy of his security motorcycle detail and make it easy for the three PERMINDEX shooters to murder him in Dealey Plaza in November of 1963."

John Coleman in his book "The Committee of 300: The Conspirator's Hierarchy", 2006

"By the end of 1962, the national security establishment in Washington D.C., which had quickly come to know JFK as a skeptic during 1961, had come to view him as a heretic; and by November of 1963, the month he was assassinated, they no doubt considered him an apostate, for he no longer supported most of the so-called "orthodox" views of the Cold War priesthood.
... The national security establishment wanted to turn the Cold War against the USSR into a hot war, so that the U.S. could inflict punishing and fatal blows upon its Communist adversaries on the battlefield. It was this desire for hot war by so many within the national security establishment - their belief that conventional proxy wars with the Soviet Bloc were an urgent necessity, and that nuclear war with the USSR was probably inevitable - to which President Kennedy was so adamantly opposed. And it was JFK's profound determination to avoid nuclear war by miscalculation, and to avoid combat with conventional arms unless it was truly necessary, that separated him from almost everyone else in his administration from 1961 throughout 1963."

Douglas P. Horne, 2014

"To the power brokers of the system that President Kennedy ostensibly presided over, his and Khrushchev's turn toward peace was, a profound threat... As the Cold War elite knew, Kennedy was already preparing to withdraw from Vietnam. They feared he would soon be able to carry out a U.S. withdrawal from the war with public support, as one part of a wider peacemaking venture with Khrushchev, and perhaps even Castro."

James Douglass in his book book "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters"

"At a meeting called to order in Dallas, Texas by J. Edgar Hoover at Clint Murchinson's house on November 21, 1963, the eve of the JFK assassination, the attendees included, among others:
J. Edgar Hoover (Head of the FBI, next door neighbor of LBJ, racist and Jew hater, and friend of mobster Frank Costello), Clint Murchinson (Texan oil Baron, racist and Jew hater but still a business partner of Myer Lansky, and acknowledged Kennedy hater), H.L. Hunt (financier of rabid right-wing fanatic causes, racist and Jew hater, Texas Oil Baron, and Kennedy Hater), John J. McCloy (Washington Lobbyist/Fixer and later to be appointed member of the Warren Commission investigating the JFK assassination), Allen Dulles (ex-head of the CIA, fired by JFK in the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and soon to be appointee to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of JFK), John Connally (ex-Secretary of the Navy, ex-Governor of Texas and close friend and confidant of LBJ), General Charles Cabell (Deputy Director of the CIA fired by JFK after the Bay of Pigs fiasco), and his brother Earle Cabell (the Mayor of Dallas at the time of the assassination), Richard Nixon (defeated by JFK for the U.S. Presidency, and avowed Kennedy hater), and soon-to-be-sworn-in-as-President Vice President Lyndon Johnson.
Would someone please give me an innocent explanation for such a meeting in Dallas of all of these Kennedy haters on the eve before his assassination?"

Daniel Sheehan

"Mr. Lane [the attorney representing E. Howard Hunt] was asking us [the jury] to do something very difficult. He was asking us to believe John Kennedy had been killed by our own government. Yet when we examined the evidence closely, we were compelled to conclude that the CIA had indeed killed President Kennedy."

juror Leslie Armstrong told The Spotlight newspaper in their November 11, 1991 issue [E. Howard Hunt vs. The Spotlight newspaper]

"The final judgment is inescapable ... Israel was indeed the driving force behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The role of Israel was the unsuspected "missing link" in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
... This is our final judgment: the government of Israel, through its secret spy agency, the Mossad, orchestrated the conspiracy that ended the life of John F. Kennedy.
Through its own vast resources and through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the motive, and it had the opportunity to carry out the crime of the century - and did.
... Israel's worldwide connections-particularly with the anti-Kennedy forces within the CIA and the CIA-linked Lansky crime empire, along with the French OAS rebels and Charles DeGaulle's enemies within his own intelligence service - made possible the network through which the plan to kill JFK was carried out. Permindex was in the center of it all."

Michael Collins Piper in his book "Final Judgment"

"In his deepening alienation from the CIA, the Pentagon, and big business, John Kennedy was moving consciously beyond the point of no return. Kennedy knew well the complicity that existed among the Cold War's corporate elite, Pentagon planners, and the heads of 'intelligence agencies'."
... We have no evidence as to who in the military-industrial complex may have given the order to assassinate President Kennedy. That the order was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency is obvious. The CIA's fingerprints are all over the crime and the events leading up to it."

James Douglass in his book book "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters"

"President John F. Kennedy had experienced in the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer a high level of insubordination... When Lemnitzer brought Kennedy the Northwoods Project to shoot down American citizens in the streets of America and to blow American airliners out of the sky in order to place the blame on Castro so that the US could invade and achieve "regime change", President Kennedy removed Lemnitzer as chairman and sent him to Europe as head of NATO.Kennedy did not know about Operation Gladio, an assassination program in Europe run by NATO and the CIA. Communists were blamed for Operation Gladio's bombings of civilians in train stations in order to erode communist political influence, especially in Italy. Thus, Kennedy's way of getting rid of Lemnitzer put Lemnitzer in charge of this program and gave Lemnitzer a way to get rid of John Kennedy."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Intelligence, government, and organized crime interests are intimately connected and operate outside the law (and public scrutiny) to preserve and promote their self-interests. Regrettably, they all joined forces in 1963 to eliminate the last American president who wasn't bought, sold, and controlled by the Globalist money interests."

Michael Collins Piper

WHO KILLED MARTIN LUTHER KING?

"The only trial ever held for for Martin Luther King's murder took place in Memphis, Tennessee, only a few blocks from the Lorraine Motel where King was killed. In a wrongful death lawsuit initiated by the King family, seventy witnesses testified over a six-week period. They described a sophisticated government plot that involved the FBI, the CIA, the Memphis Police, Mafia intermediaries, and an Army Special Forces sniper team. The twelve jurors, six black and six white, returned after two and one-half hours of deliberation with a verdict that King had been assassinated by a conspiracy that included agencies of his own government."

James Douglass in his book book "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters"

"We must mark Martin Luther King now as the most dangerous Negro in the future of this Nation."

William C. Sullivan, Assistant Director of FBI wrote to J. Edgar Hoover, 1963

"The blame for the assassination of Martin Luther King should be laid squarely on the shoulders of agents of the government of the United States in collaboration with Memphis operatives of the Marcello criminal organization.
As horrifying as that fact is, it gets worse when one realizes the extent of the military's involvement, from the coordination of the flow of events down to the last detail, including the selection of the back-up team by the head of the 902nd Military Intelligence Group. Even prior to the assassination, the use of military intelligence to spy on Dr King and other Americans, leading to other army sharpshooter actions against targeted civilians, makes it clear that for a half century or more the military have been heavily involved in the domestic affairs and life of the nation. Very few people at the time knew, or even now know, the extent of this involvement. It is only in retrospect that we begin to get a glimpse of how widespread this activity was in the 1960s."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"When Martin King began to crusade against the Vietnam war, he would cast a long shadow over the economic forces of America. Little wonder that they shuddered at the possibility that his efforts might result in the tap of the free-flowing profits being turned off. Should the American people come to demand an end to the war and should the war end, the losses were not something they could accept.
Perhaps it was for this reason alone that King had to be stopped."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"In December 1963, less than a month after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, FBI officials met in Washington to explore ways of "neutralizing King as an effective Negro leader.
... A massive FBI campaign was under way from 1964 aimed at destroying Martin Luther King through dirty tricks and media manipulation.
... In January 1979, the House Select Committee published its final report on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin King. It found no evidence or complicity on the part of the CIA, the FBI, or any other government agency in the assassination of Martin King."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"Warren and Murphy [aliases of Army Special Forces soldiers] ... were part of an eight-man "Operation Detachment Alpha 184 team - a Special Forces field training team in specialized civilian disguise.
... Warren and Murphy stated that the team was specifically briefed before departing from Camp Shelby for Memphis at 4:30 AM on the morning of April 4 1968. During the half-hour session the team was left in no doubt as to its mission. On the order they were to shoot to kill - "body mass" (center, chest cavity) - Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the Reverend Andrew Young.
They were shown "target acquisition photos" of the two men and the Lorraine Motel. The team's pep talk stressed how they were enemies of the United States who were determined to bring down the government. Warren said that no one on the team had any hesitancy about killing the two "sacks of shit."
... Warren recognized his target, Andrew Young, putting on his coat, and took aim, holding him in his sights... Warren kept Andy Young in the cross hairs of his scope, and then, he said, a shot rang out.
It sounded like a military weapon, and Warren assumed that the other sniper unit had jumped the gun and fired too soon because the plan was always for a simultaneous shooting [of Martin Luther King and Andrew Young]... the team leader came on and ordered the team to disengage in an orderly fashion and follow the egress routes assigned to them out of South Memphis."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"In 1999, the Martin Luther King family brought a wrongful death lawsuit in a Tennessee Circuit Court. A nearly month-long trial ensued. Seventy witnesses were called. It took the jury only two and a half hours to come back with a verdict that Dr. King was assassinated by a conspiracy that included agencies of his own government."

Jesse Ventura in the book "American Conspiracies"

"In 1999, the King family took the case of Martin Luther King's assassination to civil court. They proved, and the jury verdict confirmed, that Martin Luther King had been assassinated by a conspiracy of the FBI, military intelligence, and the Memphis Poiice Department. The decision to assassinate King was decided upon because he had begun speaking out against the Vietnam War, against the American empire, and against poverty in the form of his massive national antipoverty campaign."

WHO KILLED ROBERT KENNEDY?

"JFK [John Kennedy] , Malcolm [X], Martin [Luther King], and [RFK [Robert Kennedy] were four proponents of change who were murdered by shadowy intelligence agencies using intermediaries and scapegoats under the cover of 'plausible deniability'."

James Douglass in his book book "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters"

"The Kennedy years saw a continual conflict between the military and intelligence circles and the civilian leadership of John Kennedy. His brief term as President was marked by a constant struggle to prevent the military and intelligence services of America _ particularly the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CIA _ from starting wars with Cuba, Vietnam and the Soviet Union. The Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved only after Robert Kennedy, JFK's brother and the Attorney General, convinced the Russians that Kennedy was at risk of being overthrown in a military coup, which would result in a direct nuclear war against the USSR."

Andrew Gavin Marshall, Global Research , 2011

"Our collective denial of the obvious, in the setting up of Lee Harvey Oswald and his transparent silencing by Ruby, made possible the Dallas cover-up of the JFK assassination. The success of the cover-up was the indispensable foundation for the subsequent murders of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy by the same forces at work in our government - and in ourselves. Hope for change in the world was targeted and killed four times over. The cover-up of all four murders, each leading into the next, was based, first of all, on denial - not the government's but our own."

James Douglass in his book book "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters"

"John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert ... were hated viscerally by their enemies... Their political enemies on the right felt that their risk-taking aggressiveness was reckless and their idealism was putting the country at risk of being overcome by its Communist enemies. Their enemies in the Mafia, who felt they had been ambushed by John and Robert, after having helped their father get them elected in 1960, thought they had been used and abused by them. The oilmen of Texas had given at least partial support for the Democratic ticket because of Johnson's presence, but then felt they were being double-crossed as well."

Phillip F. Nelson in his book "LBJ: The Mastermind of JFK's Assassination"

"John and Robert Kennedy had become notorious in the ranks of big business. JFK's strategy of withdrawing defense contracts and RFK's aggressive investigating tactics toward men of power were seen as unforgivable sins by the corporate world. As a result of the president's uncompromising stand against the steel industry - and implicitly any corporation that chose to defy his authority - a bitter gap opened up between Kennedy and big business, whose most powerful elements coincided with the military-industrial complex."

James W. Douglass in his book "JFK and the Unspeakable"

WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 9/11 WORLD TRADE CENTER AND PENTAGON ATTACKS?
ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? / SAUDI ARABIA CONNECTION? / ISRAEL MOSSAD CONNECTION?

"For those Americans who accept the official interpretation of the event, 9/11 was a surprise attack on the US government and its people by Islamic terrorists.
For some Americans, "9/11" has a more complex meaning. This second group, while accepting the official interpretation of the attacks, thinks of 9/11 primarily as an event that was used opportunistically by the Bush administration to extend the American empire.
For a third group of Americans, the term "9/11" connotes an event with a more sinister dimension. These citizens believe that the Bush administration knew the attacks were coming and intentionally let them happen.
According to a fourth view of 9/11, the attacks were not merely foreknown by the Bush administration; they were orchestrated by it."

"9/11 and American Empire : Intellectuals Speak Out"
edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott

"There is persuasive evidence that the events of September 11, 2001 did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe... All three buildings that were destroyed in the World Trade Center were most probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed in the buildings before 9/11."

William Bill Christison, a 29-year CIA veteran

"Naive people think that if the US government's explanation of 9/11 was wrong, physicists and engineers would all speak up. Some have. However, for most physicists and engineers this would be an act of suicide. Physicists owe their careers to government grants, and their departments are critically dependent on government funding. A physicist who speaks up essentially ends his university career... An engineering firm that spoke out would never again be awarded a government contract. In addition, its patriotic, flag-waving customers would regard the firm as a terrorist apologist and cease to do business with it."

Paul Craig Roberts

"British intelligence reported [February 2002] that the Israeli Mossad ran the Arab hijacker cells that were later blamed by the U.S. government's 9/11 Commission for carrying out the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001.
... Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert personally interceded with New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to have released from prison five Urban Moving Systems employees, identified by the CIA and FBI agents as Mossad agents.
... The five Israelis were the only suspects arrested - anywhere in the United States on 9/11 - who were thought to have been involved in the 9/11 attacks.
... For Mossad, the successful 9/11 terrorist "false flag" operation was a success beyond expectations. The Bush administration, backed by the Blair government, attacked and occupied Iraq, deposing Saddam Hussein, and turned up pressure on Israel's other adversaries, including Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Hamas, and Lebanese Hezbollah.
... Then-Israeli Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu commented on the 9/11 attacks on U.S. television shortly after they occurred. Netanyahu said: "It is very good!" It now appears that Netanyahu, in his zeal, blew Mossad's cover as the masterminds of 9/11."

Wayne Madsen, 2017

"All three buildings of the World Trade Center were destroyed by carefully planned, orchestrated and executed controlled demolition."

Professor Lynn Margulis, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

*There were stand-down orders on 9/11. The US Air force did not intervene. There was a cover-up of the WTC and Pentagon investigations. The WTC rubble was removed before it could be examined. The plane debris at the Pentagon is unaccounted for. There were reports of significant financial gains made as a result of 9/11, from insider trading in the days prior to 9/11. Mystery surrounds WTC Building 7, which collapsed or was "pulled" down in the afternoon of September 11, 2001."

Michel Chossudovsky in his book " America's War on Terrorism"

"The official explanation of the events of 9/11 is false and the evidence indicating an inside job is significant."

Catherine Austin Fitts, former Assistant Housing Secretary in the George H W Bush administration
 
 
"The press is saying what they have been told to say... the stories about 9/11 are false... You take a look at the buildings falling down. They didn't fall down because airplanes hit them; they fell down because explosives went off, demolitions. Look at building 7. It didn't fall to its side; it didn't fall in this direction of that direction. Just like the two towers... What is it they do not want the public to know?"

Major General Albert Stubblebine,
retired Commanding General of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command - speaking to a reporter in Germany about 9/11

"The factual arguments clearly establish the possibility of controlled demolition of the WTC buildings on September 11, 2001, yet, there is almost zero coverage in the corporate media in the US. This is top down corporate censorship pure and simple. Even if other scientists can be found to disagree with the study, the policy of ignoring the topic inside the corporate media is relatively absolute... Perhaps the mainstream science journalists left their critical thinking skills at home and gave the scientific method the day off. Or maybe the real conspiracy exists within the boardrooms of the corporate mainstream media."

Peter Phillips, Professor of Sociology at Sonoma State University

"I have had a lot of experience looking at photographs. l don't know exactly what hit it the Pentagon but I do know from the photographs I have analyzed, it was not an airplane. For one thing, if you look at the hole that was made in the Pentagon, the nose penetrated far enough so that there should have been wing marks on the side of the building.
... Whenever there's a plane crash, things are strewn about. So where are the seats, the luggage? The wings, vertical stabilizers, and engines were never fully recovered. A number of parts to a 757 are pretty much indestructible, but not a single piece has ever been positively identified as originating with Flight 77.
... With all the evidence readily available at the Pentagon crash site, any unbiased, rational investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757 did not fly into the Pentagon as alleged. In all my years of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft - and in most cases the precise cause of the accident."

Major General Albert Stubblebine, retired Commanding General of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command

"After 9/11, not a single employee at the FAA or NORAD got punished. In fact, all the major military men involved received promotions."

Jesse Ventura in the book "American Conspiracies"

"America's fate was sealed when the public and the anti-war movement bought the government's 9/11 conspiracy theory. The government's account of 9/11 is contradicted by much evidence. Nevertheless, this defining event of our time, which has launched the U.S. on interminable wars of aggression and a domestic police state, is a taboo topic for investigation in the media."

Paul Craig Roberts

"When you are a patriot, you don't question the motivation of the CIA or the White House. You assume the bigger purpose is for a greater good. They pick good, loyal people like me.
... WTC 7 was a classic controlled demolition with explosives. We used super-fine military grade nanothermite composite materials as explosives. The hard part was getting thousands of pounds of explosives, fuses and ignition mechanisms into the building without causing too much concern. But almost every single office in the Building 7 was rented by the CIA, the Secret Service, or the military, which made it easier.
... When the building came down, it was such a rush. Everything went exactly to plan. It was so smooth. Everybody was evacuated. Nobody was hurt in WTC 7. We were celebrating. We kept watching replays of the demolition, we had the whiskey and cigars out, and then all of a sudden the strangest thing happened. We all started to worry that it looked a bit too smooth. We watched the tape again and again and again and we started to get paranoid. It looked like a controlled demolition. We thought shit, people are going to question this. And then we heard that people from the street were reporting that they heard the explosions during the afternoon. When we were told that the BBC botched their report and announced to the world that the building collapsed 20 minutes before it actually did At that point we really thought the gig was up.
... There were so many loose ends, so much evidence left behind. We thought the public would be all over it. We thought there would be a public uprising that the media couldn't ignore. They'd be funding investigations and demanding to know why they were being lied to. We thought they'd find chemical composites in the area that would prove Building 7 was blown up.
"We thought there would be a revolution. It would go all the way to the top, to President Bush. He'd be dragged out of the White House.
"But none of that happened. Almost nobody questioned anything. The media shot down anyone who dared question anything they were told.
... There could never be a real investigation of 9/11. The entire shadow government, as you call them now, are implicated.
... They will use the media to attack me. They are all on the payroll to suppress everything around 9/11."

THE GLOBAL POWER ELITE & THE "GREAT RESET"

THE FALSE MEDIA NARRATIVE:

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DEFEND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED STATES AND ARE COMMITTED TO PRESERVING AMERICA AND STRENGTHENING THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

THE REALITY:

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE THE PROPAGANDA ARM OF A GLOBAL OLIGARCHY. THEY ARE PART OF THE FINANCIAL-CORPORATE-TECH-MILITARY-SURVEILLANCE-GOVERNMENT-MEDIA COMPLEX -- OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE "DEEP STATE".

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S JOB IS TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THAT THE IDEAS OF THE GLOBAL ELITE ARE IN THEIR BEST INTEREST, AND TO CONCEAL HOW THE GLOBAL OLIGARCHY PLANS TO DESTROY AMERICA AND RAVAGE LIVES IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.

"The plan for an overhaul of the world is the brainchild of an elite group of businessmen, politicians, and their intellectual entourage that meet in Davos, Switzerland, in January each year. Brought into existence in 1971, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has become a megaglobal event since then. More than three thousand leaders from all over the world attended the meeting in 2020.
Under the guidance of the WEF, the agenda of the Great Reset says that the completion of the current industrial transformation requires a thorough overhaul of the economy, politics, and society.
... The consensus has emerged at the annual Davos meetings that the world needs a revolution, and that reforms have taken too long. The members of the WEF envision a profound upheaval at short notice. The time span should be so brief that most people will hardly realize that a revolution is going on. The change must be so swift and dramatic that those who recognize that a revolution is happening do not have the time to mobilize against it.
... Projects like the Great Reset leave unanswered the question of who rules the state. The state itself does not rule. It is an instrument of power. It is not the abstract state that decides, but the leaders of specific political parties and of certain social groups.
Earlier totalitarian regimes needed mass executions and concentration camps to maintain their power. Now, with the help of new technologies, it is believed, dissenters can easily be identified and marginalized. The nonconformists will be silenced by disqualifying divergent opinions as morally despicable.
... The 2020 lockdown worked as if it had been orchestrated - and perhaps it was. As if following a single command, the leaders of big and small nations - and of different stages of economic development - implemented almost identical measures. Not only did many governments act in unison, they also applied these measures with little regard for the horrific consequences of a global lockdown.
Months of economic stillstand have destroyed the economic basis of millions of families. Together with social distancing, the lockdown has produced a mass of people unable to care for themselves. First, governments destroyed the livelihood, then the politicians showed up as the savior.
... The lockdown and its consequences have brought a foretaste what is to come: a permanent state of fear, strict behavioral control, massive loss of jobs, and growing dependence on the state."

Anthony Mueller, 2020

"The global elite who meet every year at Davos, Switzerland have little need for national loyalty. They view national boundries as obstacles, that are vanishing, and they see national governments as residues from the past, whose only useful function is to facilitate the elites global operations."

Samuel Huntington

"The World Economic Forum's (WEF) agenda matches goals set out by the United Nations Agenda 2030.
In the future, the less-developed world will not rise to the developed, rather the other way, as advanced civilizations must go down to their living standards to become 'sustainable'."

TOTT News, 2020

"The lockdown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the implementation of long-held plans to establish a new world order. Under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), global policymakers are advocating for a "Great Reset" with the intent of creating a global technocracy.
A consensus has emerged at the annual WEF/Davos meetings that the world needs a revolution, and that reforms have taken too long. The members of the WEF envision a profound upheaval at short notice. The change must be so swift and dramatic that those who recognize that a revolution is happening do not have the time to mobilize against it.
Earlier totalitarian regimes needed mass executions and concentration camps to maintain their power. Now, with the help of new technologies, dissenters can easily be identified and marginalized. The nonconformists will be silenced by disqualifying divergent opinions as morally despicable.
The 2020 lockdowns offer a preview of how this system works. The lockdown worked as if it had been orchestrated. As if following a single command, the leaders of big and small nations implemented almost identical measures. Not only did many governments act in unison, they also applied these measures with little regard for the consequences of a global lockdown.
Months of economic standstill have destroyed the economic basis of millions of families. Together with social distancing, the lockdown has produced a mass of people unable to care for themselves. First, governments destroyed the livelihood, then the politicians showed up as the savior.
The lockdown and its consequences have brought a foretaste what is to come: a permanent state of fear, strict behavioral control, massive loss of jobs, and growing dependence on the state."

Anthony Mueller, 2020

"The Global Power Elite works out policies to advance their interests with regard to the management and protection of global capital and the enforcement of debt collection worldwide They are strategically placed to impose these policies through their members' positions within individual states and transnational state institutions. The enormous concentrations of economic power translate into enormous influence over global policymaking.
The Global Power Elites of the Transnational Capitalist Class make efforts to protect their interests through global organizations like the World Bank, World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, the G20, G7, World Economic Forum, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, Bank for International Settlements, and other transnational associations... Within this system, nation-states become little more than population containment zones, and the real power lies with the decision makers who control global capital."

Peter Phillips, 2018

"Yearly the World Economic Forum (WEF)/Davos brings together the world's most powerful CEO's along with governmental policy decision-makers.
... The World Economic Forum is a facilitator for the goals and objectives of the United Nations - which is world government."

Joan Veon,2005

"The current crime against humanity has been unleashed worldwide by the "Big Money", the globalists, foundations, Big Pharma and the WHO on the occasion of the "global corona false alarm", together with the hypocritical promises of salvation of the World Economic Forum and the predatory International Monetary Fund, then we cannot assume a de-globalization and a turning away from inhuman neoliberalism. The ruling "elite" will use the meeting in Davos to further advance the global control by destroying nation states. "

Rudolf Hänsel, 2020

"The Global Power Elite constitutes 6,000 to 7,000 people, or 0.0001 percent of the world's population. They are the Davos-attending, Gulfstream/ private jet-flying, megacorporation-interlocked, policy-building elites of the world-people at the absolute peak of the global power pyramid. These are the people setting the agendas at the G8, (now the G7 after the exclusion of Russia), G20, NATO, the World Bank, and the WTO. They are from the highest levels of finance capital, transnational corporations, the government, the military, the academy, nongovernmental organizations, spiritual leaders, and even shadow elites. They represent the interests of several hundred thousand millionaires and billionaires who comprise the richest people in the top 1 percent of the world's wealth hierarchy."

Peter Phillips, 2018

"Think tanks are created with the intent to bring elite interests together from a wide array of institutions: financial, industrial, corporate, academic/intellectual, media, cultural, foreign policy and political spheres. In think tanks, top officials from these sectors are gathered in a single institution where they work together to plan strategies for economic and foreign policies, for establishing consensus between elites, and to serve as training and recruitment grounds for officials to enter the political and foreign policy establishment, where they are capable of enacting the very policies developed within the think tanks. Notable think tanks with immense influence - specifically in the United States - include the Council on Foreign Relations, the Brookings Institution, the Carnegie Endowment, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Larger, international think tanks have been increasingly common during the era of globalization, uniting respective elites from across the powerful western industrial states, instead of simply the elites within each respective state. Notable among these institutions are the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum."

Andrew Gavin Marshall, 2014

IMMUNITY PASSPORTS
NO VACCINATION - NO TRAVEL

"Years ago, "conspiracy theorists" were ridiculed for warning of a system in which vaccines would be required to access normal aspects of life. Today, however, government officials and the mainstream media are openly discussing the very same system.
For the moment, vaccine passports are mainly intended for international travel. However, their use can be extended to many other areas of life. Vaccine passports in the form of free mobile apps in which a traveler uploads their COVID-19 test results or vaccination status.
Whatever the "new normal" is for travel will quickly spill over into everyday life
Researchers suspect these new "passports" will quickly be extended to employment, education, and even buying food."

Robert Wheeler, Global Research, 2020

"A coalition of big tech companies, including Microsoft is developing a COVID passport, with the expectation that a digital document linked to vaccination status will be required to travel and get access to basic services.
The group is calling itself the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), and includes Microsoft, Salesforce and Oracle.
Anyone who has been vaccinated will receive a QR code that can be stored on their mobile phone in the wallet app. Those without phones will have access to a printed version.
The coalition expects standards to be adopted that will see mandatory negative tests or proof of vaccination, in order to re-engage in society.
The Commons Project has received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation."

Steve Watson, snapwire.com, 2021

"The so-called COVID-PASS Immunity Passport is a smartphone app that will determine who gets to eat at restaurants versus who still has to get tested for the coronavirus (COVID-19) and get vaccinated.
If you go along with the New World Order, your COVI-PASS will give a "green" light to proceed. If you do not, however, then your COVID-PASS will say "restricted" until you comply.
Endorsed by Bill Gates and other globalists, COVI-PASS is every authoritarian's dream come true, and it is coming to a country near you.
Besides leisure and entertainment activities, COVI-PASS will also govern who gets to go back to work and who has to stay home and basically starve.
Those who desire entry into the new world will need to have COVI-PASS approval, allowing them "safe" re-entry back into their workplaces.
Residents of the new world will no longer be able to buy, sell, or do much of anything without a COVI-PASS, which is a dream come true for eugenicist Bill Gates, who lives not only to vaccinate, but also to control the human "herd" through technology.
In the end, if you refuse vaccinations and COVI-PASS, you will not be allowed to work, eat, or participate in society - which suggests that most people will accept these things just to survive."

thetruthrevolution.net, 2020

"Immunity passports would require people to present proof of immunity to COVID-19 in order to access public spaces, work sites, airports, schools, or other venues.
In many proposed schemes, this proof would be stored in a digital token on a phone.
Immunity passports would be a significant step toward a system of national digital identification that can be used to collect and store our personal information and track our location.
... Advocates of immunity passports visualize a world where we can't pass through a door to a workplace, school, or restaurant until the gatekeeper scans our credentials.
This would habituate gatekeepers to demand such status credentials, and habituate the public to submit to these demands.
This digital system could easily be expanded to check not just a person's immunity status, but any other bit of personal information that a gatekeeper might deem relevant.
The system could be adjusted to document not just a person's status, but also when that person passed through a door that required proof of such status.
And all data of all such passages could be accumulated into one database.
This would be a troubling step towards digital national identification, which would create new ways to digitally monitor our movements and activities."

IS AMERICA STILL A DEMOCRACY?
THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TOWARD A TOTALITARIAN STATE

"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either"

columnist Edward Zehr

"We've slipped away from a true republic. Now we're slipping into a fascist system where it's a combination of government, big business and authoritarian rule, and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen. When it comes to any significant differences on foreign policy, economic intervention, the Federal Reserve, a strong executive branch, a welfarism mixed with corporatism, both parties are very much alike. The major arguments in hotly contested presidential races are mostly for public consumption to convince the people they actually have a choice."

Ron Paul

"One more terrorist attack and we're going to shut the Constitution down."

General Tommy Frank

"We have no real say in how the government runs, or how our taxpayer funds are used.
We have no real say, but we're being forced to pay through the nose, anyhow, for endless wars that do more to fund the military industrial complex than protect us, pork barrel projects that produce little to nothing, and a police state that serves only to imprison us within its walls."

John Whitehead, 2018

"The United States has entered the ranks of the failed states. One of the most remarkable manifestations of a failed state is that the criminals are all inside the government operating against the people, whereas in a normal state, the criminals are on the outside of the government, operating against it. So, we now have every manifestation of being a failed state, with the government in the hands of a few Wall Street gangsters."

Paul Craig Roberts

"We've reached the point where state actors can penetrate rectums and vaginas, where judges can order forced catheterizations, and where police and medical personnel can perform scans, enemas and colonoscopies without the suspect's consent. And these procedures aren't to nab kingpins or cartels, but people who at worst are hiding an amount of drugs that can fit into a body cavity. In most of these cases, they were suspected only of possession or ingestion. Many of them were innocent But these tactics aren't about getting drugs off the street These tactics are instead about degrading and humiliating a class of people that politicians and law enforcement have deemed the enemy."

Radley Balko

"Oppression is designed to compel obedience and submission to authority. Those who voluntarily put themselves in that state - by believing that their institutions of authority are just and good and should be followed rather than subverted - render oppression redundant, unnecessary. Of course people who think and behave this way encounter no oppression. That's their reward for good, submissive behavior. They are left alone by institutions of power because they comport with the desired behavior of complacency and obedience without further compulsion. But the fact that good, obedient citizens do not themselves perceive oppression does not mean that oppression does not exist."

Glenn Greenwald

"We have compromised our values, butchered our own youth, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, subverted our idealism and squandered our national treasures in fruitless and costly adventures abroad. In the process, we have helped our worst enemies and turned America, once the world's beacon of freedom, into a national security surveillance state and an international moral pariah."

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

"The Military Commissions Act of 2006 effectively suspended habeas corpus and freed up the executive branch to designate any American citizen an "enemy combatant" forfeiting all privileges accorded under the Bill of Rights."

Christopher Ketcham

"Presidents come and go every four or eight years. But operatives such as George Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Schultz, James Baker etc. linger around in "public service" for decades.
Standing above those big names, certain financial and media dynasties have influenced American politics for a whole century, or more! The House of Rockefeller, which donated the land upon which the United Nations was built, has been promoting Globalism since about the turn of the 19 th century; same goes for the House of Sulzberger-Ochs (New York Times owners since 1896) , the House of Meyer-Graham (Washington Post owners since 1933) , and the arch-Billionaire Globalists of them all, the anti-Russian House of Rothschild, which bankrolled Britain's war against Napoleon 200 years ago, as well as the movement which eventually brought about the establishment of "the State of Israel". Add to the "club" newer activist billionaires such as George Soros, Mike Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Pierre Omidyar, Sheldon Adelson and some counterparts in Europe and you have the makings of a vast international network of immensely powerful Global manipulators."

MS King, 2014

"The politicians "we the people" most trusted to look out for our best interests, protect our rights, and ensure that the nation does not slip into tyranny have cheated on us, lied to us, swindled us, deceived us, double-crossed us, and sold us to the highest bidder.
Time and again, they have shown in word and deed that their priorities lay elsewhere, that they care nothing about our plight, that they owe us no allegiance, that they are motivated by power and money rather than principle, that they are deaf to our entreaties, that they are part of an elite ruling class that views us as mere cattle, that their partisan bickering is part of an elaborate ruse to keep us divided and distracted, and
that their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution mean nothing.
Incredibly, even in the face of their treachery and lies, the great majority of Americans persist in believing that the politicians have the people's best interests at heart.
Despite the fact that we've been burned before, most Americans continue to allow themselves to be bamboozled into casting their votes for one candidate or another, believing that this time they mean what they say, this time they really care about the citizenry, this time will be different.
Of course, they rarely ever mean what they say, they care about their constituents only to the extent that it advances their political careers, and it never turns out differently. We are as easily discarded the day after the elections as we were wantonly wooed in the months leading up to the big day. Those same politicians who were once so eager to pose for our pictures, smile at our jokes, and glad-hand us for our votes will, upon being elected, retreat behind a massive, impenetrable wall that ensures we are not seen or heard from again-at least, until the next election."

John W. Whitehead

"A populace deprived of the ability to separate lies from truth, is no longer capable of sustaining a free society."

Chris Hedges

"The result of the manipulation of society by the Establishment elite has been four major wars in sixty years, a crippling national debt, abandonment of the Constitution, suppression of freedom and opportunity, and creation of a vast credibility gulf between the man in the street and Washington, D.C. While the transparent device of two major parties trumpeting artificial differences, circus-like conventions, and the cliché of "bipartisan foreign policy" no longer carries credibility, and the financial elite itself recognizes that its policies lack public acceptance, it is obviously prepared to go it alone without even nominal public support."

Antony C. Sutton, 2002

"Democracy is dead in the United States and that the forces of tyranny and authoritarianism offer no apologies for their hatred of democracy and the culture of poverty, immiseration, and cruelty that they want to impose on the American people, if not the rest of the world."

Henry Giroux

"The fundamentalist-Sunni royal family of the Sauds have bought the highest levels of the U.S. government in order to control U.S. foreign policies, especially the ongoing wars to take down the governments of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and ultimately of Russia itself, which latter nation has allied itself instead with Shiia countries."

Eric Zuesse, 2015

"Each office must remain constantly alert to the existence of organizations which have aims and objectives coinciding with those of the Communist Party and are likely to be susceptible to communist influence. This necessarily includes antiwar and pacifist groups, civil rights groups, and other radical groups which advocate civil disobedience and oppose the exercise of authority by duly constituted Government officials."

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.
... It is increasingly clear that, in the twentieth century, the expert will replace the democratic voter in control of the political system. Hopefully, the elements of choice and freedom may survive for the ordinary individual in that he may be free to make a choice between two opposing political groups - even if these groups have little policy choice within the parameters of policy established by the experts. In general, his freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives."

Carroll Quigley in his book Tragedy and Hope

"Persisting social crisis, the emergence of a charismatic personality, and the exploitation of mass media to obtain public confidence would be the steppingstones in the piecemeal transformation of the United States into a highly controlled society."

Zbigniew Brzezinski

"We have created a uniquely American police state, one that has managed to grow and operate within, or at least alongside, the democratic system... By Nazi or Soviet standards, America is not a police state. But the dictionary definition does not require the extremes of a Gestapo, or a KGB; it defines a police state as "a government that seeks to intimidate and suppress political opposition by means of police, especially a secret national police organization." The FBI and the CIA have done precisely that."

David Wise in his book "The American Police State"

"Justice is incidental to law and order."

J. Edgar Hoover - Director of the FBI 1924-1972

"The shaping of the will of Congress and the choosing of the American president has become a privilege reserved to the country's equestrian classes, a.k.a. the 20% of the population that holds 93% of the wealth, the happy few who run the corporations and the banks, own and operate the news and entertainment media, compose the laws and govern the universities, control the philanthropic foundations, the policy institutes, the casinos, and the sports arenas."

journalist Lewis Lapham

"FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was a master blackmailer. The moment he would get something on a senator he'd send one of the errand boys up and advise the senator that we're in the course of an investigation and by chance happened to come up with this data on your daughter. But we wanted you to know this-we realize you'd want to know it. But don't have any concern, no one will ever learn about it. Well, Jesus, what does that tell the senator? From that time on, the senator's right in his pocket."

William Sullivan, number three in the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, to Los Angeles Times, 1973

"Those in the United States who finally rule, take their signals and commands not from the electorate as a body but from a small group of men (plus a few women). This group will be called the establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied. It is one of the secrets of the American social order. A second secret is the fact that the existence of the establishment, the ruling class, is not supposed to be discussed .... A third secret is implicit in what has been said - that there is really only one political party of any consequence in the United States, one that has been called the 'Property Party.' The Republicans and the Democrats are in fact two branches of the same (secret) party."

Professor Arthur S. Miller in his book "The Secret Constitution and the Need for Constitutional Change"

"The protean forces for creating an authoritarian state are in full play in the United States and extend far beyond the shadow of a debased and corrupt politics. A set of complex forces working in tandem is slowly, insidiously eroding the very foundations of a civic and democratic culture. Some of the most glaring issues are massive unemployment; a rotting infrastructure; the defunding of vital public services; the dismantling of the social safety net; expanding levels of poverty, especially for children; and an imprisonment binge largely targeting poor minorities of color."

Henry Giroux

"Other countries have long emulated aspects of the American Way in designing their own development models. Having access to higher education, creating conditions that support innovation and allowing for greater upward mobility have all been deeply attractive qualities to many nations. But it is the construction of a durable U.S. middle class that has been perhaps most compelling to highly stratified societies across Latin America, Asia and Africa. Now, however, the United States is moving in the other direction, toward an unstable society divided between astronomically rich elites and everyone else. This undermines a critical component of U.S. soft power and is a model for societal engineering that few would choose to emulate."

Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 2009 to 2013 Kurt Campbell

"The US has not only a larger percentage of its citizens in prison than any other country on earth, but also the largest absolute number of prisoners. The US actually has more of its citizens in prison than "authoritarian" China which has a population four times larger than the US. The US, possibly the greatest human rights abuser in history, is constantly bringing human rights charges against China. Where are the human rights charges against Washington?"

Paul Craig Roberts

"The FBI jeopardizes the whole system of freedom of expression which is the cornerstone of an open society... At worst it raises the specter of a police state. in essence the FBI conceives of itself as an instrument to prevent radical social change in America... Throughout most of its history the FBI has taken on the task not only of investigating specific violations of federal laws, but gathering general intelligence in the national security field. The Bureau's view of its function leads it beyond data collection and into political warfare."

Yale law professor Thomas Emerson at a 1971 conference on the FBI

"Police forces in America are oppressive organizations controlled by the one percent of corporate America. Corporate America is using police forces as their mercenaries."

retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis, 2014

"In an age of robber barons, "we the people" are expected to just shut up and vote.
The powers-that-be want us to be censored, silenced, muzzled, gagged, zoned out, caged in and shut down. They want our speech and activities monitored for any sign of "extremist" activity. They want us to be estranged from each other and kept at a distance from those who are supposed to represent us. They want taxation without representation. They want a government without the consent of the governed.
They want the police state."

John Whitehead

"Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, Elliott Abrams, and Condoleezza Rice ran the 9/11 attacks.
It was called a stand down, a false flag operation in order to mobilize the American public under false pretenses... it was told to me by the general on the staff of Wolfowitz.
I taught stand down and false flag operations at the national war college, I've taught it with all my operatives so I knew exactly what was done to the American public."

Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik , Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Nixon, Ford and Carter

"The basic authority of a modern state over its people resides in its war powers... On a day-to-day basis, it is represented by the institution of police, armed organizations charged expressly with dealing with 'internal enemies' in a military manner."

from "Report from Iron Mountain"

"We cannot uphold the law by breaking it, we cannot defend the Constitution by violating it, and we cannot survive as a democracy by adopting the police-state methods of totalitarianism."

David Wise in his book 'The American Police State "

"American government is corrupt. Those who have enough money can almost get anything they want from our government, whether it is tax breaks, or subsidies, or policies and laws changed, removed, or added.
... Today CEOs and wealthy businessmen are the ruling elite in the Western world, especially the United States. Their donations finance elections and even education, which they are constantly saying has to adapt itself to the needs of the market (that is, be molded to inculcate their views). It should come as no surprise therefore that the theories offered by economists rationalize the self-interest of big business and the wealthy. Overtly, of course, such theories claim to benefit society and the public's well-being. But covertly, they do just the opposite: they make the great mass of people poorer while making the rich fabulously richer."

Ravi Batra in his book "The New Golden Age"


"The Defense Authorization Act [2007] gives the Executive the power to move National Guard units anywhere in the country, without regard for the wishes of the state governors, and to declare martial law. This declaration would authorize the detention of dissenting citizens who could then be picked up and held incommunicado for an indefinite period, without access to counsel or the courts. This is nothing short of a militarization of the Republic.
Enabled by the Defense Authorization Act, the president can now declare martial law, transfer military technology to militarized domestic police forces, and detain dissenting citizens virtually at will. These detainees could be held in camps that are now being constructed and refurbished by Kellogg Brown and Root, ostensibly for illegal immigrants.
... The unitary presidency has been granted the authority to order kidnapping, detention, and torture abroad under the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This act authorizes extraordinary rendition, which inevitably means foreign detention and torture of anyone the President determines to be an unlawful combatant."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"A threat confronts liberal democracy. it involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific knowhow. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behaviour and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Under such circumstances, the scientific and technological momentum of the country would not be reversed but would actually feed on the situation it exploits."

Zbigniew Brzezinski

"I want to try and get a message to mainstream America that that this police system is corrupt, that police really are oppressing not only the black community, but also the whites."

retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis, 2014

"In America, citizens have no idea what their government's motives are in fomenting endless wars and a gestapo police state. The only information Americans have comes from whistleblowers. The mainstream media quickly discredit the information and demonize the whistleblowers."

Paul Craig Roberts


"The shaping of the will of Congress and the choosing of the American president has become a privilege reserved to the 20% of the population that holds 93% of the wealth, the happy few who run the corporations and the banks, own and operate the news and entertainment media, compose the laws and govern the universities, control the philanthropic foundations, the policy institutes, the casinos, and the sports arenas.
... Ronald Reagan's new Morning in America brought with it in the early 1980s the second coming of a gilded age more swinish than the first, and as the country continues to divide ever more obviously into a nation of the rich and a nation of the poor, the fictions of unity and democratic intent lose their capacity to command belief."

Lewis H. Lapham

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live-did live, from habit that became instinct-in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

George Orwell in his novel "1984"

"I cannot say that our country could have no central police without becoming totalitarian, but I can say with great conviction that it cannot become totalitarian without a centralized national police ... a national police will have enough on enough people, even if it does not elect to prosecute them, so that it will find no opposition to its policies."

Supreme Court justice Robert H. Jackson in is book "The Supreme Court in the American System of Government" (1955)

"I define a police state as a society in which there is unlimited state power of armed force freely discharged without citizen right to stop it. While the men at the top always proclaim their devotion to the public good, an endless litany of crimes against human life is permitted by legally terrorist offices, central directives, and bureaucratic channels. Thus in "free and democratic America", more citizens are caged than any country in the world, and over 80% have perpetrated no violence against any person. While the US accuses others of inhuman persecution and despotism, it holds the world records for caging non-violent people, for violent killings of civilians, for spy surveillance of everyone, and for mass murders of innocent people across international borders."

John McMurtry

"Whether a person believes the official story of 9/11 which rests on unproven government assertions or believes the documented evidence provided by a large number of scientists, first responders, and structural engineers and architects, the result is the same. 9/11 was used to create an open-ended "war on terror" and a police state. It is extraordinary that so many Americans believe that "it can't happen here" when it already has."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The well-bred old boys of the CIA, with their reversible names and consciences to match, did not stop at murder. Living in their own clandestine world, safe in the dark, accountable only to themselves, they had been schooled at St. Grottlesex, but learned their political morality from Eichmann. In their ignorance of the very system of government they professed to serve, they confused their arrogance with patriotism."

David Wise in his book 'The American Police State "

"My country is dead. Its people have surrendered to tyranny and in so doing, they have become tyranny's primary support group; its base; its defender. Every day they offer their endorsement of tyranny by banking in its banks and spending their borrowed money with the corporations that run it. The great Neocon strategy of George H.W. Bush has triumphed. Convince the America people that they can't live without the 'good things', then sit back and watch as they endorse the progressively more outrageous crimes you commit as you throw them bones with ever less meat on them. All the while lock them into debt. Destroy the middle class, the only political base that need be feared. Make them accept, because of their shared guilt, ever-more repressive police state measures. Do whatever you want."

Michael Ruppert

"American electoral politics had become a caricature of its former vital self: a process in which money (mostly corporate) first bought both political parties and then graciously allowed the public to choose between them."

Peter Dale Scott in his book "The Road to 9/11"

"The opportunity those in power have to characterise political opponents as "national security threats" or even "terrorists" has repeatedly proven irresistible. In the past decade, the government, in an echo of Hoover's FBI, has formally so designated environmental activists, broad swaths of anti-government rightwing groups, anti-war activists, and associations organised around Palestinian rights. Some individuals within those broad categories may deserve the designation, but undoubtedly most do not, guilty only of holding opposing political views. Yet such groups are routinely targeted for surveillance by the NSA and its partners."

Glenn Greenwald in his book "No Place To Hide"

"We must be deeply suspicious of the ruling elite of the United States, which is of course also an oligarchy, but an oligarchy which operates behind the mask of democratic institutions and formal democracy."

Webster Griffin Tarpley in his book "9/11 Synthetic Terror - made in the USA"

"In America there is no democracy that holds government accountable. There is only a brainwashed people who are chaff in the wind."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The most extremist power any political leader can assert is the power to target his own citizens for execution without any charges or due process, far from any battlefield. The Obama administration has not only asserted exactly that power in theory, but has exercised it in practice."

Glenn Greenwald

"In theory, the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 adopted in the wake of the US civil war, prevents the military from intervening in civilian police and judicial functions. This law has been central to the functioning of constitutional government.
While the Posse Comitatus Act is still on the books, in practice the legislation is no longer effective in preventing the militarization of civilian institutions.
Both the legislation inherited from the Clinton administration and the post 9/11 PATRIOT Acts I and II have blurred the line between military and civilian roles. They allow the military to intervene in judicial and law enforcement activities even in the absence of an emergency situation."

Michel Chossudovsky in his book " America's War on Terrorism"

"What is masquerading as government is a crime syndicate with a flag. The US Government is an instrument of organized crime, alternatively described as the Octopus, the Washington Consensus, the Shadow Government, Wall Street, the Round Table (Bilderbergs, Trilaterals, Council on Foreign Relations, Royal Institute of International Affairs), and the New World Order."

Nikki Alexander

"The most outrageous of the FBI's activities was its COINTELPRO operation, which the Bureau admitted it had conducted for fifteen years, between 1956 and 1971. Under this program, a secret arm of the United States government, using taxpayers' funds, harassed American citizens and disrupted their organizations, using a wide variety of covert techniques."

David Wise in his book "The American Police State"

"It's worse than George Orwell could have imagined in his book "1984" because fechnological advancements between his time and ours.
The power of government today to control far exceeds what Big Brother had in Orwell's imagination.
Homeland Security has announced that it is no longer focused on terrorists, but on domestic extremists - and that's war protesters, radical enviromentalists and people that disagree with the government."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision opened the floodgates for corporate money to enter Washington. Campaign spending in the 2012 elections was unprecedented, totaling an astounding $6.3 billion, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Spending on the 2014 elections, at $4 billion, made it the most expensive midterm election in history.
In the Citizens United case, the Supreme Court ruled in their majority decision that corporate spending on federal elections would not 'give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption'."

Alex Ellefson

"The technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny. And there would be no way to fight back, because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know."

Senator Frank Church, 1975

"Over the years we have been warned about the danger of subversive organizations, organizations that would threaten our liberties, subvert our system, would encourage its members to take further illegal action to advance their views, organizations that would incite and promote violence, putting one American group against another... There is an organization that does fit those descriptions, and it is the organization, the leadership of which has been most constant in its warning to us to be on guard against such harm. The Bureau [FBI] did all of those things."

Senator Philip Hart of Michigan testifying before the Church Committee, 1975

"American elites are so committed to warmaking abroad that they are likely to turn America into a police state to protect their interests."

Fred Branfman

"Endless war has ruined our economy. It benefits a handful of elites, while levying a tax on the vast majority of Americans.
Congress members - part of the super-elite which has made money hand over fist during this economic downturn - are heavily invested in the war industry, and routinely trade on inside information perhaps even including planned military actions.
No wonder the American government is making the state of war permanent, and planning to unleash new, widespread wars in the near future."

"President Barack Obama realizes that he is only the president in a country where the industrial-military complex decides what has to be done, and you cannot go beyond the parameters of what they decide. It would be dangerous.

former UN General Assembly President Miguel d'Escoto

"A 5-4 majority of the U.S. Supreme Court lifted limits on total amounts that an individual can contribute during a campaign cycle, an extension of the 2010 ruling on 'Citizens United' allowing the rich to spend unlimited sums on political advertising. It was another step toward an American oligarchy where politicians, activists and even jornalists compete to satisfy one "oligarch" or another."

Robert Parry

"9/11 has allowed the government to use fear to get unlimited power. But when you get power, it doesn't mean you can quickly spring it on everybody, because that shocks and startles them. So you use the power a bit little at a time, and let the people get used to it, and in that way you never meet any opposition."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The privatization of public services and functions manifests the steady evolution of corporate power into a political form, into an integral, even dominant partner with the state. It marks the transformation of American politics and its political culture from a system in which democratic practices and values were, if not defining, at least major contributing elements, to one where the remaining democratic elements of the state and its populist programs are being systematically dismantled."

Sheldon Wolin

"The American government could already be described as authoritarian... Due process of law and the right of habeas corpus, which for centuries have characterized the rule of law in democratic states, have been eliminated. At the discretion of the president, non-citizens and citizens alike may be classified as enemy combatants, picked up and held for an indeterminate period of time without access to counsel. A network of secret prisons and camps is being established both inside and outside of the United States. Paramilitary forces or private mercenary armies are being developed to make up for the inadequate numbers of the existing volunteer army. This is effectively resulting in the privatization of the US military."

William F. Pepper in his book "An Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"

"Court rulings -- most famously the Citizens United case in 2010 -- have long meant that any laws attempting to stop billionaires (both conservative and liberal billionaires, for what it's worth) from buying elections were already a lost cause. The Roberts court has held that -- even in a time with record levels of income inequality -- money is just a form of free speech."

www.philly.com, 2014

"The total result of the manipulation of society by the Establishment elite has been four major wars in sixty years, a crippling national debt, abandonment of the Constitution, suppression of freedom and opportunity, and creation of a vast credibility gulf between the man in the street and Washington, D.C. While the transparent device of two major parties trumpeting artificial differences, circus-like conventions, and the cliché of "bipartisan foreign policy" no longer carries credibility, and the financial elite itself recognizes that its policies lack public acceptance, it is obviously prepared to go it alone without even nominal public support."

Antony C. Sutton in his book "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler", 1976

"9/11 has given us a police state, has destroyed the civil liberties that are guaranteed by the Constitution, like habeas corpus and due process."

Paul Craig Roberts

"What the U.S. Supreme Court did [Citizen United] is award monopoly power over the First Amendment to corporations.
... What this decision does is it says the Supreme Court of the United States says that you, a corporation, have a First Amendment right to buy as much influence as you can afford."

EMPIRE OF CHAOS
IS THE UNITED STATES THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE EMPIRE IN HISTORY?

"The Roman Empire produced few exportable goods. Material innovation, whether through entrepreneurialism or technological advancement, all but ended long before the final dissolution of the Empire. Meanwhile the costs of military defense and the pomp of Emperors continued. Financial needs continued to increase, but the means of meeting them steadily eroded. In the end due to economic failure, even the armor of soldiers deteriorated and the weaponry of soldiers became so obsolete to the extent that the enemies of the Empire had better armor and weapons as well as larger forces. The decrepit social order offered so little to its subjects that many saw the barbarian invasion as liberation from onerous obligations to the ruling class."

Alfred Toynbee

"U.S. military forces were directly responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the two Iraq Wars.
... The United States was also responsible for 14 million deaths in Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, East Timor, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sudan.
... The United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world."

James A. Lucas

"We thought we knew what would happen in Libya. We thought we knew what would happen in Egypt. We thought we knew what would happen in Iraq, and we guessed wrong. In each one of these countries the thing we have to consider is that there is some structure that's holding the society together. And as we learned, especially in Libya, when you remove the top and the whole thing falls apart - you get chaos."

former Secretary of State Colin Powell

"The war against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it."

George Orwell

"The objective of U.S. world domination is not just power for its own sake but power to insure plutocratic control of the planet, power to privatize and deregulate the economies of every nation in the world, to hoist upon the backs of peoples everywhere - including the people of North America - the blessings of an untrammeled 'free market' corporate capitalism. The struggle is between those who belleve that the land, labor, capital, technology, and markets of the world should be dedicated to maximizing capital accumulation for the few, and those who believe that these things should be used for the communal benefit and socio-economic development of the many."

Michael Parenti

"U.S. and Western imperialism is the root cause of the "refugee crisis". Everyday men, women, and children are killed by U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, U.S. and Western-backed militias in Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia, European and North American mining and oil conglomerates in Central and Western Africa, or are starved to death in Yemen by the U.S.-backed Arab blockade of the country. Until the genocidal aims of U.S. imperialism, with the support of Canada, Australia, the European Union, and regional allies, are defeated, the "war on terror" will continue to make life too unbearable for working people in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East to remain in their home countries."

T.J. Petrowski, 2015

"The United States never intended to rebuild Iraq. The United States has a long record of bombing nations, reducing entire neighborhoods, and much of cities, to rubble, wrecking the infrastructure, ruining the lives of those the bombs didn't kill. And afterward doing shockingly little or literally nothing to repair the damage."

General William McCoy, Army Corps of Engineers

"It took some time before I fully realized that the United States sees little need for diplomacy. Power is enough. Only the weak rely on diplomacy The Roman Empire had no need for diplomacy. Nor does the United States."

Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Secretary-General of the United Nations from January 1992 to December 1996

"So how do you improve the business climate in third world countries? Well, it's easy. You murder priests (that is, priests and other religiously oriented groups who are involved too much with the concerns of the people - i.e., the "Marynollers," the Quakers, Catholic priests involved in Liberation Theology, etc), you torture peasant organizers, you destroy popular organizations, you institute mass murder and repression to crush any popular organizations (which might try to help the poor). And that improves the investment climate. So there's a secondary correlation between American aid and the deterioration of human rights. It's entirely natural that we should tend to aid countries that are egregious violators of fundamental human rights and that torture their citizens, and that's indeed what we find."

Noam Chomsky

"The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination. It calls for the United States to maintain its overwhelming superiority and prevent new rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike. It says not that the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but that it must be absolutely powerful."

Vice-President Dick Cheney - West Point lecture, June 2002

"We have compromised our values, butchered our own youth, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, subverted our idealism and squandered our national treasures in fruitless and costly adventures abroad. In the process, we have helped our worst enemies and turned America, once the world's beacon of freedom, into a national security surveillance state and an international moral pariah."

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

"In the wars in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan and Syria, America has destroyed any significant progress those nations had made in education, healthcare, infrastructure such as water treatment and electricity, postal services, courts. By degrading the standards of living for people in perceived "hostile" nations, America's ruling elite empowers itself, while claiming that it has ensured the safety and prestige of the American people. Sometimes it is even able to convince the public that its criminal actions are "humanitarian" and designed to liberate the people in nations it destroys."

Douglas Valentine, 2017

"Under Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, the US government has become an unaccountable, lawless, criminal organization and is a danger to the entire world and its own citizens."

Paul Craig Roberts

"American leadership is ruthlessly pursuing immoral wars all over the world with the intent of creating outside enemies to focus public anger on, as a conscious diversion away from the criminality happening domestically. As an added bonus, the intelligence-military-industrial complex makes an incredible sum of money. The end result: serfs are distracted with inane nationalistic fervor, while the "elites" earn billions."

retired U.S. Major General Robert H. Scales

"A U.S. military counterinsurgency document gave instructions on how to create terror.
In the case of the Philippines they were talking about leaving the bodies by the rivers. So you mutilate the bodies, you cut them, you amputate, and then you display the bodies on the riversides to stir terror in the population. And of course that's exactly what ISIS is doing today.
[In Indonesia in 1965] the CIA weighed in with a list of 5,000 targets for assassination. The U.S. press was hailing it at the time. They were calling it a gleam of light in Asia. Gen. Suharto was installed in power as a result of this process. Suharto later, in the mid-'70s, sought the permission of President Ford and Henry Kissinger to invade the small neighboring country of East Timor, which was then emerging into independence from having been a Portuguese colony. They gave the green light. They just said do it quickly. They went in [and] killed a third of the population.
It's the exact same tactics in country after country, with local adaptations, and often the officers are all trained at the same U.S. military bases-Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, Leavenworth and at the Inter-American Defense College, in the case of the Latin American officers.

In Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, it's reached the point of political and social breakdown. There's no stopping it. It's out of control. There are not two sides. It has fractured into many sides. It's analogous to what happened in Cambodia, with the massive U.S. bombing of Cambodia, which paved the way for the rise of the Khmer Rouge. It has destroyed any semblance of normal politics or even society. In that kind of environment the most evil, the most violent, have a better chance to rise and prevail.

We're now in a moment where provocations and willful murder on the part of the U.S. have come back to bite the United States. That doesn't usually happen. There was no consequence like that from Central America. There was no consequence like that from Haiti, Palestine or South Africa. But in this case it happened. Operations like the U.S. backing of the mujahedeen to repel the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the U.S. backing of the various anti-Assad Islamist forces in Syria, have given birth to first al-Qaida, and then ISIS."

"Because the United States does not look like a militarized country, it's hard for Americans to grasp that Washington is a war capital, that the United States is a war state, that it garrisons much of the planet, and that the norm for us is to be at war somewhere at any moment."

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch, 2009

"Washington is responsible for the destruction of Yugoslavia and Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and part of Syria. Washington has enabled Saudi Arabia's attack on Yemen, Ukraine's attack on its former Russian provinces, and Israel's destruction of Palestine and the Palestinian people."

"Neoconservative Jeane Kirkpatrick argued in 1979 that Third World revolutions are illegitimate, the products of Soviet expansion rather than of local historical forces opposed to repressive dictatorships. Kirkpatrick had solved the moral problem of the rollbackers: why it is fine to overthrow left-wing governments and make friends with rightist dictators. The Kirkpatrick Doctrine held that right-wing dictatorships can evolve into democratic governments while left-wing nations cannot. Under this doctrine - Marcos, Pinochet, and P.W. Botha were leading their countries down the path of democracy."

This means the takeover of their national financial systems and the control over monetary policy, leading eventually to the imposition of the US dollar as the national currency."

Michel Chossudovsky, 2005

"For the world as a whole, the CIA has now become the bogey that communism has been for America. Wherever there is trouble, violence, suffering, tragedy, the rest of us are now quick to suspect the CIA had a hand in it. Our phobia about the CIA is, no doubt, as fantastically excessive as America's phobia about world communism; but in this case, too, there is just enough convincing guidance to make the phobia genuine. In fact, the roles of America and Russia have been reversed in the world's eyes. Today America has become the nightmare."

Arnold Toynbee, the British historian, quoted in the New York Times of May 7, 1971

"The American state's murderous rampage through the Middle East and North Africa was enabled by the Europeans who provided diplomatic and military cover for Washington's crimes. Today the Europeans are suffering the consequences as they are over-run by millions of refugees from Washington's wars."

"The purpose of our military bases is "force projection" or the maintenance of American military hegemony over the rest of the world. They facilitate our "policing" of the globe and are meant to ensure that no other nation, friendly or hostile, can ever challenge us militarily."

"American policymakers, setting themselves up as guardians of the world system, are more inclined than ever to simply disregard international laws and conventions if they get in the way of unrivaled military supremacy. Every instance of U.S. armed intervention during the 1980s and 1990s represents a flagrant violation of regional treaties and laws, not to mention the UN Charter itself, which explicitly prohibits military attacks against sovereign nations - for example, Grenada, Nicaragua, Haiti, Panama, Serbia, and Iraq. In any event, the U.S. has consistently shown its contempt for international bodies, agreements, and procedures that might conflict with its hegemonic aspirations."

American leaders may make mistakes, they may blunder, they may even on the odd occasion cause more harm than good, but they do mean well. Their intentions are always honorable. Of that Americans are certain. They genuinely wonder why the rest of the world can't see how kind and g

THE VACCINE CATASTROPHE

"The Gates Foundation has been linked to mass vaccination initiatives using untested, unsafe vaccinations.
... In December 2012, in the small village of Gouro, Chad, Africa, situated on the edge of the Sahara Desert, five hundred children were locked into their school, threatened that if they did not agree to being force-vaccinated with a meningitis A vaccine, they would receive no further education.
These children were vaccinated without their parents' knowledge. This vaccine was an unlicensed product still going through the third and fourth phases of testing.
Within hours, one hundred and six children began to suffer from headaches, vomiting, severe uncontrollable convulsions and paralysis. The children had to wait one full week for a doctor to arrive while the team of vaccinators proceeded to vaccinate others in the village.
When the doctor finally came, he could do nothing for the children. The team of vaccinators, upon seeing what had happened, fled the village in fear.
After being shuttled around like cattle, many of these sick, weak children were finally dumped back in their village without a diagnosis and each family was given an unconfirmed sum of 1000 British pounds by the government. No forms were signed and no documentation was seen. They were informed that their children had not suffered a vaccine injury.
However, if this were true, why would their government award each family 1000 British pounds, in what has been described as hush money?
The groups involved with this project were PATH, WHO, UNICEF, and the Gates Foundation. During investigations, it was discovered that the whole project was being run by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation."

"We have known for 13 years, MMR vaccine causes autism and we have concealed that fact."

Dr. William Thompson, former senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

"The state of California passed its controversial mandatory vaccination law (SB 277), which removed personal and religious reasons from the list of being exempt from vaccinations, with the goal of increasing vaccination rates.
In 2016 the rates of autism in California public schools jumped 7% in general, but rose especially high for kindergarten kids - by 17%.
The number of kids diagnosed as autistic has risen seven-fold since 2001.
Increases have come each year, but in 2016 following the mandatory vaccination law, the rate jumped even higher than usual: a total of 6,368 additional cases were reported from the previous school year."

"Center for Disease Control (CDC) is not an independent agency. It is a vaccine company. CDC owns over twenty vaccine patents. It sells about $4.6 billion of vaccines every year. And its primary metric for success in all the departments in the agency is vaccine sales."

Robert Kennedy Jr.

"To date, studies conducted or funded by the CDC that purportedly dispute any correlation between autism and vaccine injury have been of poor design, under-powered, and fatally flawed. The CDC's rush to support and promote such research is reflective of a philosophical conflict in looking fairly at emerging theories and clinical data related to adverse reactions from vaccinations."

Subcommittee on Human Rights and Wellness of the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Government Reform, 2003

"An early 2014 report released by the Council of Foreign Relations to identify countries with the highest rates of disease outbreaks, accidently revealed that the most highly vaccinated populations are also those with the greatest number of outbreaks for those same infectious diseases. This was especially the case for measles, mumps, rubella, polio and pertussis outbreaks. The US, Canada, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan - each with the highest number of mandated vaccines - led the list of nations."

Gary Null and Richard Gale, 2015

"In the aftermath of the most recent unnecessary Pandemic declaration of a global H1N1 swine flu emergency, industrial countries were left sitting on hundreds of millions of doses of untested vaccines. They decided to get rid of the embarrassing leftover drugs by handing them over to the World Health Organization (WHO) which in turn plans to dump them for free on select poor countries. France has given 91 million of the 94 million doses the Sarkozy government bought from the pharma giants; Britain gave 55 million of its 60 million doses. The story for Germany and Norway is similar."

Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine Information Center

"The United States has the highest number of mandated vaccines for children under 5 in the world (36 - double the Western world average of 18), the highest autism rate in the world (1 in 150 children, 10 times or more the rate of some other Western countries), but only places 34th in the world for its children under 5 mortality rate.

"With a child now receiving 31 and more vaccinations during its first 18 months of life, it would seem that this barbaric practice would have been fully investigated by our health officials to account for the epidemic rise in neurological and behavioral disorders, adult diabetes and asthmatic conditions in American children. Instead, our health officials continue to pump out junk science."

Richard Gale and Dr Gary Null, 2009

"There is a huge gap in our understanding of vaccine safety, and yet we have an industry that is indemnified, that doesn't carry any risk or any liability for vaccine damage. So why would you do the safety studies? This is what they've done. They've taken shortcuts; they've not done the safety studies that are necessary. I believe children are now paying a considerable price for that."

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

"The CDC has repeatedly, purposefully withheld data that clearly shows a link between thimerosal and autism."

Dr. Brian Hooker

"The idea of using vaccines to covertly reduce births in the Third World is not new. David Rockefeller and his Rockefeller Foundation were involved as early as 1972 in a major project together with WHO and others to perfect another "new vaccine".
The results of the WHO-Rockefeller project were put into mass application on human guinea pigs in the early 1990's. The WHO oversaw massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines. Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic lay organization, became suspicious of the motives behind the WHO program and decided to test numerous vials of the vaccine and found them to contain human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or hCG.
That was a curious component for a vaccine designed to protect people against lock-jaw arising from infection with rusty nail wounds or other contact with certain bacteria found in soil. The tetanus disease was indeed, also rather rare. It was also curious because hCG was a natural hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy.
However, when combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier, it stimulated formation of antibodies against hCG, rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy, a form of concealed abortion."

F. William Engdahl, 2010

"Children who come to me from other practices where they've been fully vaccinated often are the kids in my practice with asthma, panic disorder, OCD, pandas, autism, Asperger's. The kids who've never been vaccinated in my practice, I don't see those issues. I don't have one child who was not vaccinated who also has asthma, food allergies, or Asperger's or autism, or Crohn's or ulcerative colitis-none of these chronic, either chronic inflammatory or chronic autoimmune diseases. I don't have that in my population that never was vaccinated."

"The number of vaccines included in the current childhood vaccine schedule has quadrupled over the past 60 years, with several demanding multiple injections and boosters. During this exponential rise of "recommended" schedules, the health of American children has plummeted."

Paul Fassa, 2017

"Without the slightest nuance, the mainstream media constantly portrays people reluctant to accept just any vaccine as "anti-vaxers", irresponsible and misinformed people In reality, many so-called "anti-vaxers" are not all totally against vaccines. While some people may be totally against any kind of vaccination, many, including doctors and health specialists, question certain vaccines, ingredients in the vaccines and/or the vaccination schedule."

"Autism rates in the US have been rising since the 1980s. In 1985 autism prevalence was 1 in 2,500, ten years later it jumped to 1 in 500, and today it is an astonishing 1 in 68 children.
More and more researchers and doctors are raising red flags as they see more evidence that this epidemic is related not only to environmental, food, and water toxins, but specifically to those in vaccinations. In 1995, the immunization schedule for children had 19 vaccinations before the age of 16. In 2001, that number is now 28 before the age of 18.
Following the 2016 schedule, a child can receive up to 72 vaccinations if they have all the doses of the vaccines, all the boosters, and a double-dose of the annual flu shot done.
While the state of California has long been in favor of natural medicine and freedom to choose your own method of healing, all that changed in June 2015 when Governor Jerry Brown signed the controversial SB277 bill eliminating personal and religious exemptions for vaccines."

Gary Null and Richard Gale, 2015

"Many reports that describe post-vaccination autoimmunity strongly suggest that vaccines can indeed trigger autoimmunity. Defined autoimmune diseases that may occur following vaccinations include arthritis, lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE) diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, dermatomyosiositis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and demyelinating disorders. Almost all types of vaccines have been reported to be associated with the onset of Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome [ASIA]."

"Health experts point out that were the intent of Gates really to improve the health and well-being of black Africans, the same hundreds of millions of dollars the Gates Foundation has invested in untested and unsafe vaccines could be used in providing minimal sanitary water and sewage systems.
Vaccinating a child who then goes to drink feces-polluted river water is hardly healthy in any respect. But of course cleaning up the water and sewage systems of Africa would revolutionize the health conditions of the Continent."

"Any person injected with a live virus, even if it's weakened or "inactive" due to toxic formaldehyde, can shed that virus via saliva or mucus to any person whether they are inoculated or not.
... Shedding is observed as early as one day and as late as 15 days after a dose.
... in the United States, stool samples were collected from infants for 9 days following the first dose. Rotavirus antigen was detected in stool of 21% of 103 infants, as early as day 3 post vaccination and as late as day 9."

"It should be of concern that the effect of routine vaccinations on all-cause mortality was not tested in randomized trials. All currently available evidence suggests that DTP vaccine may kill more children from other causes than it saves from diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis. Though a vaccine protects children against the target disease it may simultaneously increase susceptibility to unrelated infections."

"The USA leads the world in infant vaccinations, those administered during the first year after their births - 26 vaccinations during that time.
In 1950, there were 3 childhood vaccines typically given when a child entered school.
In 1983, there were 10 recommended vaccines by the age of 6 years old (24 doses, 7 injections, 4 oral doses for polio).
In 2010, the CDC vaccine schedule totaled 68 doses with more than half given by the time a child was only a year and a half old.
In 2016, the schedule has increased to 74 doses by age 17 with 53 injections and 3 oral doses of rotavirus."

"Thimserosal used as a preservative in vaccines is likely related to the autism epidemic. This epidemic in all probability may have been prevented or curtailed had the FDA not been asleep at the switch regarding the lack of safety data regarding injected thimerosal and the sharp rise of infant exposure to his known neurotoxin. Our public health agencies' failure to act is indicative of institutional malfeasance for self-protection and misplaced protectionism of the pharmaceutical industry."

"The U.S. gives more vaccines than any other country in the world. Our childhood schedule for under the age of one has twice as many vaccines as other developed countries. What else do we have? The highest infant mortality rate of any developed nation. Finland has the lowest. They only give 11 by age six. Mississippi has the highest rate of vaccination in the U.S. and the highest infant mortality rate. These numbers do not lie. But you will not hear that from the media. What we have with vaccines is the highest profit-margin pharmaceutical drug on the market. Drug companies make more money off of vaccines than they do any other pharmaceutical drug, in terms of profit margin."

"During normal childhood development, non-specific immunity is gradually formed over time, beginning in the womb with the transfer of maternal antibodies from a child's mother and continuing on into early toddlerhood. This natural process of immune formation establishes lifelong immunity to various diseases as they are encountered.
... Vaccines, however, interfere with this process by overriding non-specific immune formation and bombarding specific immunity with antigens, adjuvants and chemicals. At best, these injections provide temporary immunity, only aided by "booster" shots at regular intervals to maintain it. At worst, this overriding creates lasting immune damage, potentially triggering autoimmune diseases.
... The immune system is incredibly complex, having been designed in such a way as to provide multiple layers of protection against outside invaders. But vaccines interfere with these layers - and since they are far from perfect, being man-made with no possibility of ever being perfected, they threaten to damage real immunity, in some cases permanently.
This is especially true regarding vaccine adjuvants, which are claimed to stimulate an immune response. It is near impossible to balance these adjuvants, along with vaccine preservatives, substrate proteins and other additives, to attain the proper immune response, which puts many people at risk."

Tara Paras

"The tests of the triple vaccines such as MMR are inadequate. There have never been any safety studies of giving two doses, and yet that is now almost universal practice in the developed world, but that's never been subjected to a safety study. And some children are now receiving nine, ten vaccines on the same day. That has never been subjected to any kind of scrutiny by the FDA or anyone else."

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

"In the early 1950s, there were four vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and smallpox. Because three of these vaccines were combined into a single shot (DTP), children received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and not more than one shot at a single visit.
By the mid-1980s, there were seven vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella and polio. Because six of these vaccines were combined into two shots (DTP and MMR), and one, the polio vaccine, was given by mouth, children still received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and not more than one shot at a single visit.
Since the mid-1980s, many vaccines have been added to the schedule. Now, children could receive as many as 24 shots by 2 years of age and five shots in a single visit."

"Vaccines can have tumorigenic kidney cells of a cocker spaniel in them. They can have human fetal cells with retroviruses. They can have aluminum, which is one of the most horrible things to inject into any sort of life form, especially into a muscle... Parents really need to know that their doctors are not informed and therefore they cannot give informed consent, and that they really need to think about it because you cannot unvaccinate."

Dr. Suzanne Humphries in her book "Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History"

"Aluminum has been added to vaccines since about 1926 when Alexander Glenny and colleagues noticed it would produce better antibody responses in vaccines than the antigen alone. Glenny figured the alum was inducing what he called a "depot effect" - slowing the release of the antigen and heightening the immune response. For 60 years his theory was accepted dogma. And over the same time, the vaccine schedule grew decade on decade, but few ever questioned the effects of injecting aluminum into the body, which is strange considering its known toxicity.
A PubMed search on aluminum and "toxicity" turns up 4,258 entries. Its neurotoxicity is well documented. It affects memory, cognition, psychomotor control; it damages the blood brain barrier, activates brain inflammation, depresses mitochondrial function and plenty of research suggests it is a key player in the formation of the amyloid "plaques" and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. It's been implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and autism and demonstrated to induce allergy."

Celeste McGovern, 2016

"A growing number of scientists and researchers believe that a relationship between the increase in neurodevelopmental disorders of autism and the increased use of thimerosal in vaccines is plausible and deserves more scrutiny.

"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation created the GAVI alliance to push vaccinations on the poorest
parts of the developing world in the name of "saving lives" and stopping disease.
... In April 2012, the Indian medical press reported that some 47,500 children had been paralyzed as a direct result of the polio vaccination campaign that had swept through their populous country. India's National Polio Surveillance Project found that a sharp rise in the cases of non-polio paralysis correlated with areas where doses of oral polio vaccine were also increased.
Worse, children afflicted with polio vaccine-derived non-polio paralysis were at more than twice the risk of dying than those with wild polio infection, according to Indian officials.
Bill Gates has publicly denied that his vaccination campaign harmed anyone.
... The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the UN's World Health Organization knew that oral polio vaccines caused paralysis - but they thought the trade off was worth it.
... After years of controversy in the United States, the use of oral polio vaccine (OPV) was discontinued in 2000 due to its proven link with vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV), and in the UK circa 2004.

Sweden and Japan had 11 vaccines, Finland 12, Norway 13, Switzerland 16, Australia 27, Canada 28, and USA 36. It is safe to say that, if anything, more vaccines have been added to those schedules since 2009, especially the HPV vaccine for both girls and boys."

"You have effectively taken a trivial disease - mumps - and by vaccinating, you have turned it into a more dangerous disease. One dose of MMR doesn't prevent it. Two doses of MMR don't prevent it. Three doses. You are creating a population that is dependent upon reboosting with vaccines for the rest of their lives to avoid this complication, a man-made complication..... They were so zealous. They so urgently needed to get this vaccine into the market that they ignored the potential problems and now we have a big problem. Mumps vaccine is a dangerous vaccine. It does not work."

"There were 47,500 cases of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis [NPAFP] reported in in India 2011, the same year India was declared "polio-free".

"Vaccine informed consent is an oxymoron. To be able to give informed consent, you have to have the information to give. If vaccine safety information does not exist, you're not in a position to give that information. So the process of informed consent never gets out of the starting blocks."

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

"According to a CDC epidemiologist named Tom Verstraeten, who had analyzed the agency's massive database containing the medical records of 100,000 children, a mercury-based preservative in the vaccines - thimerosal - appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children.
The CDC paid the Institute of Medicine to conduct a study to whitewash the risks of thimerosal, ordering researchers to "rule out" the chemical's link to autism.
It withheld Dr. Verstraeten's findings, even though they had been slated for immediate publication, and told other scientists that his original data had been "lost" and could not be replicated."

"'Tissue Scurvy' is an autoimmune disorder in which there is an abundance of Vitamin C in the body, but the Vitamin C is unable to enter the tissue cells to perform its functions of maintaining the integrity of the blood vessels and skeletal tissue. Without cellular Vitamin C, various critical enzymatic actions cannot occur.
The result of this intracellular lack of Vitamin C is the development of fractures, hemorrhages and other lesions of Tissue Scurvy including the so-called shaken baby syndrome (SBS) triad features which are solely a result of the auto-immune response to a toxic trauma.
The relationship of vaccines and autoimmune response, including Tissue Scurvy is well established. In fact, the most common cause of Tissue Scurvy In infants and children is the administration of vaccines, any vaccine. Symptoms are generally seen within 4 weeks of vaccine administration."

"What had been done to establish the safety of giving Hepatitis B vaccine on day one of life? Not just giving it on day one but giving it on day one to every infant whether they were born at 24 weeks or 30 weeks or 36 weeks or 40 weeks, whatever their birth weight was, whether they were 10 lbs or 2 lbs, they were getting the same shot at day one as a matter of policy. Safety studies? We couldn't find them. And that was really shocking. How could this be? If your'e going to make it a matter of policy for every kid in the country, then you'e got to be absolutely certain that you got the safety set that is right, because if not, you may produce insidious problems, minor degrees of damage which you don't pick up straight away but are catastrophic."

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

"Even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the 'flu' problem because most 'flu' appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average only 6% are found to be influenza positive."

Dr. Peter Doshi in a British Medical Journal, 2013

"Multiple loads of toxins are delivered through the DTP vaccine which include formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, thimerosal, and polysorbate 80, and other chemicals. That means that every DTP vaccine contains carcinogenic, neurotoxic, immunotoxic and sterility agents just like many flu vaccines. These chemicals then bioaccumulate in the child with each successive vaccine, further introducing an additional load of toxins with each injection."

Dave Mihalovic, 2013

"Vaccines contain a vast array of potentially dangerous ingredients, including antibiotics, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), bovine fetal tissue, polysorbate and heavy metals like aluminum and the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal. When these are shot into the bloodstream, they bypass the majority of the body's natural immune system which resides in the gut."

Melissa Melton, 2014

"For our government health officials at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), vaccines have been baptized safe and, therefore, there is no reason for further debate. In fact, so certain are those in charge of the nation's vaccination programs, even democratic discourse about vaccination controversies has been marginalized and smothered. There is no dissenting opinion published in any major industrial medical journal or magazine, nor found on any government health websites.
When put to the test, a meticulous review of the scientific literature finds that virtually all of the Federal health agencies assumptions are held in error. Furthermore, the CDC, FDA and HHS, with all of their resources, refuse to take into consideration the large body of clinical evidence that contradicts their biased vaccine policies."

Richard Gale and Dr Gary Null, 2009

"There are at least 97 studies showing links between vaccines and autism."

Julie Lévesque

"You do not combine three live viruses into one vaccine and assume that that is a benign process, that you can follow those children for 3, 4, 5 weeks and get away with it. These are viruses that are live, they are capable of establishing long-term infection and they are capable of producing long-term adverse events."

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

"International vaccination programs have ended disastrously for third-world nations. The Meningitis vaccine program resulted in the paralysis of at least 50 African children and a subsequent cover-up operation by the government of Chad. This large number of adverse events occurred in one small village alone."

"The vaccine-autism evidence is now overwhelming, despite the misinformation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Institute of Medicine."

Bernard Rimland, Ph.D, 2006

"The standard DPT [diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus] vaccine is acknowledged to be the deadliest of all vaccines, causing more disability, illness and the highest risks, even exceeding MMR [measles, mumps and rubella]."

Dave Mihalovic, 2013

"You couldn't even construct a study that shows Thimerosal is safe. It's just too toxic. If you inject Thimerosal into an animal, its brain will sicken. If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it in a petri dish, the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would be shocking if one could inject it into an infant without causing damage."

Boyd Haley, MD, Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky, 2006

"Paralysis rates have flourished in countries where Bill Gates' polio vaccine have been administered the most."

Brandon Turbeville

"Those countries where vaccines are given routinely or forced upon children and their parents, often under threat of law, experience the lion's share of communicable diseases. Why? What's happened with "herd immunity"? It just doesn't add up, especially since in the USA there is over 90% childhood vaccination compliance."

Catherine J. Frompovich, 2013

"Most medical journals receive half or more of their income from pharmaceutical company advertising and reprint orders, and dozens of others journals are owned by pharmaceutical companies.
... The FDA does zero independent medical testing of its own.
It is a system built upon conflicts of interest that leaves consumers completely in the dark about the true consequences of taking Big Pharma products."

Julie Lévesque

"Last week in our clinic we saw nine or 10 new children with exactly the same story, referred by paediatricians from around the country who said, 'This child developed normally, had a reaction to MMR and is now autistic'"... The safety of MMR cannot be substantiated by the science. That is not only my opinion but increasingly the view of healthcare professionals and the public."

"A government inquiry has found that polio vaccines for infants funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation [GAVI] are causing deaths and disabilities in regional countries including Pakistan.
The main vaccinations in question were the polio vaccine and the 5-in-1 pentavelent vaccine, which were said to be responsible for the deaths and disability of a number of children in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Japan.
The vaccines were funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization (GAVI) an organization financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Children's Vaccine Program, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, the Rockefeller Foundation, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank."

"The prevalence rate for autism before 1990 was only three children per 10,000. When the CDC began surveillance of the study population
in 2000, it was one child in every 150. Since then, autism diagnoses have been steadily increasing each year.
... Autism in the U.S. has increased by a whopping 30% in just two years. The new estimate is that one in every 68 kids in America now falls somewhere on the autism spectrum."

Melissa Melton, 2014

"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), PATH and WHO (World Health Organization) were criminally negligent trialling the vaccines on a vulnerable, uneducated and under-informed population, school administrators, students and their parents who were not provided informed consent or advised of potential adverse effects or required to be monitored post-vaccination."

from a writ of petition submitted to the Supreme Court of India, 2012

"The more vaccinated the population, the more likely to contract the very diseases for which they are vaccinated.

"We're seeing mumps outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations around the world. What is the response from health officials? Vaccinate! ... Mumps vaccine is a huge commercial success precisely because it doesn't work. How many products can you say that about? You can just see the sales curve go up. The worse the vaccine, the more you need to get it."

"The worst epidemic ever to hit America, the Spanish Influenza of 1918, was the result of a massive nationwide vaccination campaign.
... The 1918 flu period suddenly struck just after the end of World War I when our soldiers were returning home from overseas.
... World War I was the first war in which all the known vaccines were forced on all the servicemen.
... This mix of poison drugs and putrid protein of which the vaccines were composed, caused such widespread disease and death among the soldiers that it was the common talk of the day, that more of our men were being killed by medical shots than by enemy shots from guns.
... The death and disease rate among the vaccinated soldiers was four times higher than among the unvaccinated civilians.
... World War I was a shorter war than the vaccine-makers had planned on, only about a year for the United States, so the vaccine promoters had a lot of unused, spoiling vaccines left over which they wanted to sell at a good profit.
... So they did what they usually do, they called a meeting behind closed doors, and plotted the whole sordid program, a nationwide (worldwide) vaccination drive using all their vaccines, and telling the people that the soldiers were coming home with many dread diseases contracted in foreign countries and that it was the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child to get "protected" by rushing down to the vaccination centers and having all the shots.
... The result was, that almost the entire population submitted to the shots without question, and it was only a matter of hours until people began dropping dead, while many others collapsed with a disease of such virulence that no one had ever seen anything like it before.
... They had all the characteristics of the diseases they had been vaccinated against.
... Disaster ran rampant in the camps. Some of the military hospitals were filled with nothing but paralyzed soldiers, and they were called war casualties, even before they left American soil.
... The doctors didn't want this massive vaccine disease to reflect on them, so they, agreed among themselves to call it Spanish Influenza. Spain was a far away place and some of the soldiers had been there, so the idea of calling it Spanish Influenza seemed to be a good way to lay the blame on someone else.
... 20,000,000 died of that flu epidemic, worldwide, and it seemed to be almost universal or as far away as the vaccinations reached. Greece and a few other countries, which did not accept the vaccines, were the only ones that were not hit by the flu... At home the only ones who escaped the influenza were those who had refused the vaccinations."

WHAT ARE 'FALSE FLAGS' AND WHY DO THEY MATTER?

"The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror."

Josef Stalin

"The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people's support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism."

Washington's Blog, 2010

"The easiest way to carry out a false flag attack is by setting up a military exercise that simulates the very attack you want to carry out . This is exactly how government perpetrators in the US and UK handled the 9/11 and 7/7 "terror" attacks, which were in reality government attacks blamed on "terrorists"."

Captain Eric H. May, former Army military intelligence and public affairs officer, 2008

"What a strange coincidence that the authorities were running terror drills at the same time, simulating the same scenarios, in the same area. If this happened one time, it could be written off as a coincidence.
However, when you learn that drills were being run the same time as the 9/11 attacks, the 7/7 London bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Madrid bombing, the Norway Oslo attacks, the Sandy Hook shooting, the Aurora movie theater shooting, and the Boston bombing, you must understand that this is not a coincidence. This is a pattern."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"The false flag attack of September 11, 2001, was the instrument for destroying the bill of rights. The George W. Bush regime made us "safe" by taking away our civil liberties. Habeas corpus, the foundation of liberty, was destroyed by the executive branch's assertion that the President on his sole authority, the US Constitution notwithstanding, can detain US citizens indefinitely without evidence, without going before a court, without any accountability to law whatsoever.
The Obama regime not only endorsed this murder of the US Constitution, Obama even went further. He declared that he had the power to sit in his office and write down names of US citizens whom he could murder at will without accountability.
Congress did not object. The Supreme Court did not object. The American media did not object. The law schools and bar associations did not object. The Republican Party did not object. The Democratic Party did not object. The American people did not object. Washington's allies in Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada did not object. The Christian churches did not object."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was not caused solely by the truck bomb. Evidence shows that the massive destruction was primarily the result of four demolition charges placed at critical structural points at the third floor".

US Air Force munitions expert General Benton K. Partin wrote to the US Senate

"If the real authorship of state-sponsored terrorism is to be successfully concealed, then a collection of scapegoats is the first ingredient required. These may be defined as the patsies, or alternatively as fall-guys, scapegoats, useful idiots, stooges or dupes. It is necessary that they be of low mental ability and great gullibility, since their mission is to be part of false-flag groups which pretend to be working for a cause, while in reality they are under the control of a private network inside the US government.
... 9/11 was an example of state-sponsored, false-flag, synthetic terrorism. The 9/11 events were organized and directed by a rogue network of high government and military officials of the United States, with a certain participation by the intelligence agencies of Britain and Israel, and with a more general backup from the intelligence agencies of the other Echelon states Australia, New Zealand, Canada."

Webster Griffin Tarpley in his book "9/11 Synthetic Terror - made in the USA"

"For many Americans, the idea that we are living in a country whose own leaders planned and carried out the attacks of 9/11 is simply too horrible to entertain. Unfortunately, however, there is strong evidence in support of this view."

"The question was how should we maneuver them [Japan] into firing the first shot... it was desirable to make sure the Japanese be the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt as to who were the aggressors."

"Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, Elliott Abrams, and Condoleezza Rice ran the 9/11 attacks.
It was called a stand down, a false flag operation in order to mobilize the American public under false pretenses... it was told to me by the general on the staff of Wolfowitz.
I taught stand down and false flag operations at the national war college, I've taught it with all my operatives so I knew exactly what was done to the American public."

Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik , Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Nixon, Ford and Carter

"Sandy Hook was what is known as an Integrated Capstone Event (ICE), and these events involve numerous federal and local agencies including local police. This "event" was a drill that was put on by DHS and FEMA as a training exercise to coordinate federal, state and local emergency response teams in the case of a mass-casualty event. This was just a simulated event for training purposes. The event was not a real school shooting, and nobody actually died at Sandy Hook."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"All that is necessary for success of "false flag" or "black ops" events is for the government to have its story ready and to have a reliable and compliant media. Once an official story is in place, thought and investigation are precluded. Any formal inquiry that is convened serves to buttress the already provided explanation."

Paul Craig Roberts

POWER: "At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now."
BBC HOST: "To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?"
POWER: "Precisely."

Peter Power, former Scotland Yard anti-terrorism agent, who was a contract employee working in government exercises on the day of the July 2007 London railway bombings - interviewed by BBC

"The owner of all three [World Trade Center] buildings was Larry Silverstein, who had recently doubled the insurance value of the Twin Towers. He stated in a PBS interview that he and the New York Fire Department agreed to a controlled demolition of WTC 7. Since skyscrapers are not normally wired for demolition -- unless someone intends to demolish them -- Silverstein's statement is an admission that 9/11 was an inside job."

Captain Eric H. May, former Army military intelligence and public affairs officer, 2008

"The U.S. government declassified documents showing that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan [Operation Northwoods] to blow up American airplanes, and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba."

Washington's Blog, Global Research, 2010

"The Israeli embassy had been advised in advance by Scotland Yard of an impending bomb attack [London, July 7, 2005]:
Just before the blasts, Scotland Yard called the security officer at the Israeli Embassy to say they had received warnings of possible attacks.
... Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by his embassy not to attend an economic conference. Netanyahu was staying at the Aidridge Hotel in Mayfair. The conference venue was a few miles away at the Great Eastern Hotel close to the Liverpool subway station; where one of the bomb blasts occurred."

Michel Chossudovsky in his book " America's War on Terrorism"

"When you are a patriot, you don't question the motivation of the CIA or the White House. You assume the bigger purpose is for a greater good. They pick good, loyal people like me.
... WTC 7 was a classic controlled demolition with explosives. We used super-fine military grade nanothermite composite materials as explosives. The hard part was getting thousands of pounds of explosives, fuses and ignition mechanisms into the building without causing too much concern. But almost every single office in the Building 7 was rented by the CIA, the Secret Service, or the military, which made it easier.
... When the building came down, it was such a rush. Everything went exactly to plan. It was so smooth. Everybody was evacuated. Nobody was hurt in WTC 7. We were celebrating. We kept watching replays of the demolition, we had the whiskey and cigars out, and then all of a sudden the strangest thing happened. We all started to worry that it looked a bit too smooth. We watched the tape again and again and again and we started to get paranoid. It looked like a controlled demolition. We thought shit, people are going to question this. And then we heard that people from the street were reporting that they heard the explosions during the afternoon. When we were told that the BBC botched their report and announced to the world that the building collapsed 20 minutes before it actually did At that point we really thought the gig was up.
... There were so many loose ends, so much evidence left behind. We thought the public would be all over it. We thought there would be a public uprising that the media couldn't ignore. They'd be funding investigations and demanding to know why they were being lied to. We thought they'd find chemical composites in the area that would prove Building 7 was blown up.
"We thought there would be a revolution. It would go all the way to the top, to President Bush. He'd be dragged out of the White House.
"But none of that happened. Almost nobody questioned anything. The media shot down anyone who dared question anything they were told.
... There could never be a real investigation of 9/11. The entire shadow government, as you call them now, are implicated.
... They will use the media to attack me. They are all on the payroll to suppress everything around 9/11."

WAR ON TERRORISM & WAR ON DRUGS
WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR PERPETUAL WARS AND WHO DO THEY BENEFIT?

"You want to know what the War On Drugs was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968 and the Nixon White House after that had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course, we did."

John Ehrlichman, Richard Nixon's Assistant for Domestic Affairs - told to journalist Dan Baum in 1994

"There is zero reason for US officials to want an end to the war on terror, and numerous and significant reasons why they would want it to continue. It's always been the case that the power of political officials is at its greatest, its most unrestrained, in a state of war."

www.washingtonsblog.com, 2014

"We've reached the point where state actors can penetrate rectums and vaginas, where judges can order forced catheterizations, and where police and medical personnel can perform scans, enemas and colonoscopies without the suspect's consent. And these procedures aren't to nab kingpins or cartels, but people who at worst are hiding an amount of drugs that can fit into a body cavity. In most of these cases, they were suspected only of possession or ingestion. Many of them were innocent But these tactics aren't about getting drugs off the street These tactics are instead about degrading and humiliating a class of people that politicians and law enforcement have deemed the enemy."

Radley Balko

"In reviewing the history of the English Government, its wars and its taxes, a bystander, not blinded by prejudice, nor warped by interest, would declare, that taxes were not raised to carry on wars, but that wars were raised to carry on taxes."

Thomas Paine wrote in the Rights of Man

"We are going to have a war on terror which you can never win, and so you can always keep taking people's liberties away. The media is going to convince everybody that the war on terror is real. The ultimate goal is to get everybody in the world chipped with an RFID chip, and have all money be on the chips, and if anyone wants to protest what we do, we turn off the chip."

Nicholas Rockefeller to producer Aaron Russo - eleven months before the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks

"The permanent possibility of war is the foundation for stable government; it supplies the basis for general acceptance of political authority. It has enabled societies to maintain necessary class distinctions, and it has ensured the subordination of the citizen to the state, by virtue of the residual war powers inherent in the concept of nationhood. No modern political ruling group has successfully controlled its constituency after failing to sustain the continuing credibility of an external threat of war."

from "Report from Iron Mountain"

"The war on drugs has nothing at all to do with drugs. It is part of an all-out war on the American people by a government interested only in control."

Gore Vidal in his book "The Decline and Fall of the American Empire"

"In the US's so-called War on Terror, by far the greatest and most systematic terrorization of civilians, is in fact perpetrated by the US state itself. Unarmed citizens are murdered across the world as 'collateral damage', 'illegal enemy combatants' or other license of impunity. The US state conceives itself as above international law along with ally Israel, but this reality is taboo to report and so too all the killing and terrorization of civilians. One can truly say that "the historical record demonstrates the US is provably guilty of continual lawless mass murder of civilians across the world", but the truth is unthinkable within the ruling ideological regime."

John McMurtry

"Wars are very useful for making major changes to a society because the fog of war hides the true intent of those in power. Restrictions are implemented, and regulations are lifted. If the politicians are able to convince the masses that these changes are being made to protect the people, and they can convince everyone that any opposition to these new rules is unpatriotic, there is almost no limit to a number of changes that can be forced onto the people to alter their society."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"The fundamentalist-Sunni royal family of the Sauds have bought the highest levels of the U.S. government in order to control U.S. foreign policies, especially the ongoing wars to take down the governments of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and ultimately of Russia itself, which latter nation has allied itself instead with Shiia countries."

Eric Zuesse, 2015

"The profits behind the war industry are what drives the demand for war.
Enemies are always needed, and the corporate media will tell us how evil the new enemy is. If it's not communism it's terrorism.
For those who direct the war industry, terrorism is much more flexible than communism or other so-called enemies.
The United States will always be at war because war is so profitable."

Christian Sorenson

"Since World War II, 90 percent of the casualties of war are unarmed civilians, a third of them children. Our victims have done nothing to us. From Palestine to Afghanistan to Iraq to Somalia to wherever our next target may be, their murders are not collateral damage. They are the nature of modern warfare. They don't hate us because of our freedoms. They hate us because every day, we are funding and committing crimes against humanity.
The so-called 'War on Terror' is a cover for our military aggression to gain control of the resources for Western nations. This is sending the poor of this country to kill the poor of those Muslim countries. This is trading blood for oil. This is genocide, and to most of the world, we are the terrorists.
... Our soldiers don't sacrifice for duty, honor, and country. They sacrifice for Kellogg, Brown, and Root. They don't fight for America-they fight for their lives and their buddies beside them because we put them in a war zone. They're not defending our freedoms-they are laying the foundations for permanent military bases to defend the freedoms of ExxonMobil and British Petroleum. They're not establishing democracy; they're establishing the basis for an economic occupation to continue after the military occupation has ended."

Dr. Dahlia Wasfi, in a speech to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, April 27, 2006

"There is no War on Terror. There is a war which is being waged using terrorist proxy groups and they are being used against nation states who are resisting US and Israeli hegemony. And they are also being used as a means of disciplining the work forces in Europe. In a period of mass unemployment and austerity, you now have terrorist attacks being committed by terrorists funded, armed and trained by Western intelligence agencies. There is no such thing as ISIS. ISIS is a creation of the United States."

journalist Gearold O Colmain

"So you have an international terrorist (Osama bin Laden) trained and funded by the CIA, an international terrorist organization (the Kosovo Liberation Army - KLA) trained and funded by the British, American and German secret services and special forces, and an American establishment (Clinton, Gore, Clark, Albright, Holbrooke, Lieberman - all Bilderberg and CFR members who represent the interests of the new world order - fighting to establish democracy and bring justice to a long-suffering and oppressed people."

investigative journalist Daniel Estulin in his book "Shadow Masters"

"Private military contractors (PMCs) have helped sustain and promote an array of conflicts including Libya, Afghanistan, Syria and again Iraq. They have taken over many CIA-functions such as efforts to infiltrate and co-opt social movements as in the Arab Spring. They have also been crucial to the War on Drugs and are invariably found at the forefront in lobbying to increase drone use including on the U.S.-Mexican border and for domestic policing."

Jeremy Kuzmarov

"If you were a US leader, or an official of the National Security State, or a beneficiary of the private military and surveillance industries, why would you possibly want the war on terror to end? That would be the worst thing that could happen. It's that war that generates limitless power, impenetrable secrecy, an unquestioning citizenry, and massive profit."

www.washingtonsblog.com, 2014

"The rapidity with which the U.S. is being transformed into a police state is astonishing. It has occurred under the guise of "the war on terror," itself a product of 9/11. Americans were told that the police state regime was only for terrorists, but the suspension of constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties now extends to all.
Americans regard such warnings as hyperbole. They think they are safe as long as they are not doing anything wrong. In other words, they think that anyone the government picks up must be guilty.
This view shows a remarkable ignorance of the 20th century. Nazi concentration camps and the Soviet Gulag were full of people who had done nothing wrong. Many were people demonized for being of the wrong race and class. Others were people reported by envious neighbors or by someone settling a score. The system didn't care, because it existed independently of any concerns about justice or security."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied: and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

James Madison

"The arbitrary nature of war expenditures and of other military activities make them ideally suited to control the essential class relationships. Obviously, if the war system were to be discarded, new political machinery would be needed at once to serve this vital subfunction. Until it is developed, the continuance of the war system must be assured, if for no other reason, among others, than to preserve whatever quality and degree of poverty a society requires as an incentive, as well as to maintain the stability of its internal organization of power."

"While the US issues certifications to judge countries on their ability to stop drug traffic, Big Oil produces 90% of the chemicals needed to process cocaine and heroin, which CIA surrogates grow, process and distribute."

Dean Henderson in his book "Big Oil & Their Bankers In The Persian Gulf"

"It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans. These and a variety of other motives, which affect only the mind of the sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice or the voice and interests of his people."

John Jay in Federalist No 4

"A competent war on drugs must begin with a war against the banking institutions and bankers who 'launder' Dope, Inc.'s ill-gotten gains...Shut down the drug money-laundering by the major Anglo-American banks, and the dope cartel would choke to death on its own profits... Dope, Inc.'s vulnerable flank is the international network of banks and other financial institutions that 'launder' the cartel's $558 billion per year in gross revenue... Action by governments against the drug bankers could rapidly shut down Dope, Inc.."

DOPE, INC., Executive Intelligence Review, 1992

"A U.S. military counterinsurgency document. It gave instructions on how to create terror; this was the way they put it. And they described methods used in the Philippines in the campaign against the Huks.
In the case of the Philippines they were talking about leaving the bodies by the rivers. So you mutilate the bodies, you cut them, you amputate, and then you display the bodies on the riversides to stir terror in the population. And of course that's exactly what ISIS is doing today.
[In Indonesia in 1965] the CIA weighed in with a list of 5,000 targets for assassination. The U.S. press was hailing it at the time. They were calling it a gleam of light in Asia. Gen. Suharto was installed in power as a result of this process. Suharto later, in the mid-'70s, sought the permission of President Ford and Henry Kissinger to invade the small neighboring country of East Timor, which was then emerging into independence from having been a Portuguese colony. They gave the green light. They just said do it quickly. They went in [and] killed a third of the population.
It's the exact same tactics in country after country, with local adaptations, and often the officers are all trained at the same U.S. military bases-Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, Leavenworth and at the Inter-American Defense College, in the case of the Latin American officers.

In Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, it's reached the point of political and social breakdown. There's no stopping it. It's out of control. There are not two sides. It has fractured into many sides. It's analogous to what happened in Cambodia, with the massive U.S. bombing of Cambodia, which paved the way for the rise of the Khmer Rouge. It has destroyed any semblance of normal politics or even society. In that kind of environment the most evil, the most violent, have a better chance to rise and prevail.

We're now in a moment where operations of willful murder on the part of the U.S. and provocation have come back to bite the United States. That doesn't usually happen. There was no consequence like that from Central America. There was no consequence like that from Haiti, Palestine or South Africa. But in this case it happened. Operations like the U.S. backing of the mujahedeen to repel the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan ... the U.S. backing of the various anti-Assad Islamist forces in Syria, have given birth to first al-Qaida and then ISIS. That wasn't the U.S. intention. They didn't want to create al-Qaida in the sense of the al-Qaida that attacks the U.S. They didn't want to create an ISIS, which is now a political nightmare."

"Without war, no government bas ever been able to obtain acquiescence in its 'legitimacy' or right to rule its society. The possibility of war provides the sense of external necessity without which no government can long remain in power."

"As America becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."

Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1997 book "The Grand Chessboard

"The world order doesn't allow for any frontal attack aimed at destroying narco-trafficking because that business, which moves $400 billion annually, is far too important for the leading nations of world power to eliminate. The US punishes those countries which don't do enough to fight against drugs, whereas their CIA boys have built paradises of corruption throughout the world with the drug profits."

"In October 2001 a UN report confirmed that the Taliban had successfully eliminated the year's opium production in Afghanistan, which in recent years had supplied 90 percent of Europe's heroin... Following the defeat of the Taliban, farmers began replanting wheat fields with opium poppy."

"Washington's "war on drugs" is directed towards increasing U.S. power in Latin America. The use of drug money laundered through U.S. banks finances Washington's trade imbalances, while the drug war increases Washington's general influence over economic policy."

James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer in their book "Globalization Unmasked"

"The so-called "War on Drugs" is a cruel joke. Its official purpose is, at best, to reduce the drug trade by 50% over a 10-year period. In practice, this means Washington is picking and choosing which drug mafias will survive and flourish, and which will be driven out of business... Throughout, the financial controllers of Dope, Inc. are protected from all prosecution."

DOPE, INC., Executive Intelligence Review, 1992

"The "war on terrorism" purports to defend the American Homeland and protect the "civilized world". It is upheld as a "war of religion", a "clash of civilizations", when in fact the main objective of this war is to secure control and corporate ownership over the region's extensive oil wealth [Middle East], while also imposing under the helm of the IMF and the World Bank, the privatization of state enterprises and the transfer of the countries' economic assets into the hands of foreign capital."

Michel Chossudovsky

"Terrorism has become a sort of screen created since the end of the Cold War by policymakers in Washington ... It is fabricated to keep the population afraid and insecure, and to justify what the United States wishes to do globally."

Edward Said

"War spending, considered pragmatically, has been a consistently positive factor in the rise of gross national product and of individual productivity... No combination of techniques for controlling employment, production, and consumption has yet been tested that can remotely compare to war in effectiveness. It is, and has been, the essential economic stabilizer of modern societies."

from "Report from Iron Mountain"

"Countries we seek to dominate, from Indonesia and Guatemala to Iraq and Afghanistan, are intimately familiar with these brutal mechanisms of control. But the reality of empire rarely reaches the American public. The few atrocities that come to light are dismissed as isolated aberrations. The public is assured what has been uncovered will be investigated and will not take place again. The goals of empire, we are told by a subservient media and our ruling elites, are virtuous and noble. And the vast killing machine grinds forward, feeding, as it has always done, the swollen bank accounts of defense contractors and corporations that exploit natural resources and cheap labor around the globe."

investigative journalist Allan Nairn

"To sustain "the War on Terrorism" agenda, fabricated realities funneled on a day to day basis into the news chain, must become indelible truths which form part of a broad political and media consensus. In this regard, the corporate media is an instrument of this evolving totalitarian system."

Michel Chossudovsky, 2005

"The war on terror as seen by Washington and a complaisant US media is the ultimate money and power machine, requiring a huge military and intelligence commitment that is endless and not confined to any part of the world. As terror has no capital city or national identity the war against it cannot end through capture and surrender. As it is a secret war, it can be waged using unconventional methods, without regard for the deaths of civilians who are seen as "sheltering" the terrorists, guaranteeing that the blood of the innocent will produce new generations raised hating America. The bleeding will continue forever and everywhere as long as there are terrorists, justifying government intrusion into the lives of the citizens at home and huge and unsustainable budgets to wage the war worldwide. It is George Orwell's dark vision of '1984' turned into reality. Tyranny and bankruptcy will be the war on terror's legacy."

Philip Giraldi, 2009

"A 'war on terrorism' is a war without an end in sight, without an exit strategy, with enemies specified not by their aims but by their tactics. Relying principally on military means is like trying to eliminate a cloud of mosquitoes with a machine gun... A war on terrorism is a permanent engagement against an always-available tool."

Ronald Spiers, a retired diplomat

"There is no war on terrorism. If there was, the Royal Marines and the SAS would be storming the beaches of Florida, where more CIA-funded terrorists, ex-Latin American dictators and torturers, are given refuge than anywhere on earth."

John Pilger

"Homeland Security has announced that it is no longer focused on terrorists, but on domestic extremists, and that's war protesters, radical enviromentalists and people that disagree with the government."

ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND CHAOS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
ARE ISLAMIC JIHADISTS INCLUDING AL-QUEDA AND ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS, ISIL, DAESH) FUNDED AND/OR SUPPORTED BY
UNITED STATES, ISRAEL, AND SAUDI ARABIA AND PERSIAN GULF MONARCHIES?

"Across the Mideast, Arab leaders routinely accuse the U.S. of having created the Islamic State. To most Americans, such accusations seem insane. However, to many Arabs, the evidence of U.S. involvement is so abundant that they conclude that our role in fostering the Islamic State must have been deliberate.
In fact, many of the Islamic State fighters and their commanders are ideological and organizational successors to the jihadists that the CIA has been nurturing for more than 30 years from Syria and Egypt to Afghanistan and Iraq."

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

"In the mid-1980s, Al Qaeda was a database located in computer and dedicated to the communications of the Islamic Conference's secretariat. It was but natural for Osama bin Laden to be connected to this network. He is a member of an important family in the banking and business world. When Osama bin Laden was an American agent in Afghanistan, the Al-Qaeda Intranet was a good communication system through coded or covert messages... The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al-Qaeda. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money."

Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence, 2004

"ISIS is an operation by the West to create the greater Israel."

James Henry Fetzer, 2014

"Al Qaeda is nothing more than a broad euphemistic umbrella classification used to group any Middle Eastern fighter under the sun as an enemy. The most diabolical aspect of this public relations stunt is that it enables Washington to label any group it feels necessary to attack to appear to be related to an improvable organized enemy while at the same time actually increasing its approval ratings by exploiting the basic primal fears of the American public."

Sarvat N. Hanif

"ISIS, like its predecessor al-Qaeda, is a joint American-Saudi-Israeli project to destabilize and fracture the Middle East and North Africa by thrusting criminal malcontents against Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iran and other countries not presently under Western/ Israeli control."

Brandon Martinez

"To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the George W. Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with Saudi Arabia's government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda (including ISIS/Islamic State)."

Seymour Hersh in his article "The Redirection: Is the Administration's new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?" (2007)

"A key component of ISIS's support comes from wealthy individuals in the Arab Gulf States of Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia."

Mike Krieger

"The fundamentalist-Sunni royal family of the Sauds have bought the highest levels of the U.S. government in order to control U.S. foreign policies, especially the ongoing wars to take down the governments of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and ultimately of Russia itself, which latter nation has allied itself instead with Shiia countries."

Eric Zuesse, 2015

"Al Qaeda has been supported and financed from its inception in the early 1980s by the CIA."

Michel Chossudovsky

"The policy paper [by the Israeli Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies] advocated a strategy that bears startling resemblance to the chaos unfolding in the wake of the expansion of the 'Islamic State' - Israel would 'shape its strategic environment' by first securing the removal of Saddam Hussein. Jordan and Turkey would form an axis along with Israel to weaken and "roll back" Syria.' This axis would attempt to weaken the influence of Lebanon, Syria and Iran by 'weaning' off their Shi'ite populations."

investigative journalist Nafeez Ahmed, 2014 - about a 1996 paper published by the Israeli Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, co-authored by former Pentagon official Richard Perle

"Substantial and sustained funding from private donors in Saudi Arabia and Qatar has played a central role in the ISIS surge into Sunni areas of Iraq... The tribal and communal leadership in Sunni majority provinces is much beholden to Saudi and Gulf paymasters, and would be unlikely to cooperate with ISIS without their consent.
Western governments traditionally play down the connection between Saudi Arabia and its Wahhabist faith, on the one hand, and jihadism, whether of the variety espoused by Osama bin Laden and al-Qa'ida or by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's ISIS, but there is nothing conspiratorial or secret about these links: 15 out of 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, as was Bin Laden and most of the private donors who funded the operation."

Patrick Cockburn, 2014

"Israel has actively worked toward the balkanization of the Middle East with the view of asserting its own political supremacy."

Catherine Shakdam, 2014

"The fact that ISIS has not moved against Israel and instead focused on killing Muslims actually says a lot about this organization's real mission."

Dr. Kevin Barrett, a Ph.D. Arabist-Islamologist

"There is no War on Terror. There is a war which is being waged using terrorist proxy groups and they are being used against nation states who are resisting US and Israeli hegemony. And they are also being used as a means of disciplining the work forces in Europe. In a period of mass unemployment and austerity, you now have terrorist attacks being committed by terrorists funded, armed and trained by Western intelligence agencies. There is no such thing as ISIS. ISIS is a creation of the United States."

journalist Gearold O Colmain

"Looking at a map of the Middle East, it is obvious that ISIS militants sit exactly where Zionists imagine Greater Israel should be. Are we to believe that ISIS' campaigns in Iraq and Syria and its push toward Egypt and Jordan are but a coincidence?"

Yuram Abdullah Weiler, a political analyst and columnist in Tehran, Iran

"It was the United States itself that intentionally created ISIS, beginning as early as 2007 for the expressed purpose of overthrowing the government of Syria and confronting pro-Iranian forces across the Middle East from Lebanon to Iran's very doorstep."

Tony Cartalucci, 2014

"Since 2003, Anglo-American power has secretly and openly coordinated direct and indirect support for Islamist terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda across the Middle East and North Africa. This ill-conceived patchwork geostrategy is a legacy of the persistent influence of neoconservative ideology, motivated by longstanding but often contradictory ambitions to dominate regional oil resources, defend an expansionist Israel, and in pursuit of these, re-draw the map of the Middle East."

investigative journalist Nafeez Ahmed

"There are striking similarities between ISIS and Zionists, not only in the formulation and expression of their radical views but also in the deep-seated belief that the assertion of their ideology entails the destruction and negation of all others. Moreover, both groups operate on the same political plane and both advocate territorial expansion and political absorption."

Catherine Shakdam

"After the fall of the Soviet Union, the superpowers began to fight over control of Central Asia, particularly the oil and gas wealth, as well as the strategic value of the region.
Given the history, and the distrust of the West, the US realized that it couldn't get direct control, and therefore would need to use a proxy to gain control quickly and effectively. Turkey was the perfect proxy; a NATO ally and a puppet regime. Turkey shares the same heritage/race as the entire population of Central Asia, the same language (Turkic), the same religion (Sunni Islam), and of course, the strategic location and proximity.
This started more than a decade-long illegal, covert operation in Central Asia by a small group in the US intent on furthering the oil industry and the Military Industrial Complex, using Turkish operatives, Saudi partners and Pakistani allies, furthering this objective in the name of Islam.
These illegal covert operations by the Turks and certain US persons dates back to 1996, and involves terrorist activities, narcotics, weapons smuggling and money laundering, converging around the same operations and involving the same actors."

Sibel Edmonds, 2008

"Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qa'ida, the Taliban, and other terrorist groups.
What destabilised Iraq from 2011 on was the revolt of the Sunni in Syria and the takeover of that revolt by jihadis, who were often sponsored by donors in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates."

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - in December 2009 in a cable released by Wikileaks

"The so-called "Islamic State" (ISIS) is supplied not by "black market oil" or "hostage ransoms" but billions of dollars worth of supplies carried into Syria across NATO member Turkey's borders via hundreds of trucks a day.
Since at least as early as 2011, NATO member Turkey has allowed a torrent in supplies, fighters, and weapons to cross its borders to resupply ISIS positions inside of Syria.
The supplies trucks stream across the border from Ankara, various ports used by NATO, and NATO's Incirlik Air Base.
It is a certainty that Turkey is not only aware of this, but directly complicit."

Tony Cartalucci, 2014

"Osama bin Laden in his cave must be rubbing his hands in glee as we embark on the very process that terrorists of his stamp so relish: as we hastily double up our police and intelligence forces and award them greater powers, as we put basic civil rights on hold and curtail press freedom, impose news blackouts and secret censorship, spy on ourselves and, at our worst, violate mosques and hound luckless citizens in our streets because we are afraid of the color of their skin."

John le Carre

"The Bush family and the House of Saud, the two most powerful dynasties in the world, have had close personal, business, and political ties for more than 20 years.
... Just days after 9/11, wealthy Saudi Arabians, including members of the bin Laden family, were whisked out of the U.S. on private jets. No one will admit to clearing the flights, and the passengers weren't questioned. Did the Bush family's long relationship with the Saudis help make it happen?"

John Perkins

"During the 1980s and early '90s, the CIA worked in partnership with BCCI [Bank of Credit and Commerce International] in what was, at the time, the agency's largest covert operation ever, pumping an estimated $10 billion into funding the Afghan Mujahideen. Through this operation, Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network was formed. Bin Laden had accounts in BCCI and ran CIA/BCCI-funded camps."

David Degraw

"The US has been working covertly with Saudi Arabia and British military intelligence for more than three decades to foster and fuel al-Qaeda extremists, beginning in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Union from the late 1970s until 1990.
Since then, al-Qaeda has served as a protean ideological cover for imperialist predation in the Middle East and beyond. It has undergone many reinventions with mercurial name changes along the way. But the bottom line is that it is a Western/Saudi creation, which alternates between an enemy of convenience and a ruthless proxy for waging regime change."

Finian Cunningham

"George H. W. Bush, the father of President George W. Bush, works for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia through the Carlyle Group, an international consulting firm."

Gore Vidal

"ISIS (Islamic State) didn't just arise out of the earth - they needed money, weapons, logistics, propaganda facilities, and international connections to reach the relatively high level of organization and lethality they seem to have achieved in such a short period of time. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the rest of the oil-rich Gulf states have been backing ISIS all the way.
The US was in a de facto alliance with the groups that merged to form ISIS, and Washington started funding Syrian rebel groups whose composition and leadership kept changing. By funding the Free Syrian Army (FSA), our "vetted" Syrian Islamists, this administration has actively worked to defeat the only forces capable of rooting out ISIS from its Syrian nest - Assad's Ba'athist government."

Justin Raimondo, 2014

"ISIS constitutes NATO's mercenary expeditionary force, ravaging its enemies by proxy from Libya in North Africa to Lebanon and Syria in the Levant, to Iraq and even to the borders of Iran. Its seemingly inexhaustible supply of weapons, cash, and fighters can only be explained by multinational state sponsorship and safe havens provided by NATO."

Tony Cartalucci, 2014

"Al-Qaeda was established under the authority of President Reagan on March 27, 1985, with National Security Directive 166. This established a broad cover organization that could engage in arms and financial transactions otherwise prohibited by US."

Gordon Duff

"The actions of Al-Qaeda have only served to promote the interests of the U.S. and Israel, which are clearly interested in "reshaping" the Middle East in such a way that they can more easily rape and plunder the region at will. In fact, the CIA is using the terrorist actions of its proxy Al-Qaeda in order to give the U.S. an excuse to extend their power into and invade the Arab countries, first countries with rich plunder (oil) like Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and second any country which is a "threat" to Israel, or more exactly which Israel dislikes for whatever reason. The third objective for which the CIA is using its proxy Al-Qaeda is to engender fear and hate of Islam and Muslims worldwide. This corresponds to an old and tried ploy of colonizers: to slander and denigrate the target population so that it is acceptable and even called for to commit genocide against them."

John Kaminski

"Humans only truly unite when faced with a powerful external enemy. At this time a new enemy must be found, one either real or invented for the purpose."

Club of Rome, 1991

"Osama bin Laden ran MAK (Maktab al-Khidamat), an organization created by Pakistan's ISI at the behest of the CIA. It funneled money, weapons, and internationally recruited fighters into the war created in part by Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Osama was closely tied to the Afghan warlord and ISI stooge Gulbuddin Hekmatyar who ran drugs for the CIA. In the 1980s, emissaries from the United States met with Osama. The CIA paid Osama to train the militant group Abu Sayyaf and others at his CIA-built camps in Afghanistan]

Kurt Nimmo

"Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the organizers nor the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders. Thus, a team of professionals had to be created and the Arab kamikazes are just extras to mask the operation.
The September 11 operation modified the course of events in the world in the direction chosen by transnational mafias and international oligarchs; that is, those who hope to control the planet's natural resources, the world information network and the financial flows. This operation also favored the US economic and political elite that also seeks world dominance."

General Leonid Ivashov, one of the most senior of Russian military figures, in a speech delivered in an international conference in Brussels in early 2006

"With the documented conspiracy of the US and its allies to create a sectarian mercenary force aligned to Al Qaeda, the so-called "moderate rebels" the US has openly backed in Syria are now fully revealed as sectarian extremists, and now with a torrent of supplies originating in Turkey, it is clear that the ISIS menace NATO poses as the solution to, was in fact NATO all along."

Tony Cartalucci, 2014

"The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism.

former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook to the House of Commons

"Anyone who doesn't pretend Al Qaeda exists is ostracized. Neither is there now nor has there ever been such an organization. The Department of Justice invented it and the CIA, Mossad and other organizations are responsible for the terrorist acts falsely attributed to it.
... Osama bin Laden was never a terrorist, died in 2001, denied any complicity in 9/11 and was a CIA agent, both loved and respected by his American co-workers with whom I have spoken extensively. He never committed a single act, had no terror network and was the chosen trustee of all American Stinger missiles used against the Soviet Union. Technically, he is an American hero."

Gordon Duff, 2012

"The "war on terror" is a hoax that fronts for American control of oil pipelines, the profits of the military-security complex, the assault on civil liberty by fomenters of a police state, and Israel's territorial expansion.
There were no al Qaeda in Iraq until the Americans brought them there by invading and overthrowing Saddam Hussein, who kept al Qaeda out of Iraq. The Taliban is not a terrorist organization, but a movement attempting to unify Afghanistan under Muslim law. The only Americans threatened by the Taliban are the Americans Bush sent to Afghanistan to kill Taliban and to impose a puppet state on the Afghan people."

Paul Craig Roberts

"There are dangerous and fanatical individuals and groups around the world who have been inspired by extreme Islamist ideas and who will use the techniques of mass terror... But the nightmare vision of a uniquely powerful hidden organization waiting to strike our societies is an illusion. Wherever one looks for this Al Qaeda organization, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the 'sleeper cells' in America, the British and Americans are chasing a phantom enemy."

from the BBC documentary "The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear"

"During the Cold War, Washington officials of course couldn't say that they were intervening to block social change, so they called it fighting communism, fighting a communist conspiracy, and of course fighting for freedom and democracy. Just like now the White House can't say that it invaded Iraq to expand the empire, or for the oil, or for the corporations, or for Israel, so it says it's fighting terrorism. The word "communist" was used exceptionally loosely during the Cold War, just as the word "terrorist" is used these days; or "al-Qaeda"-almost every individual or group that Washington wants to stigmatize is charged with being a member of al-Qaeda, as if there's a precise and meaningful distinction between people retaliating against American imperialism while being a member of al-Qaeda and people retaliating against American imperialism while not being a member of al-Qaeda; as if al-Qaeda gives out membership cards to fit into your wallet, as if there are chapters of al-Qaeda that put out a weekly newsletter, and hold a potluck on the first Monday of each month. U.S. policies keep creating new anti-American terrorists, whom Washington calls al-Qaeda, which justifies continuing the same policies to fight the new al-Qaeda terrorists."

"William Blum

"What we see happening on the part of what they are calling ISIS or ISIL is a reforming of borders. Parts of Syria and Iraq are becoming, if the Islamists succeed, a new state.
One of the reasons that the breakup of Iraq and Syria was not seen as a threat to Israel, was that the Israeli and the neoconservative strategists reasoned "if we break up these states and they are fighting internally, there won't be any organized government to get in Israel's way".
In place of Iraq, there will be these warring factions. In place of Syria, warring factions, just like in Libya today. And a state that has no central government is no threat to Israel. And, therefore, we favor this destruction of the political entities of these countries, because it releases us from any sort of organized government's opposition to Israel's theft of Palestine."

Paul Craig Roberts

"For financial or political reasons, Empires have always used external militarized cells and mercenaries to commit unsavoury acts under a flag different than the monarchy, nation-state, or private corporation who was directing them behind the scenes."

IS NEOLIBERAL AUSTERITY IN THE U.S. AND EUROPE
A STEP TOWARD A GLOBAL GRAND MERGER?
THE 'ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT' AGENDA

"The master planners devised the strategy of a merger - a Great Merger - among nations.
But before such a merger can be consummated, and the United States becomes just another province in a New World Order, there must at least be the semblance of parity among the senior partners in the deal. How does one make the nations of the world more nearly equal? The Insiders determined that a two-prong approach was needed; use American money and know-how to build up your competitors, while at the same time use every devious strategy you can devise to weaken and impoverish this country. The goal is not to bankrupt the United States. Rather, it is to reduce our productive might, and therefore our standard of living, to the meager subsistence level of the socialized nations of the world.
The plan is not to bring the standard of living in less developed countries up to our level, but to bring ours down to meet theirs coming up... It is your standard of living which must be sacrificed on the altar of the New World Order."

Gary Allen in his book "The Rockefeller File"

"Freidrich Hegel's Hegelian dialectic put forth a process whereby opposites 'thesis' and 'antithesis' are reconciled into 'synthesis'. The Rothschild's Business Roundtable that sponsored him saw in the dialectic a boon to their monopolies by presenting phony communism (antithesis) as bogeyman to capitalism (thesis)... By upholding Soviet state capitalism to all the world as an example of "failed Communism", the bankers could discredit this dangerous idea while producing their desired 'synthesis' - a New World Order ruled by the Illuminati banking families and Black Nobility monarchs, with laissez faire monopoly capitalism as their economic paradigm."

Dean Henderson in his book "Big Oil & Their Bankers In The Persian Gulf"

"With all of the alleged points of conflict between Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and the West, the notion that Russia and its allies may someday "merge" or "converge" with the United States might sound ludicrous. Still, that is the ultimate plan, and it has been for decades, if not longer. In fact, even the supposed "crises" and "tensions" between "East" and "West" - largely manufactured for public consumption - are helping to drive that process. Somewhat behind the scenes but hardly in total secrecy, Putin and his supposed nemeses among the global government-promoting Western establishment are in fact working together toward what they call a 'New World Order'."

Alex Newman

"China and Europe cooperate on many levels and support each others oligarchical systems, but on the other hand they are major competitors along with the United States. A lot of the structural changes being implemented by the EU's technocratic elite and political leaders, like austerity measures, are designed to make Europe more competitive, impoverishing their populations, undertaking structural reforms to increase labor flexibility, dismantling labor protections, benefits, regulations, union rights and workers rights, which makes them a poor exploitable cheap labor force more capable of competing with China. China is on the other end of this labor spectrum, where their labor costs have increased due to popular unrest and protests, forcing wages to increase. China wants to develop a consumer economy rather than be an export oriented economy. While China is moving itself up the economic ladder, Europe is pushing itself down, as they try to find some kind of level playing field, in order to compete more as equals."

Andrew Gavin Marshal, 2014

"The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."

Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy and Hope"

"The Neoliberal Project got into high gear in 1995, with the establishment of the World Trade Organization, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The WTO promptly launched a systematic campaign to increase the power of corporations, by means of 'free trade' treaties that are binding on all members of the WTO, including of course the EU. The overall effect of the Neoliberal Project has been to lower living standards, undermine national sovereignty, destabilise national finances, and in general to destroy everything that the Bretton Woods system was designed to protect.
In the so-called 'third world', particularly in sub-Sahara Africa, the ravages of the Neoliberal Project have been extended still further by the actions of the IMF and by other means. Governments are encouraged, or forced, to take on debts that they have no ability to repay. When the governments then turn to the IMF for relief, additional loans are granted, but they are encumbered by draconian conditions. Governments are forced to cut social services, and are required to sell off national assets, such as water rights, at bargain basement prices to corporations. It becomes illegal, to give an example of what draconian means, for people to capture rainwater, as that is deemed to be stealing from the corporations that have bought the nation's water rights. By such means poverty has been systematically created wherever the IMF has managed to dig in its claws."

www.theglobalelite.org, 2013

"There is a plan to homogenize all regions of the earth through massive migrant immigration globally. This systematic leveling of the so called playing field between the developed Western world (North America and Europe) and the developing Third World is simply part of the plan leading to the New World Order. Hence, the globalized aggressive attack and disintegration of the middle class around the world is designed to lower the standard of living in the West, homogenizing a destabilized worldwide lower standard of living that will facilitate maximum control over a desperate, struggling global population."

"The growing tensions between Russia and the West serve a key globalist goal that otherwise would have been far more difficult to sell to the European public, which is increasingly weary and even outraged by never-ending political integration. In Eurasia, EU / U.S. bellicosity in Ukraine helped Putin justify his Eurasian Union machinations, such as justifying the need for integration against hostile super blocs. In Europe, meanwhile, Putin's supposed militarism provided fresh justifications for surrendering even more power and authority to Brussels, giving impetus for building up a full-blown EU military and for Ukraine joining. In Brussels and Washington, the alleged threat posed by Putin has added renewed urgency to the push for transatlantic integration, too."

Alex Newman, 2014

"[Major tax-exempt foundations and key government insiders are working] to so alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."

Ford Foundation President and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member H. Rowan Gaither to congressional investigator Norman Dodd, 1953

"If the New World Order types had some kindness, some humanity, some morality perhaps One World Government is what we need. But mainly these are nasty people with a lust for money and a ruthless disregard for human suffering."

Chris Pratt from his movie "Deception"

"About two hundred years ago, at the beginning of the industrial revolution, there was what was called the "great divergence" as industrialization made some economies rich. Western empires forced many developing countries to deindustrialize, and to remain as colonial export-oriented economies, while the colonial powers industrialized to advance their economies. This created a great divergence between what we call the third world, developing, emerging economies and the developed, advanced economies - Western Europe, United States and Japan.
Now there is a process of convergence, as countries such as China, Russia, Brazil, India, South Africa, and others rise economically. The G20 is trying to advance the process of global convergence by allowing the twenty largest economies in the world to try to manage the global economic system in a process called global governance."

Andrew Gavin Marshall, 2014

"We need governance that is adequate to the global world. We need a culture that will be uniform throughout the world. Unless nations change the rules we will not have global governance."

Mikhail Gorbachev, former President of the USSR, in his keynote speech at the State of the World Forum 2000 in New York

"Globalists have long been advancing what they refer to as "convergence." In essence, for the world to be ruled under a single global regime, East and West, Third World and First World, will all have to "converge". In recent decades, however, it has become clear that the scheme involves making the United States and Europe more like China and Russia, rather than the other way around, playing the public on both sides to accelerate the process."

Alex Newman

"Ever since the days of Henry Ford, the Economic Elite have needed a thriving US middle class to increase growth and profits, but now, in the global economy, they view the US middle class as obsolete. They increasingly look globally for profits and they would rather pay cheap labor in countries like China and India."

David DeGraw

"I believe that the Council on Foreign Relations and its ancillary elitist groups are indifferent to communism. They have no ideological anchors. In their pursuit of a new world order, they are prepared to deal without prejudice with a communist state, a socialist state, a democratic state, a monarchy, an oligarchy - its all the same to them."

Senator Barry M. Goldwater in his book "With No Apologies"

"As of 2010, the top 1% of households owned 35.4% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% had 53.5%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 89%, leaving only 11% of the wealth for the bottom 80%."

G. William Domhoff

"Virtually the entire communist project in world domination and terror - from the original Bolshevik revolution and the building up of Stalin, to Chairman Mao's murderous takeover of China and Fidel Castro's bloody rise to power in Cuba - has been facilitated every step of the way by Western globalists."

Alex Newman

WHY IS THE UNITED STATES PROVOKING WAR WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA?
THE U.S. IS DETERMINED TO BE THE ONLY GLOBAL SUPERPOWER, MAINTAIN FULL-SPECTRUM MILITARY DOMINANCE, CONTROL THE WORLD'S ENERGY RESOURCES, DOMINATE EURASIA, AND PRESERVE THE RESERVE-CURRENCY STATUS OF THE DOLLAR - AT ANY COST

"Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival... This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power... First the US must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests."

neocon Paul Wolfowitz in the "Defense Planning Guidance"

"The scene for a great war involving the great powers of the time ­ US, Russia and China ­ is now set, by design of the elite. It is just a matter of time."

Mujahid Kamran

"War with Russia will be nuclear. Washington has prepared for it. Washington has abandoned the ABM treaty, created what it thinks is an ABM shield, and changed its war doctrine to permit US nuclear first strike. All of this is obviously directed at Russia, and the Russian government knows it."

Paul Craig Roberts, 2014

"The U.S. is frantically surrounding China with military weapons, advanced aircraft, naval fleets and a multitude of military bases from Japan, South Korea and the Philippines through several nearby smaller Pacific islands to its new and enlarged base in Australia The U.S. naval fleet, aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines patrol China's nearby waters. Warplanes, surveillance planes, drones and spying satellites cover the skies, creating a symbolic darkness at noon."

Jack A. Smith, CounterPunch

"The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination. It calls for the United States to maintain its overwhelming superiority and prevent new rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike. It says not that the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but that it must be absolutely powerful."

Vice-President Dick Cheney - lecture at West Point, June 2002

"Once an enemy is demonized the media display a form of hysteria that helps mobilize the public in support of whatever forms of violence the government wishes to carry out. They become a virtual propaganda arm of the government, joining with it in the common fight against "another Hitler." Under these conditions remarkable structures of disinformation can be built, institutionalized, and remain parts of historic memory even in the face of ex post confutations, which are kept out of sight."

Edward s Herman, 2001


"We need a common enemy to unite us."

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, March 2000

"Were the Soviet Union to sink tomorrow under the waters of the ocean, the American military-industrial establishment would have to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could be invented. Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the American economy."

George Kennan, U.S. State Department Cold War strategist during Truman Administration, 1940s


"Russia and China, recently have been driven into one another's arms by the endless crusades of the West to undermine them. Together they constitute a great power center outside the control of the U.S. Empire. Bent on global domination, the U.S. cannot tolerate such a defiant and alternative center of power. The reason is that such a center provides an alternative for others who would gain their independence from the West."

John V. Walsh, 2014

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."

General Douglas MacArthur, 1957 - as quoted in American Caesar, by William Manchester, 1978

"The Pentagon's penchant for military toys makes an ambitious, aggressive foreign policy essential. Without enemies and conflicts, real or potential, there is no reason to spend money. "

Gabriel Kolko, 2007

"I don't believe anyone will consciously launch World War III. The situation now is more like the eve of World War I, when great powers were armed and ready to go when an incident set things off. Ever since Gorbachev naively ended the Cold War, the hugely over-armed United States has been actively surrounding Russia with weapons systems, aggressive military exercises, NATO expansion. At the same time, in recent years the demonization of Vladimir Putin has reached war propaganda levels. Russians have every reason to believe that the United States is preparing for war against them, and are certain to take defensive measures. This mixture of excessive military preparations and propaganda against an "evil enemy" make it very easy for some trivial incident to blow it all up. "

Diana Johnstone, author of "Queen of Chaos"

"Nothing is more dangerous than the aggressive U.S./NATO troop movements right on the borders of Russia.
Sending U.S. destroyers into the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea; scheduling threatening U.S./NATO war games and troop movements in East Europe; and imposing sanctions on the Russian Federation, is a threat to peace on a world scale."

former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark

"Turkey has served as a proxy and facilitator in the CIA's project to undermine China by supporting its Uighur separatist movement.
... One of the main tools Washington is using in order to get Turkey involved in Xinjiang, China, is some Turkish Americans, primarily the Fetullah Gulen network, prosecuted in absentia in Turkey for trying to found a theocratic State order in that country, running his activities from the United States. Another Turk used in this affair is Enver Yusuf Turani, who is the self styled Foreign and Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government in exile. He has been an American citizen since 1998. Enver Yusuf is in close cooperation with Fetullah Gulen. Their activities for the government in exile are based on a report entitled "the Xinjiang Project" drafted by Graham Fuller in 1998 for the Rand Corporation and revised in 2003 under the title "the Xinjiang Problem." It emphasizes the importance of the Xinjiang Autonomous region in encircling China and provides a strategy for it."

"The war against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it."

George Orwell

"The neoconservative ideology came to full power with the collapse of the Soviet Union. And this ideology says that history has chosen the US to prevail all over the world, that there is no alternative to the American political and economic system, and that this choice by history gives the US the responsibility to exercise hegemony over the entire world."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together."

"Nobody should have any illusion about the possibility of gaining military superiority over Russia. We will never allow this to happen."

Russian President Vladimir Putin

"The US has announced a pivot to Asia, reallocating 60% of the American navy to the South China Sea to control the flow of resources on which China depends. The US is contracting to build a series of new air and naval bases running from the Philippines to Vietnam in order to block China."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Russian President Vladimir Putin is Public Enemy Number 1 because he's blocking the US pivot to Asia, strengthening anti-Washington coalitions, sabotaging US foreign policy objectives in the Middle East, creating institutions that rival the IMF and World Bank, transacting massive energy deals with critical US allies, increasing membership in an integrated, single-market Eurasian Economic Union, and attacking the structural foundation upon which the entire US empire rests, the dollar."

Mike Whitney

"I do not rule out local and regional armed conflicts developing into a large-scale war, including using nuclear weapons."

Russian General Nikolai Makarov

"The war against China is in preparation. The US takes the side of every country that gets into a dispute with China, even over small things that have nothing whatsoever to do with the US."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Declining imperial nations find the process of orderly retreat inordinately difficult. They are so desirous of holding on to past privileges and capabilities, there are so many vested interests committed to preserving the status quo, the idea of greatness is so addictive and beguiling, that the retreat from an imperial role and its associated commitments is almost always hugely reluctant and extremely painful."

Martin Jacques in his book"When China Rules the World"

"Some Western politicians are already threatening us with not just sanctions, but also the prospect of increasingly serious problems on the domestic front. I would like to know what it is they have in mind exactly - are they hoping to put us in a worsening social and economic situation so as to provoke public discontent? We consider such statements irresponsible and clearly aggressive in tone, and we will respond to them accordingly."

Russian President Vladimir Putin

"The Neocons definitely want war with Russia. They've wanted it ever since Reagan was President. "

Paul Craig Roberts

"The dollar (the petrodollar) is surely being weakened... The idea is to take the dollar down while gradually substituting other currencies preparatory to creating perhaps a single basket of currencies that will function as a worldwide money."

"The United States may have to determine how to cope with regional coalitions that seek to push America out of Eurasia, thereby threatening America's status as a global power."

Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book " The Grand Chessboard"

"They are constantly trying to drive us into a corner because we have an independent position, because we maintain it and because we tell it like it is and don't engage in hypocrisy. But there is a limit to everything. And with Ukraine, our Western partners have crossed the line, acting irresponsibly and unprofessionally."

Russian President Vladimir Putin

"So long as the US dollar remains the reserve currency of trade and in central bank reserves worldwide, then the United States essentially can export its inflation to the rest of the world. In effect, the dollar surplus countries have no choice with their surplus dollars, but to buy U.S. Treasury debt ­ to finance America's wars around the world."

F. William EngdahL

"The financial crisis [2008] raised the curtain on a new and protracted period of painfully low growth and greatly reduced expectations in the West, with the American economy - like its European counterparts - facing the prospect of years of austerity... In contrast, the Chinese, buoyed by huge foreign exchange reserves, large trade surpluses and a high level of savings, can look forward to many more years of fast economic growth. All this adds up to an extraordinary and irreversible shift in power from the West in general, and the United States in particular, to China."

Martin Jacques in his book"When China Rules the World"

"Losing the world currency role would be devastating for the United States, because that's the main basis for Washington's power. That's why Washington has financial hegemony, that's why iWashington can impose sanctions on sovereign countries. So, if Washington loses this role, if the dollar ceases to be the world reserve currency, we'll see a dramatic reduction in Washington's power."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Russian President Vladimir Putin is doing whatever he can to circumvent dollar-denominated business and financial transactions. The move away from the dollar is a direct attack on the US's greatest source of power, the ability to control the de facto international currency and to require that other nation's stockpile dollars for their energy purchases which are then recycled into US financial assets, stocks bonds and US Treasuries. This petrodollar-recycling scam allows the US to run gigantic current account deficits without raising interest rates or reducing government spending. Putin's anti-dollar policies could diminish the greenback's role as reserve currency and put an end to a system that institutionalizes looting."

Mike Whitney

"How America 'manages' Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania (Australia) geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources."

Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book " The Grand Chessboard"

"Washington sent a very senior Treasury official to Riyadh[Saudi Arabia], and essentially told Riyadh that OPEC was not to sell a single barrel of oil unless it is priced in dollars... The oil price jumping by 400 per cent in 1973/74 saved the dollar. The dollar had floated up on a sea of oil... What saved the dollar, what saved Wall Street and the power of the dollar ... was the 400 per cent OPEC price shock. That halted growth in Europe, it smashed the developing countries, which were enjoying a rapid growth dynamic by the early 1970 s, and it tilted the power balance back into the direction of Wall Street and the dollar system."

F. William Engdahl

"We've seen the US change its war doctrine, nuclear weapons are no longer to be used only in retaliation to an attack. They are now a preemptive first-strike force. This is clearly directed at Russia. The Ukraine is directed at Russia. So, the war has already started, it is underway. That's what Ukraine is about. It is the war against Russia."

Paul Craig Roberts

"NATO is expanding to Russian and Chinese borders. Encroaching US bases surround them. Moscow and Beijing are mindful. They're allied defensively. They're preparing for scenarios they hope to avoid. They're readying for possible global war."

Stephen Lendman

"Washington broke all the agreements that Reagan and Gorbachev had about not taking NATO into eastern Europe. NATO is now in the Baltics. It is all across eastern Europe. The former members of the Warsaw pact are now members of NATO."

Paul Craig Roberts

"Today, it is imperative to end this hysteria, to refute the rhetoric of the Cold War and to accept the obvious fact: Russia is an independent, active participant in international affairs. Like other countries, it has its own national interests that need to be taken into account and respected."

Russian President Vladimir Putin

"The Neocons have been very clear about their ideology of American hegemony over the world. It's like Adolf Hitler all over again. Neoconservatives don't use the Nazi language. Instead, we're said to be the 'exceptional' people, the 'indispensable country.' They use these adjectives to elevate the United States above law, its own law and international law. So, it's alright if we commit war crimes with naked aggression. It's alright if we torture. It's alright if we kidnap people in foreign countries and take them to other foreign countries. This is all just part of America achieving hegemony. Notice the way we achieve it is not by argument or reason or persuasion or anything like that. It's by force."

Paul Craig Roberts

"The 2008 Western financial crisis marked a precipitous and irreversible decline in Europe's position. Its place in the world will never be the same again... The EU - and its member countries - will experience a diminished role in the world: other countries are already less keen on becoming trading partners, with alternative and more attractive suitors on offer; European influence and representation in international bodies is steadily declining, as the recent reforms in the IMF illustrate; and their aid and assistance will be less sought after by developing countries as wealthier and more generous donors, notably China, take their place."

Martin Jacques in his book"When China Rules the World"

"I'm not sure that we can rely on Washington to have the judgment not to push Washington's takeover of Ukraine into a hot war. It seems preposterous to think that Washington would be in a hot war with China and Russia. These are two large powerful countries. They have nuclear weapons."

Paul Craig Roberts

"China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a Third World War."

Chinese Rear Admiral Zhang Zhaozhong

"The West is habituated to the idea that the world is its world; that the international community is its community; that international institutions are its institutions; that the world currency - namely the dollar - is its currency; that universal values are its values; that world history is its history; and that the world's language - namely English - is its language."

Martin Jacques in his book"When China Rules the World"

"Washington is recreating the Cold War that it had with the Soviet Union. This is a very profitable way to supply the US military-security complex with the taxpayers' money. And in some ways it is safer than a war, because the war in Afghanistan didn't go well, the war in Iraq didn't go well. But if you can have a Cold War and you don't actually fight, you can keep it going for years, just like the Cold War with the Soviet Union. And the Cold War built the military-security complex in the US."

Paul Craig Roberts

NOT ALL CONSPIRACIES ARE THEORIES
"CONSPIRACY THEORY" IS A LABEL OFTEN USED TO KEEP US FROM LEARNING THE TRUTH

"We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence - on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

John Kennedy to journalists, 1961

"We have been conditioned to laugh at conspiracy theories, and few people will risk public ridicule by advocating them... Almost all of history is an unbroken trail of one conspiracy after another. Conspiracies are the norm, not the exception."

G. Edward Griffin in his book "The Creature from Jekyll Island"

"We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy."

Chris Hedges

"'Conspiracy theory' is a term that at once strikes fear and anxiety in the hearts of most every public figure, particularly journalists and academics. Since the 1960s the label has become a disciplinary device that has been overwhelmingly effective in defining certain events off limits to inquiry or debate. Especially in the United States raising legitimate questions about dubious official narratives destined to inform public opinion (and thereby public policy) is a major thought crime that must be cauterized from the public psyche at all costs."

James F. Tracy

"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.
... Woe betide any book or author that falls outside the official guidelines. Foundation support is not there. Publishers get cold feet. Distribution is hit and miss, or non-existent."

Antony Sutton in his book "America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull and Bones"

"World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse string."

Denis Healey, former British Secretary of Defense

"Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game."

Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone

"A small group of dominant men have been able to secure control of local, national, continental, and even global policy. Though the power of this network is not complete, they are moving inexorably in that direction. Without increased awareness (and resistance), their unelected and unaccountable global state will become a reality. And though the illusion of national sovereignty might be maintained, the freedom of the world's citizens will be controlled within very narrow alternatives."

Joseph Plummer

"The depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank."

Curtis Dall, FDR's son-in-law as quoted in his book, My Exploited Father-in-Law

"What we've got here for the first time on a global scale is a conspiracy of the governing class, worldwide, against the governed. What we are now facing is the nightmare that every lover of freedom has dreaded that the worldwide governing class would find an excuse to gang up together against the people's interest, against liberty, against democracy, against prosperity, against capitalism, against every form of the freedoms which we have for too long and too dangerously taken for granted."

Lord Christopher Monckton, British Consultant, Policy Adviser

"The question was how should we maneuver them [Japan] into firing the first shot... it was desirable to make sure the Japanese be the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt as to who were the aggressors."

Henry Stimson, US Secretary of War prior to WWII, Nov. 25, 1941

"Presidents come and go every four or eight years. But operatives such as George Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Schultz, James Baker etc. linger around in "public service" for decades.
Standing above those big names, certain financial and media dynasties have influenced American politics for a whole century, or more! The House of Rockefeller, which donated the land upon which the United Nations was built, has been promoting Globalism since about the turn of the 19 th century; same goes for the House of Sulzberger-Ochs (New York Times owners since 1896) , the House of Meyer-Graham (Washington Post owners since 1933) , and the arch-Billionaire Globalists of them all, the anti-Russian House of Rothschild, which bankrolled Britain's war against Napoleon 200 years ago, as well as the movement which eventually brought about the establishment of "the State of Israel". Add to the "club" newer activist billionaires such as George Soros, Mike Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Pierre Omidyar, Sheldon Adelson and some counterparts in Europe and you have the makings of a vast international network of immensely powerful Global manipulators."

from "Report from Iron Mountain"

"Once the Cold War ended, the ruling class sought enemies to keep their military industrial complex and Wall Street financiers enriched and happy. 9/11 was used to further that agenda as war on a tactic (terror) will never end. Perpetual conflict is a chief goal of the establishment. Orwell would be impressed with how our keepers have perfected the "We've always been at war with Eastasia" propaganda tool to perpetuate their goals. Both parties continue to promote war and increase the profits of the military industrial complex."

They work diligently behind the scenes to cause conditions whereby they might regain their crowns."

"I spent thirty-three years in the Marines, most of my time being a hlgh class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1910-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City [Bank] boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the rape of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street.
In China in 1927 l helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
I had a swell racket. l was rewarded with honors, medals, promotions. l might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate a racket in three city districts. The Marines operated on three continents."

"Fifteen-year-old "Nayirah" testified before the United States Congress in October 1990 that she was a refugee volunteering in the maternity ward of Al Adan hospital in Kuwait City, and that during the occupation by Iraq she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers dumping Kuwaiti infants out of their incubators onto the cold floor to die... It was not revealed until later that the girl was actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Two maternity nurses in that ward, later said that they had never seen Nayirah there and that the baby-dumping had never happened."

"The Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for ... launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba.
Code named Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman [General Lyman Lemnitzer] and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war."
[Operation Northwoods was rejected by President Kennedy.]

James Bamford in his book "Body of Secrets"

"CIA Chief of CounterIntelligence James Jesus Angleton, assuming this post in 1954 under the guidance of Allen Dulles and Richard Helms, managed a 'second CIA' within the CIA.".. Angleton formed an extremely close relationship with the Mossad and David Ben-Gurion, and was fully aware of the Israeli Prime Minister's hatred for JFK. Angleton became so intimate with the Israelis that he even helped them develop their secret nuclear program, while the CIA and Mossad became as one in the Middle East - a virtually indistinguishable entity working in unison to carry out their mutual goals."

Michael Collins Piper

"There is a huge tacit conspiracy between the U.S. government, its agencies and its multinational corporations, on the one hand, and local business and military cliques in the Third World, on the other, to assume complete control of these countries and "develop" them on a joint venture basis. The military leaders of the Third World were carefully nurtured by the U.S. security establishment to serve as the "enforcers" of this joint venture partnership, and they have been duly supplied with machine guns and the latest data on methods of interrogation of subversives."

Edward S. Herman

"The permanent possibility of war is the foundation for stable government; it supplies the basis for general acceptance of political authority. It has enabled societies to maintain necessary class distinctions, and it has ensured the subordination of the citizen to the state, by virtue of the residual war powers inherent in the concept of nationhood. No modern political ruling group has successfully controlled its constituency after failing to sustain the continuing credibility of an external threat of war."

from "Report from Iron Mountain"

"The owner of all three [World Trade Center] buildings was Larry Silverstein, who had recently doubled the insurance value of the Twin Towers. He stated in a PBS interview that he and the New York Fire Department agreed to a controlled demolition of WTC 7. Since skyscrapers are not [normally] wired for demolition -- unless someone intends to demolish them -- Silverstein's statement is an admission that 9/11 was an inside job."

Captain Eric H. May, former Army military intelligence and public affairs officer, 2008

""Conspiracy theorist" as an all-purpose term of 'ad hominem' argument to dismiss arguments which cannot be refuted, goes back to the years after the Kennedy assassination, when the public was expected to accept that it was US government policy that this great crime, along with the further assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy in 1968, would remain permanently unsolved, and that those who objected would be vilified."

Webster Griffin Tarpley in his book "9/11 Synthetic Terror - made in the USA"

"Real power is unelected. Politicians change, but the power structure does not. The Network (a global Anglophile financial elite power structure) operates behind the scenes, for its own benefit, without ever consulting those who are affected by its decisions.
The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. They are "satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power." This approach of secretly exercising power is common throughout history because it protects the conspirators from the consequences of their actions.
A primary tactic for directing public opinion and "government" policy is to place willing servants in leadership positions of trusted institutions (media, universities, government, foundations, etc.). If there is ever a major backlash against a given policy, the servant can be replaced. This leaves both the institution and the individuals who actually direct its power unharmed.
Historically, those who establish sophisticated systems of domination are not only highly intelligent; they are supremely deceptive and ruthless. They completely ignore the ethical barriers that govern a normal human being's behavior. They do not believe that the moral and legislative laws, which others are expected to abide by, apply to them. This gives them an enormous advantage over the masses that cannot easily imagine their mind-set. Advances in technology have enabled modern rulers to dominate larger and larger areas of the globe.
As a result, the substance of national sovereignty has already been destroyed, and whatever remains of its shell is being dismantled as quickly as possible. The new system they're building (which they themselves refer to as a New World Order), will trade the existing illusion of democratically directed government for their long-sought, "expert-directed," authoritarian technocracy."

Joseph Plummer, 2014

"The corporate-owned press and numerous political leaders have suppressed or attacked the many revelations about the murder [of President John Kennedy in November 1963] unearthed by independent investigators.
... Their efforts reveal a conspiracy to assassinate the president and an even more extensive conspiracy to hide the crime."

Michael Parenti in his book "Dirty Truths"

"For many Americans, the idea that we are living in a country whose own leaders planned and carried out the attacks of 9/11 is simply too horrible to entertain. Unfortunately, however, there is strong evidence in support of this view."

9/11 and American Empire : Intellectuals Speak Out
edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott

"The high officials, media executives and military officers who are bound by law and ethics to serve the American people have become a textbook example of a grand conspiracy. To look at it from their point of view, they are historic actors who are beyond good and evil, who must stimulate the American people to a necessary geostrategic adventure by any means necessary. To them, the official account of the 9/11 "terror" attacks is what Plato once described as the "noble lie," a necessary falsehood told to a childlike public in order to direct it maturely. The simple fact is that 9/11 has justified an attempt to seize and control the ultimate geostrategic resource: oil."

Captain Eric H. May, a former Army military intelligence and public affairs officer, 2008

"Am I a conspiracy theorist if I suggest that since the network's nightly news broadcasts are sponsored almost entirely by prescription drug ads, that you might have to hold your breath a long time before you hear the alternative point of view to using pharmaceuticals to cure all our ailments?
... Do pharmaceutical companies want to cure diabetes or do they want to sell diabetes drugs and equipment? Well, they sure do sell a lot these days, and the food companies are what make that possible. Read David Kessler's book about the deliberate way food companies use salt, fat and sugar as foodcrack to get people literally addicted to eating bad food and too much of it. Is that a conspiracy? Only if you define corporations putting profit ahead of human health as conspiracy. The fact that Americans will do anything to each other for money is not a conspiracy, it's a scandal."

Bill Maher, 2009

"In 1932, the Public Health Service collaborated with the Tuskegee Institute to record the history of syphilis in the black male community. Called the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, the study initially included 600 black men - 399 with the disease and 201 without. While the men were told they would receive treatment, however, the researchers never provided adequate treatment for the disease. Even when penicillin became the preferred and available treatment for syphilis, researchers kept their subjects in the dark... Although originally planned to last only six months, the experiment continued for 40 years."

Christina Sterbenz, www.businessinsider.com

"The easiest way to carry out a false flag attack is by setting up a military exercise that simulates the very attack you want to carry out. This is exactly how government perpetrators in the US and UK handled the 9/11 and 7/7 'terror' attacks, which were in reality government attacks blamed on 'terrorists'. The 'next 9/11', constantly promised by officials and the media, is likely to be carried out under the guise of future military exercises."

Captain Eric H. May, former Army military intelligence officer, 2008

"What a strange coincidence that the authorities were running terror drills at the same time, simulating the same scenarios, in the same area. If this happened one time, it could be written off as a coincidence.
However, when you learn that drills were being run the same time as the 9/11 attacks, the 7/7 London bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Madrid bombing, the Norway Oslo attacks, the Sandy Hook shooting, the Aurora movie theater shooting, and the Boston bombing, you must understand that this is not a coincidence. This is a pattern."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

IS ZIONISM A THREAT TO THE WORLD?

"A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but impossible.
... Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot - or else I am through with playing at colonizing."

"New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison had decided-based on the entirety of everything that he had learned from a wide variety of sources-that the most likely masterminds of the JFK assassination were operatives of Israel's intelligence service, the Mossad."

Michael Collins Piper

"In 1810, the Rothschilds began to push for a country for the Jews, so they created a new brand of Judaism called Reform Judaism which would establish a new Jewish country, which is now Israel. Only the Rothschilds could do that because to create a worldwide movement costs a lot of money."

"Israel controls the U.S. Senate. The Senate is subservient, much too much; we should be more concerned about U.S. interests rather than doing the bidding of Israel. The great majority of the Senate of the U.S. - somewhere around 80% - is completely in support of Israel; anything Israel wants; Israel gets. This has been demonstrated time and again, and this has made foreign policy difficult for our government."

Senator J. William Fulbright told CBS Face the Nation on April 15, 1973

"Israel's goal in the Middle East has been to gin up as much conflict and chaos as possible, keeping its Islamic enemies divided, making it impossible for any credible challenge to arise among its Arab neighbors, and aiming the main blow at Tehran, while paying lip service to the awfulness of ISIS and al-Qaeda. Their quarrel isn't really with the Arabs, anyway, it's with the Persians, whom they fear and loathe, and whose destruction has been their number one objective since the days of Ariel Sharon."

WILL FASCISM (TOTALITARIANISM) TRIUMPH IN AMERICA?

"To oppose the policies of a government does not mean you are against the country or the people that the government supposedly represents. Such opposition should be called what it really is: democracy, or democratic dissent, or having a critical perspective about what your leaders are doing. Either we have the right to democratic dissent and criticism of these policies or we all lie down and let the leader, the Fuhrer, do what is best, while we follow uncritically, and obey whatever he commands. That's just what the Germans did with Hitler, and look where it got them."

Michael Parenti

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."

Benito Mussolini - dictator of Italy

"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

Sinclair Lewis, 1835

"Don't even whisper that the USA is a fascist empire, even though it's obvious to anyone who's even half awake that corporations own the government on every level, and that fascism by Mussolini's own definition is the merger of state and corporate power."

John R. Hall

"I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either"

columnist Edward Zehr

"Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem: people are obedient, all these herdlike people."

Howard Zinn

"Bankers represent corporatist fascism and monopoly. Through their great wealth they control most governments and their court systems. That is why your elected representatives do not listen to you. They have already been purchased by Wall Street and banking. These are the same people who have financed most wars on both sides for centuries. Through their banks, and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), they control money laundering and the worldwide drug trade, which is the most lucrative of all enterprises."

Bob Chapman

"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt

"We're not moving toward Hitler-type fascism, but we're moving toward a softer fascism: Loss of civil liberties, corporations running the show, big government in bed with big business."

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), 2007

"The really dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.
They claim to be superpatriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjugation."

US Vice President Henry Wallace to the New York Times, April 9, 1944

"The central bank of a nation finances monopoly industry and imperial states, both of which are created out of debt bondage to the central bank. Both the commercial/industrial elites and political elites merge their interests - the state will pursue imperial policies that have the effect of benefiting industry, while industry will support the building of a strong, powerful state (and provide a cozy job for the political elite upon leaving the public sector). This makes up the ruling class of a nation, the capitalists, or owners of the means of production, merging with the political rulers of the nation [a definition of fascism]."

Andrew Gavin Marshall

"The dictionary definition of fascism is government control over the means of production with ownership held in private hands... The twentieth century fascism of Germany was private monopoly control over the government which then did control industry, but in such a way as to favor the monopolists and to prevent competition."

G. Edward Griffin

"Fascism emerges in the midst of a capitalist crisis when the ruling elements mobilize chauvinism and racism to divert the attention of the working people from mobilizing against the capitalist class. This was the concrete experience of fascism during the last major capitalist depression."

Horace G. Campbell

"The Nazi state is a dictatorship of monopoly capitalism. Its 'fascism' is that of business enterprise organized on a monopoly basis, and in full command of all the military, police, legal and propaganda power of the state."

economist Robert Brady

"There will be no swastikas in an American fascism, but Stars and Stripes and Christian crosses. No fascist salute, but mass recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance. These symbols contain no whiff of fascism in themselves, of course, but an American fascism would transform them into obligatory litmus tests for detecting the internal enemy."

historian Robert O. Paxton

"The CFR is a supragovermnental organization that overshadows congress. It is financed by the Tax-exempt Foundations, and portrays itself as a humanitarian group. But its objectives are to erode national sovereignty and merge America into a worldwide government under the control of its members, which include people of tremendous wealth. Basically, their goal is global fascism. The CFR is responsible for setting major policy, which is activated without public knowledge or consent. It is beyond congressional investigation."

Mark M. Rich, "The Hidden Evil"

"Dominionists wait only for a fiscal, social or political crisis, a moment of upheaval in the form of an economic meltdown or another terrorist strike on American soil, to move to reconfigure the political system. Such a crisis could unleash a public clamor, for drastic new national security measures and draconian reforms to safeguard the nation. Widespread discontent and fear, stoked and manipulated by dominionists and their sympathizers could be used by these radicals to sweep aside the objections of beleaguered moderates in Congress and the courts, those clinging to a bankrupt and discredited liberalism, to establish an American theocracy, a Christian fascism."

Chris Hedges

"Every day that the conservatives in Congress, the right-wing talking heads, and their noisy minions are allowed to hold up our ability to govern the country is another day we're slowly creeping across the final line - toward fascism - beyond which, history tells us, no country has ever been able to return."

Sara Robinson

"Hitler has a deep respect for the Catholic church and the Jesuit order; not because of their Christian doctrine, but because of the 'machinery' they have elaborated and controlled, their hierarchical system, their extremely clever tactics, their knowledge of human nature and their wise use of human weaknesses in ruling over believers."

Hermann Rauschning, 1939

"The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen. Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says 'I have got an answer, we have an enemy'? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany."

Noam Chomsky

"I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security."

Jim Garrison, New Orleans District Attorney, prosecutor in the JFK assassination conspiracy trial

"It may well be that the real agenda of the George W Bush administration is to create a kind of soft fascism, a presidential dictatorship or one-party system that presides over a de facto Christian plutocracy, and that has managed to squelch all opposing voices."

Morris Berman

"Franklin Delano Roosevelt warned Congress in 1938 that when government is controlled by private economic power, he called that fascism. And he would consider today's control by private economic power -- namely, giant corporations astride the world -- as an even more advanced form of what he called fascism: control of government by corporate interests... the clinical definition of "fascism" is when private concentrated economic power takes government away from the people, turns government into a guarantor, a subsidizer, a covering of corporate power. And corporations now have their executives in high government positions. They have 35,000 full-time lobbies here... And they have 10,000 political action committees."

Ralph Nader, 2007

"US policymakers use fascism to protect capitalism, while claiming they are saving democracy from Communism."

Michael Parenti

"Fascism is the imposed dictatorship of the ruling class utilizing armed force to preserve the social-economic system wherever it is collapsing. The destruction of democracy-"that bourgeois illusion"-the suppression of all civil liberties, the destruction of the trade unions and the intellectuals, the glorification of the State-these are the natural results of the coming into power of a regime whose one purpose is the salvation of the profit system and whose hired leaders are superpatriots, demagogues, militarists, political racketeers, and fanatics."

George Seldes

"I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America."

Senator Frank Church, 1975

"When and if fascism finally takes hold in America, the basic forms of government will remain... Fascism will appear to be friendly. The legislators will be in session. There will be elections, and the news media will continue to cover the entertainment and political trivia. Consent of the governed, however, will no longer apply. Actual control will have finally passed to the oligarchic elite controlling the government behind the scenes."

John W. Whitehead, 2015

"Left unchecked, the hatred for radical Islam will transform itself into a hatred for Muslims. The hatred for undocumented workers will become a hatred for Mexicans and Central Americans. The hatred for those not defined by this largely white movement as American patriots will become a hatred for African-Americans. The hatred for liberals will morph into a hatred for all democratic institutions, from universities to government agencies to the press. Our continued impotence and cowardice, our refusal to articulate this anger and stand up in open defiance to the Democrats and the Republicans, will see us swept aside for an age of terror and blood."

Chris Hedges

"People have reached a point where anything which will save them from Communism is a godsend; and if Fascism or Nazism promises more security than our own democracy we may even turn to them."

Eleanor Roosevelt

"Democracy is dead in the United States and the forces of tyranny and authoritarianism offer no apologies for their hatred of democracy and the culture of poverty, immiseration, and cruelty that they want to impose on the American people, if not the rest of the world.
... The protean forces for creating an authoritarian state are in full play in the United States and extend far beyond the shadow of a debased and corrupt politics. A set of complex forces working in tandem is slowly, insidiously eroding the very foundations of a civic and democratic culture. Some of the most glaring issues are massive unemployment; a rotting infrastructure; the defunding of vital public services; the dismantling of the social safety net; expanding levels of poverty, especially for children; and an imprisonment binge largely targeting poor minorities of color."

Henry Giroux

"It would be easy for us, if we do not learn to understand the world and appreciate the rights, privileges and duties of all other countries and peoples, to represent in our power the same danger to the world that Fascism did."

Ernest Hemingway

"We are being ruled by an oligarchy disguised as a democracy, and arguably on our way towards fascism - a form of government where private corporate interests rule, money calls the shots, and the people are seen as mere subjects to be controlled.
...We are now ruled by an oligarchic elite of governmental and corporate interests. We have moved into "corporatism" which is a halfway point on the road to full-blown fascism."

John W. Whitehead, 2015

"Fascism: a system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."

American Heritage Dictionary, 1983

"A principle of Italian corporatism, and economic fascism in general, is that private property and business ownership are permitted, but are in reality controlled by government through a business-government 'partnership'."

Andrew Gavin Marshall

"The Rockefeller group within the American power establishment, along with numerous related corporate heads from Henry Ford to the DuPonts, had long been attracted to the European models of Mussolini's corporatist Fascism and even German Nazism."

F. William Engdahl, "The Gods of Money"

"The elements are in place for fascism: a weak legislative body, a legal system that is both compliant and repressive, a party system in which one party, whether in opposition or in the majority, is bent upon reconstituting the existing system so as to permanently favor a ruling class of the wealthy, the well-connected and the corporate.
... That scheme is abetted by a sycophantic and increasingly concentrated media."

Sheldon Wolin, "Inverted Totalitarianism", The Nation, May 19, 2003

"Rather than forcing a populace to adhere to a particular state ideology, the general public in the United States is largely depoliticized through the influence of corporations over schools, higher education, and other cultural apparatuses. The deadening of public values, civic consciousness, and critical citizenship are also the result of the work of anti-public intellectuals representing right-wing ideological and financial interests, a powerful corporate controlled media, and a market-driven public pedagogy that reduces the obligations of citizenship to the endless consumption and discarding of commodities. In addition, a pedagogy of historical, social, and racial amnesia is constructed and ciculated through a highly popular celebrity culture and its counterpart in corporate-driven news, television, radio, and entertainment to produce a culture of stupidity, censorship, and diversionary spectacles."

Henry Giroux

"Fascism is on the march today in America. Millionaires are marching to the tune. It will come in this country unless a strong defense is set up by all liberal and progressive forces... A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government, and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. Aboard ship a prominent executive of one of America's largest financial corporations told me point blank that if the progressive trend of the Roosevelt administration continued, he would be ready to take definite action to bring fascism to America."

William Dodd, former US Ambassador to Germany, 1938, told a reporter aboard a U. S.-bound ship

"I think we already have a fascist executive branch, but that does not translate into systemic fascism yet. Fascism is a middle class phenomenon, which means it is something that happens in countries that have achieved a level of development. Right now we are seeing a preparatory phase by the fascist executive branch, putting in place the legal infrastructure to impose a distinctly American fascism if the opportunity arrives. Guantanamo, PATRIOT Act, the FTAA demonstrations, all of it."

Stan Goff, a retired military. officer' who has spoken out eloquently against the invasion of Iraq

"Fascism is a method of preparing a nation for imperialistic adventures which have in the past and will in the future include wholesale slaughter as one of its means."

George Seldes

"With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power. American fascism will not be really dangerous until there is a purposeful coalition among the cartelists, the deliberate poisoners of public information. They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution."

US Vice President Henry Wallace, 1944

"The United States is now a hair's breath from becoming a turnkey totalitarian state."

William Binney, former NSA officer

"The Weimar Republic [Germany] was the peak of Western civilization and was regarded as a model of democracy... In 1928 the Nazis had less than 2 percent of the vote. Two years later, millions supported them. The public got tired of the incessant wrangling, and the service to the powerful, and the failure of those in power to deal with their grievances."

Noam Chomsky

"Authoritarianism in the American collective psyche and in what might be called traditional narratives of historical memory is always viewed as existing elsewhere. Viewed as an alien and demagogic political system, it is primarily understood as a mode of governance associated with the dictatorships in Latin America in the 1970s and, of course, in its most vile extremes, with Hitler's poisonous Nazi rule and Mussolini's fascist state in the 1930s and 1940s. These were and are societies that idealized war, soldiers, nationalism, militarism, political certainty, fallen warriors, racial cleansing, and a dogmatic allegiance to the homeland. Education and the media were the propaganda tools of authoritarianism, merging fascist and religious symbols with the language of God, family, and country, and were integral to promoting servility and conformity among the populace."

Henry Giroux

WHY DON'T "HUMAN RIGHTS" INCLUDE BASIC HUMAN NEEDS LIKE
FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, CLOTHING, SANITATION, HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION?

"There is a current of human rights that judges a society by how well it treats the poor and the weak. It challenges power by asking why, in large areas of the world where civil liberties and the rule of law do hold sway, so little is done to meet the most basic economic, medical, and educational needs of the population.

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"The American Constitution itself does not include economic, social, and cultural rights. It includes no mandate to have the basic needs of people satisfied."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"Human rights leaders never found a war against the social development and economic well-being of a nation a violation of human rights."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"Washington set out after the Vietnam War to craft human rights into a new language of power designed to promote American foreign policy... Washington has shaped idealism into a potent ideological weapon for ends having little to do with human rights - and everything to do with extending America's global reach."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"The human rights movement's deep uneasiness with all forms of radical and revolutionary social change was already evident in 1961, when the newly founded Amnesty international pronounced that no prisoners who advocated violence could be considered prisoners of conscience: thus no revolutionaries, not even Nelson Mandela in South Africa."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"We look with perplexity at how slavery could coexist with the belief that all men are created equal, how liberalism could rise hand in hand with colonialism and brutal forms of exploitation, how calls for freedom could ignore women's rights, how the antislavery movement in England could coincide with the Opium Wars against China, and how democracies could fight colonial wars."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"When human rights groups refused on principle to take a stand on American global policies and geopolitical questions, they chose to ignore the history of the national security establishment's standard operating procedures. Some human rights activists and members of Congress were well aware of long-standing U.S. military programs in counterinsurgency and counterterror operations, which brought military and intelligence officers from other countries to the United States for training. But few leaders spoke to this history. Thus all the newly uncovered facts about ongoing atrocities were reported with little background on decades of political warfare strategies. Human rights groups never much addressed Washington's policies, certainly not in a way that effectively discredited the rhetoric of democratization."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"Chinese critics asked how the growing inequalities between rich and poor in the United States could be compatible with a human rights spirit. Why were 36.5 million Americans living in poverty in 2006? Why is the wealth of the richest growing exponentially, widening the already huge earnings gap between the rich and the less well off? Why did payments to corporate CEOs that were some 475 times higher than those to ordinary workers go unchallenged by human rights advocates? Was the control of patents on medicines for AIDS and other diseases that would help enormously in poorer countries an intellectual property right - or a human rights violation?"

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"As far back as the 1850s, Frederick Douglass, looking at the unquestionably vibrant press in the United States, asked how it could coexist with one of the most cruel systems of slavery the world had ever known. Why was a people so moral about some issues able to live face-to-face with such evil? And why did segregation last for another century after slavery? The issue was not the absence of a free press or of the free flow of ideas or of criticism. How and why blatant injustices are accepted and lived with as part of the commonweal is, as the American abolitionist John Brown warned, the key question of human rights."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"Thousands of dossiers have been produced describing in meticulous detail the death squads and torture and extrajudicial executions carried out by brutal regimes and pathological dictators around the world. When people with black or yellow or brown skin, with Islamic or Communist or nationalist credentials murder their prisoners or bomb their villagers, they are condemned - often quite selectively, to be sure - by the "civilized" world. And they should be condemned. But the American leaders who ordered the free fire zones in Vietnam and the Phoenix program, or directed the Contras against the Sandinistas, or were complicit in Saddam Hussein's gas warfare against the Kurds, or set up and operated Guantánamo are not taken to court. They face no trials. On any human rights website you will find a growing number of prominent leaders indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Few are American or Western European or Israeli."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"Behind the veil of legitimacy and humanitarian concerns can be found the same powerful people and organizations such as the Open Society Institute of George Soros, the Ford Foundation, the United States Institute of Peace, the National Endowment for Democracy and many more, financing and using a maze of well known NGO's such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the International Crisis Group, etc., as well as more obscure entities.
With the help of these various groups it is possible not only to shape but to create the news, the agenda and public opinion to further aims which are, in short, the control of the world, its natural resources and the furtherance of the uniform ideal of a perfect world polity made in America."

James Peck in his book "Ideal Illusions"

"In the so-called 'third world', particularly in sub-Sahara Africa, the ravages of the Neoliberal Project have been extended by the actions of the IMF and by other means. Governments are encouraged, or forced, to take on debts that they have no ability to repay. When the governments then turn to the IMF for relief, additional loans are granted, but they are encumbered by draconian conditions. Governments are forced to cut social services, and are required to sell off national assets, such as water rights, at bargain basement prices to corporations. It becomes illegal, to give an example of what draconian means, for people to capture rainwater, as that is deemed to be stealing from the corporations that have bought the nation's water rights. By such means poverty has been systematically created wherever the IMF has managed to dig in its claws."

IS MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE A HOAX?
THE GLOBAL WARMING SCAM

"The claim that man-made CO2 emissions are causing catastrophic changes in the earth's climate is one of the biggest, most criminal frauds ever perpetrated in human history. The assertion itself requires manipulation of scientific data, heavy-handed blackmail and fraud to create the false claim of a scientific 'consensus', and the transfer of trillions of dollars from an already depressed world economy into a known scientific dead-end. However, it is the intended effect of peddling that lie-namely the rapid 'decarbonization' of the world's economy and stifling the economic growth of the third world."

Executive Intelligence Review

"I have documents showing that the CIA invented the whole thing. Global Warming was invented to both scare people, and divert their attention from other human-made dangers like nuclear weapons. The CIA gave millions of dollars to any scientist who would confirm the theory, so many unscrupulous scientists did what they were told in order to get the money. Now, there is so much fake data to confirm that Global Warming "exists", that they actually convinced everyone that it was real."

Edward Snowden, 2016

"The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself . We believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is a real one or one invented for the purpose."

"The Club of Rome - founded in 1968 as an informal association of independent leading personalities from politics, business, and science - started the climate change hysteria.
... There is no global warming. It is a total hoax. A made up theory that worked to scare the hell out of the general public, so long as their scientists could generate fake statistics and studies showing a rise in temperatures. And with that, the concept of "global warming" was born.
... They created the concept of climate change as a way to introduce a carbon tax on the rest of the world under the guise of punishing humans for harming the environment."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"Politicians have come to see global warming as a way to raise revenue by rationing CO2 production with schemes such as the 'cap and trade' legislation now in Congress. The taxes assessed for producing CO2 could be huge. But global warming as proclaimed by Al Gore and Co., is a hoax."

John Takeuchi, meteorologist

"They've been changing the cry from 'global warming' to 'climate change' because there's so little evidence there's actually any warming going on. I believe that as little as a decade from now, global warming will be recognized as one of the greatest swindles in world history. It has so little scientific basis, it can only rationally be considered a political scam."

Doug Casey

"Carbon taxes are meant to shut down all major economies not controlled by the IMF and World Bank. It has two purposes; neither of them has been made public. The first part of the carbon tax scam is that the IMF and the World Bank will collect taxes from companies that create too much carbon waste. They will set an allowable limit and tax everything over the limit amount. Unless you get an exemption like all of the oil companies will have.
... The second part of the scam is that the companies that are not onboard with the IMF and World Bank will be taxed out of existence. After the crippling sanctions demolish the company, it will either be bought for pennies on the dollar by one of its competitors that are aligned with the IMF or World Bank or just put out of business.
... Climate change is purely a wealth confiscation scheme disguised as a mission to save the planet. The United Nations, through their banking entities, the IMF and World Bank, is using the manufactured fear of "climate change" to collect trillions of dollars in future taxes that will be used to lay the foundation for an unelected global government."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group's conclusion is "no." The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about? This group of world leaders forms a secret society to bring about an economic collapse."

Maurice Strong - Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, 1972,
which launched the world environment movement

"Global warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in history. When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists."

Kiminori Itoh, member of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), award-winning environmental physical chemist

"If this were a human caused warming, it should have started about 1940 and trended strongly upward as global industrialization followed World War II. That isn't what happened. The warming started about 1850. We had a surge of warming from about 1850 to 1870. We had another surge from 1916 to 1940 and then, when the greenhouse gasses began to spew from the factories, the temperatures went down for 35 years. 1976 to 1998, we had another surge of warming, but we've had no warming in the last 8 years. So, what we have is an erratic warming that started too soon to be blamed on humans."

Dennis Avery

"For years, the Elites of the West have cranked up the myth of Man Made Global Warming as a means first and foremost to control the lives and behaviors of their populations. Knowing full well that their 'produce in China and sell in the West' model and its consequent spiral downward in wages and thus standards of living, was unsustainable, the elites moved to use this new "science" to guilt trip and scare monger their populations into smaller and more conservative forms of living."

Stanislav Mishin

"The "Report from Iron Mountain" was advertised as the result of a four-year study by a group of 15 American intellectuals, including the future editors of The Nation Victor Navasky and Richard Lingeman, novelist E.L Doctorov, and economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
This 152-page report, reedited in 2002 by DIANE Publishing Company, discussed the long-term perspectives of the end of the epoch of wars, and the need for inttroducing substitutes to counter the risks caused by standing peace.
The Report from Iron Mountain proposed the creation of global police forces, the introduction of a modern form of slavery, eugenics, mass euthanasia, mass welfare, the invention of a new quasi-religious myth on planetary risks, and exaggerated environmental protection, including widespread government spending and controls.
What followed were a string of events that led to an explosion of ecological movements including the current climatic hysteria.
Soon after the report's publication in 1967, the U.S. Congress passed the National Environmental Protection Act (1969), and on Dec. 2, 1970, President Richard Nixon established the giant U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (by 2003 the EPA had 17,648 employees), the first environment ministry in the world."

Zbigniew Jaworowski, 2009

"Billions of dollars of grant money [over $50 billion] are flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story."

James Spann, American Meteorological Society-certified meteorologist

"The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is pre-programmed to produce reports to support the hypotheses of anthropogenic warming and the control of greenhouse gases, as envisioned in the Global Climate Treaty... The 1990 IPCC Summary completely ignored satellite data, since they showed no warming. The 1995 IPCC report was notorious for the significant alterations made to the text after it was approved by the scientists - in order to convey the impression of a human influence. The 2001 IPCC report claimed the twentieth century showed 'unusual warming' based on the now-discredited hockey stick graph. The latest IPCC report, published in 2007, completely devaluates the climate contributions from changes in solar activities, which are likely to dominate any human influence."

Frederick Seitz, Past President, U.S. National Academy of Sciences

"CO2 is not a primary driver of climate change. The climate changes we have seen, and those we will see in the future, are overwhelmingly the product of natural influences, with orbital changes, solar activity."

Executive Intelligence Review, 2013

"The global warming agenda is really about money, trading carbon credits and imposing carbon taxes."

Eric Roston

"All temperature and weather observations indicate that the earth isn't like a greenhouse and that there is in reality no 'natural greenhouse effect' which could warm up the earth by its own emitted energy - a 'global warming effect'. With or without atmosphere every body looses heat, gets inevitably colder... The hypothesis of a natural and a man-made 'greenhouse effect', like eugenics, belongs to the category 'scientific errors."

Wolfgang P. Thuene, former analyst and forecaster for the German Weather Service

"Because CO2 is slightly soluble in water and will come back to the Earth with precipitation, nature corrects for any excess, just as it does with other excess materials from volcanoes and forest fires. Nature recycles all of what it considers excess very efficiently."

Sherwood Thoele, analytical chemist and mathematician

"On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing. But on the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. We need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."

Stephen Schneider, 1989

"CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference [in global temperature] one way or another. Every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so. Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver's seat and developing nations walking barefoot."

Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University, Japan

"The hypothesis that the global warming of the past decades is man-made is based on the results of calculations with climate models in which the main influence on climate is not included. The most important climate driver comes from the interplay of solar activity, interplanetary magnetic field strength, cosmic radiation intensity, and cloud cover of the Earth atmosphere."

Gerhard Lobert, physicist, Recipient of The Needle of Honor of German Aeronautics

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

Jon Hartzler, retired science professor from St. Cloud State University

"From the beginning, what has become the environmentalist movement, has never been about the environment. The modern day green movement is and has always been a cover for population reduction."

Executive Intelligence Review, 2013

"Geologists and paleo-climatologists know that in the past the Earth's temperature has been substantially warmer than it is today, and that this warming has occurred under purely natural circumstances."

Greg Benson, earth scientist, geologic study/geologic modeling

"The press promotes the global warming alarmists and ignores or minimizes those who are skeptical. To many of us, there is no convincing evidence that carbon dioxide produced by humans has any influence on the Earth's climate."

Mark L. Campbell, professor of chemistry at the U.S. Naval Academy

"Scientists and activists alike have jumped on the global warming bandwagon. It's become a fad, a trend, a wave of enthusiasm, and the scientists are going along with the fad to get research grants and the media limelight... The facts, such as we can observe and calculate them, do not support the idea of man-made global warming."

William Hunt, research scientist National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

"Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful... [The Kyoto Treaty on Climate Change] would have very negative effects upon the technology of nations throughout the world, especially those that are currently attempting to lift from poverty and provide opportunities to the over 4 billion people in technologically underdeveloped countries."

Frederick Seitz, Past President, U.S. National Academy of Sciences

IS HEALTHCARE IN THE U.S. CONTROLLED BY A MEDICAL/PHARMA MAFIA?
BIG PROFITS FROM SELLING DRUGS AND PROCEDURES, NOT KEEPING PEOPLE HEALTHY

"Physicians learn to practice a very drug-intensive style of medicine. Even when changes in lifestyle would be more effective, doctors and their patients often believe that for every ailment and discontent there is a drug."

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

"The U.S. currently has the most aggressive vaccination schedule of any country on the planet."

Melissa Melton, 2012

"The only type of research that is funded and recognized is research on drugs. Research on the causes of disease and non-interventions simply doesn't occur in medical education."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"The Center for Disease Control [CDC] has known since 2001 that children exposed to thimerosal in utero were 800 percent more likely to regress into autism.
This data was intentionally excluded from the CDC paper published in the journal Pediatrics in an effort to disprove a thimerosal-autism association.
... The CDC has known for a decade that children receiving the MMR vaccines on schedule were nearly 300 percent more likely to regress into autism compared to children whose parents decided to withhold the vaccine until after the child was older."

Dr. Gary Null and Richard Gale, 2015

"The US childhood immunization schedule requires 26 vaccine doses for infants aged less than 1 year, the most in the world, yet 33 nations have better IMRs [Infant Mortality Rates]."

Julie Lévesque, 2016

"To a highly significant degree, the CDC and the World Health Organization are PR agencies, whose job is to convince the public that stepping up, rolling up their sleeves, and submitting to shots containing germs and toxic chemicals is the most natural and wise action possible."

Jon Rappoport, 2014

"Aluminum has been added to vaccines since about 1926. Aluminum affects memory, cognition, psychomotor control; it damages the blood brain barrier, activates brain inflammation, depresses mitochondrial function and plenty of research suggests it is a key player in the formation of the amyloid "plaques" and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. It's been implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and autism and demonstrated to induce allergy."

Celeste McGovern

"The American Medical Association [AMA] not only opposes single payer healthcare. something supported by 60% of doctors, but even opposed a weak public insurance option. While not long ago it represented 70% of American doctors, it is now down to 30%. Their callous disregard of the needs of patients and the opinions of doctors is why they are a shell of an organization."

Kevin Zeese, 2009

"No one should be forced to undergo a medical treatment without informed consent and without their agreement to the treatment. We condemn the forced sterilization of the '20s and '30s, the Tuskegee medical experiments infecting black inmates, and the Nazi medicine that included involuntary "Euthanasia," experimentation and sterilization. How can we force vaccination without consent? Vaccination is a medical treatment with risks including death. It is totally antithetical to all ethics in medicine to mandate that risk to others.
... If you think the government has the right to forcibly vaccinate people, for the good of society, what is to prevent them from forcibly sterilizing people, or forcibly euthanizing people, or forcibly implanting a tracking device, for the good of society?"

Lee Hieb, M.D.

"We have large sociopathic pharmaceutical companies making big bucks from worthless protections against minor diseases, which often create collateral damage that's considered worth the greater good of herd immunity. All nonsense. But it's a great business profit oriented model."

Paul Fassa, 2017

"Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

"Vaccines contain a vast array of potentially dangerous ingredients, including antibiotics, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), bovine fetal tissue, polysorbate and heavy metals like aluminum and the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal. When these are shot into the bloodstream, they bypass the majority of the body's natural immune system which resides in the gut."

Melissa Melton, 2012

"The CDC's own data reveals a 340% increased risk of autism in African-American children following the MMR vaccine."

Julie Lévesque, 2016

"Vaccines can trigger autoimmunity. Defined autoimmune diseases that may occur following vaccinations include arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, dermatomyosiositis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and demyelinating disorders."

Celeste McGovern

"The medical establishment does not take kindly to the idea of a serious connection between diet and cancer or for that matter, virtually any other disease. Big Medicine in America is in the business of treating disease with drugs and surgery after symptoms appear... The American Cancer Society gives almost no credence to the idea that diet is linked to cancer."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"A 2014 report released by the Council of Foreign Relations revealed that the most highly vaccinated populations are also those with the greatest number of outbreaks for those same infectious diseases. This was especially the case for measles, mumps, rubella, polio and pertussis outbreaks. The US, Canada, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan-each with the highest number of mandated vaccines-led the list of nations."

Dr. Gary Null and Richard Gale, 2015

"The corporate health-care system is set up to make money, not to care for sick people."

Lewis H. Lapham, 2006

"The problem is not just pharmaceuticals and it's not just the the American Medical Association, and the private insurers, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and so on. The whole healthcare system now is dominated by for-profit corporations."

Robert Reich, 2009

" You are not threatened with bankruptcy in Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Japan, Italy, Spain. In none of these countries can a citizen be bankrupted by their illness. But it is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States."

Jim McDermott, Democratic congressman from Washington state, 2009

"According to a CDC epidemiologist who had analyzed the agency's massive database containing the medical records of 100,000 children, a mercury-based preservative in the vaccines - thimerosal - appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children.
The CDC paid the Institute of Medicine to conduct a study to whitewash the risks of thimerosal, ordering researchers to "rule out" the chemical's link to autism.
It withheld epidemiologist's findings, even though they had been slated for immediate publication, and told other scientists that his original data had been "lost" and could not be replicated. And to thwart the Freedom of Information Act, it handed its giant database of vaccine records over to a private company, declaring it off-limits to researchers. By the time the epidemiologist finally published his study in 2003, he had gone to work for GlaxoSmithKline and reworked his data to bury the link between thimerosal and autism."

Julie Lévesque, 2016

"In the early 1950s, there were four vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and smallpox. Because three of these vaccines were combined into a single shot (DTP), children received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and not more than one shot at a single visit.
By the mid-1980s, there were seven vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella and polio. Because six of these vaccines were combined into two shots (DTP and MMR), and one, the polio vaccine, was given by mouth, children still received five shots by the time they were 2 years old and not more than one shot at a single visit.
Since the mid-1980s, many vaccines have been added to the schedule. Now, children could receive as many as 24 shots by 2 years of age and five shots in a single visit."

Melissa Melton

"The government is saying that animal products, dairy, meat, refined sugar and fat in your diet are good for you. The government is turning a blind eye to the evidence as well as to the millions of Americans who suffer from nutrition-related illnesses The covenant of trust between the U.S. government and the American citizen has been broken.

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"Although an association between multiple sclerosis and the hepatitis B vaccine has been debated for over 15 years, the CDC continues to categorically deny this relationship. However, a 2014 retrospective French study investigating the sudden spike in multiple sclerosis cases since 1993, identified France's mass Hepatitis B vaccination program as the perpetuator for a doubling of MS cases within a few years."

Dr. Gary Null and Richard Gale, 2015

"Drug company employees or their agents often design the drug studies, perform the analysis, write the papers, and decide whether and in what form to publish the results. Sometimes the medical faculty who serve as investigators are little more than hired hands, supplying patients and collecting data according to instructions from the company.
In view of this control and the conflicts of interest that permeate the enterprise, it is not surprising that industry-sponsored trials published in medical journals consistently favor sponsors' drugs."

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

"Despite a lofty reputation and purported commitment to universal coverage, AMA has fought almost every major effort at health care reform of the past 70 years."

Sam Stein, 2009

"Vaccine manufacturers continued to sell off their mercury-based supplies of vaccines until 2004.
The CDC and FDA bought up mercury-tainted vaccines for export to developing countries and allowed drug companies to continue using the preservative in some American vaccines - including several pediatric flu shots as well as tetanus boosters routinely given to eleven-year-olds."

Julie Lévesque, 2016

"Every promoted so-called "pandemic" is an extended sales pitch for vaccines. And not just a vaccine against the "killer germ" of the moment. We're talking about a psyop to condition the population to vaccines in general."

Jon Rappoport, 2014

"A top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission "vectors" that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon."

Wayne Madsen

"The prevalence rate for autism in the United States before 1990 was only three children per 10,000. When the CDC began surveillance of the study population in 2000, figures clocked in at one child in every 150. Since then, autism diagnoses have been steadily increasing each year."

Melissa Melton

"The entire system of public nutrition information has been co-opted by industry sources. They run the show. They buy a few academic hacks who have gained positions of power and who exercise considerable influence, both within academia and government."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"What health insurance corporations want to do is enhance their profits. Enhance shareholder value. That's number one. The business that they're in is health care, but their primary motivation is to reward their shareholders - large, institutional investors and hedge funds.
... Health insurers confuse their customers and dump the sick, all so they can satisfy their Wall Street investors. They look carefully to see if a sick policyholder may have omitted a minor illness, a pre-existing condition, when applying for coverage, and then they use that as justification to cancel the policy, even if the enrollee has never missed a premium payment."

Wendell Potter, former insurance executive, 2009

"Center for Disease Control [CDC] and Food and Drug Administration [FDA] researchers identify 749 deaths linked to the administration of the Hib vaccine, 51% of which were sudden infant death linked to the administration of Hib vaccine."

Julie Lévesque, 2016

"Medical schools now have their own numerous deals with industry and are hardly in a moral position to object to their faculty behaving in the same way. Two thirds of academic medical centers hold equity interest in companies that sponsor research within the same institution. Two thirds of medical school department chairs received departmental income from drug companies and three fifths received personal income."

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

"The medical status quo relies heavily on medication and surgery to the exclusion of nutrition and lifestyle. Doctors have virtually no training in nutrition and how it relates to health.
... The health damage that results from doctors' ignorance of nutrition is astounding."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"We force 700,000 Americans into bankruptcy each year because of medical bills. In France, the number of medical bankruptcies is zero. Britain: zero. Japan: zero. Germany: zero."

T.R. Reid, 2009

"The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it's disgraceful."

Arnold Seymour Relman, Harvard Professor of Medicine and former Editor-in-Chief, The New England Medical Journal

"The third leading cause of death in the United States is the American medical system, with a total of 225,000 deaths per year. The breakdown of that figure works out to be 106,000 dead Americans as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs having an adverse effect resulting in death, 80,000 deaths from infections contracted in the hospital, another 20,000 dead people because of hospital errors, add another 7,000 deaths per year due to errors with hospital medication, and lastly, 12,000 more deaths cause by unnecessary surgeries."

"Chemotherapy and radiotherapy will make the ancient method of drilling holes in a patient's head to permit the escape of demons look relatively advanced. Toxic chemotherapy is a hoax. The doctors who use it are guilty of pre-meditated murder."

Ernst T. Krebs Jr., American biochemist

"My clinical experience is that in America when people die from cancer, they are not actually dying from cancer, but instead, they are dying from the medical treatment itself. They are dying from the chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Again: they are not dying from cancer-they are being killed by the medical doctors and their medical treatment!"

Richard Shulze, N.D., M.H

"97 percent of the time chemotherapy does not work. So why is it still used? There's one reason and one reason only: money."

Dr. Peter Glidden

"As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much more harm than good."

Alan Nixon, Ph.D. & former President, American Chemical Society

"Big Pharma spends $4.5 billion a year on television ads in the United States. How quickly do you think that money would disappear if the nightly news ran stories about how many people were dropping dead from prescription medicine? Exactly, that's why you are never going to watch a story on the news that paints the pharmaceutical industry in a horrible light."

Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

"Drug companies have perfected a new and highly effective method to expand their markets. Instead of promoting drugs to treat diseases, they have begun to promote diseases to fit their drugs. The strategy is to convince as many people as possible (including their doctors) that they have medical conditions that require long-term drug treatment."

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

"Government research funding goes to the development of drugs and devices instead of healthy nutrition."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"Most medical journals receive half or more of their income from pharmaceutical company advertising and reprint orders, and dozens of others journals are owned by pharmaceutical companies."

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines."

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2015

"Vitamin D is not a nutrient that we need to consume. Our body can make all that we need simply by being in sunlight fifteen to thirty minutes every couple of days.
... Heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer's, obesity or diabetes are relatively unknown in traditional cultures that subsist mostly on whole plant foods.
... Casein, and very likely all animal proteins, may be the most relevant cancer-causing substances that we consume. Adjusting the amount of dietary casein has the power to turn on and turn off cancer growth."

T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, 2006

"Percentage of cancer patients whose lives are predictably saved by chemotherapy is 3%
Conclusive evidence that chemotherapy has any positive influence on survival 0%
Percentage of Oncologists who said if they had cancer they would not participate in chemotherapy trials due to its "ineffectiveness and its unacceptable toxicity" 75%
Percentage of people with cancer in the U.S. who receive chemotherapy 75%
Radiation-induced secondary cancers have exploded in the last two decades due to radiation treatment
90% of chemotherapy patients die 10-15 years after treatment and the causes is never attributed to treatment
Patients who undergo chemo are 14x more likely to develop leukemia and 6x more likely to develop cancer of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who do not undergo chemotherapy
Chemotherapy drugs directly damage DNA
Chemotherapy boosts cancer growth 68% increase in chemo drugs since 2003
75% increase in cancer projected by 2030."
