Controlling the (Over) Population in More Ways Than One

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 - by Terry Melanson

Dr. Tim Ball - Monday, August 3, 2009

A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away. Government control is the name of the game. - Barry Goldwater.

Piece by Piece, Sector by Sector

The United States is rapidly coming under almost total government control as the Obama administration uses exaggerated claims of failure of capitalism and the Bush administration as the excuse. Banks, automobile companies, energy companies (directly or indirectly through Cap and Trade), health care, and employment through increased government jobs or government-funded jobs are monopolizing the populace as the control expands. How far will this go? A long way if Obama’s background and the views of his appointees are a measure. Now they’re planning to control the weather. John Holdren, the science adviser, has already advocated controlling climate through geo-engineering in administrative discussions. Population control is not on the agenda yet, but population control to stop climate change supposedly provides legitimacy. Holdren was advocating population control long before climate change became an issue, but now he has the perfect vehicle for his dangerous uninformed ideas.

The Rockefeller Plan, Part 5

[NOTE: On July 2, 2008 Barack Obama in Colorado said, “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded as the military.” Obama’s attorney-general Eric Holder on NBC’s This Week (May 2, 1999) said: “[The Second Amendment] talks about bearing arms in a well-regulated militia. And I don’t think anywhere it talks about an individual.” Since Holder doesn’t believe you as an individual have a right to bear arms, can you envision Obama’s civilian national security force knocking on your door and asking you to turn over any weapons you may have? What would you do?

Further to my recent column “If War Had Not Come In Fierce and Exaggerated Form,” the (London) Daily Mail on December 20, 2008 published “Secret of the Lusitania: Arms Find Challenges Allied Claims it was Solely a Passenger Ship.”]

Continuing with the final (political/New World Order) element of the Rockefeller plan, in David Rockefeller’s Memoirs (2002) he revealed on page 405 that he’s part of a “secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,… conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will.” Of course, in David Brooks’ lengthy review of this book in The New York Times on October 20, 2002, there’s absolutely mention of this remarkable admission by Rockefeller.

Many believe Americans will never succumb to the Rockefeller plan. However, that’s why David Rockefeller praised Chairman Mao in his August 10, 1973 New York Times article, helping to open the door to Communist China and thus increasing its economic (and military) power. More recently, Bush Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson had traveled to China 70 times and started the U.S.-China Strategic Cooperation and Communication Initiative. Paulson was formerly with Goldman-Sachs, which financially represents China in the U.S. in some important areas. In addition CFR member Paulson recently was given authority by Congress to use TARP (Emergency Economic Stabilization Act) money any way he saw fit, so Bank of America used $7 billion of their loan from Paulson to buy an interest in a Chinese bank (Citigroup used $10 billion to buy 44 Spanish toll roads).

Obama’s Neocon: The Curious Case of Richard Holbrooke

Thursday, January 29th, 2009 - by Terry Melanson

Joshua Frank - January 24, 2009

In wee morning hours on Friday, January 23, a U.S. spy plane killed at least 15 in Pakistan near the Afghanistan border. It was Barack Obama’s first blood and the U.S.’s first violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty under the new administration. The attack was an early sign that the newly minted president may not be overhauling the War on Terror this week, or even next.

As the U.S. government fired upon alleged terrorists in the rugged outback of Pakistan, Obama was back in Washington appointing Richard Holbrooke as a special U.S. representative to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, like the remote control bombing that claimed human life, Obama’s vision for the region, in the embodiment of Holbrooke, may not be a drastic departure from the failed Bush doctrine. Or a departure at all.

The Power Elite Playbook, Japan, Land of Western Industrialization Part 16

Monday, November 17th, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

Deanna Spingola | 2008-11-17 - In Japan - “For a thousand years, it was the policy of emperors and shoguns to keep the people ignorant, and to keep taxes high enough so families had to struggle to survive, because this kept them fully occupied and harmless.”

J. P. Morgan was involved in Japan during the Meiji Restoration (1867-1912) which replaced the ruling Tokugawa Shogunate with the restored imperial family. This trade-off of power was merely a cosmetic change.


Barack Obama is the Black George Bush

Saturday, November 15th, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

Outlaw Journalism - 13/11/2008

The Attacks on Barack Obama by the mainstream right-wing pundits have been nonsensical. They have called him a communist, which is funny because he was so heavily backed by the fascist corporate establishment and elite banking cartel, and they have called him a Muslim terrorist, which is very strange, considering his undying support for the Zionist state of Israel. In the following article, I will demonstrate that if supporters of the Bush agenda were intellectually honest, they would be ecstatic about the recent election of Barack Hussein Obama as president of the United States, as he is nothing less than the Black George Bush.

It appears that many supporters of Obama are almost totally unfamiliar with his own stated policies and political associations, and even less familiar with the nature of the men he has begun to surround himself with. I will go into some detail about these agendas and associations. It also seems that many people are unclear about what I mean when I say “politics are fake”. Rather than go into laborious detail about the nature of the mechanism that runs the world system, a full examination of which would fill endless volumes, I will attempt to demonstrate the superficial nature of the political theatre by analyzing the goals of the “left” in contrast with that of the “right”, and show that they are in fact simply two clawed hands of the same frothing beast, pushing us toward the same seemingly inevitable ends.

The purpose of this article is not to show that “Obama has bad policies”, but rather to show that he is a puppet, a highly paid actor, representing not the interests of the people, or even his own interests, but the interests of the globalist elite who are hell-bent on establishing a world government.

The Power Elite Playbook, China: Shanghaied by Communism Part 15

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

Deanna Spingola | 2008-11-04 - Who and what motivated Japan’s brutal activities against its neighbors as described in part 14? Britain detrimentally meddled in Asia in the 19th century and America meddled in Asia in the 20th century - who was behind their actions? Kuhn, Loeb and Company financed Japan’s Russian invasion in 1905 while the European Rothschilds financed the Russians which somehow failed to receive timely armament delivery. Russia’s objectives, viable in 1895, were an ice-free Pacific port and the acquisition of just enough leased territory for the continuation of her transcontinental railway.1 The conflict decimated Russia’s economy, preparatory to the well-planned revolution based on philosophy from Karl Marx (1818-83). The House of Rothschild, since 1863, had headquarters in four cities: London, Paris, Vienna and Frankfort.2

On January 30, 1902, Japan signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance with Great Britain. Japan would be “the Crown’s policeman in Asia,” to do the dirty work - the killing and the dying. The alliance included high-interest loans from Rothschild-controlled British banks to finance Japan’s armament purchases and ships from British firms. Great Britain then demanded that Russia abandon the Kwantung Peninsula, territory leased from China six years before. Russia had already spent $300 million on improvements.3 The alliance was renewed after the Russo-Japanese War and in 1911 after Japan’s annexation of Korea (part of Japan from 1910 to 1945). As directed, Japan adopted the gold standard. Carroll Quigley stated the following about the gold standard: “As a consequence, many persons, including financiers and economists, were astonished to discover, in the twentieth century, that the gold standard gave stable exchanges and unstable prices.”4 Those who own/control the majority of any commodity, dictate its value, something to consider regarding the 50-year period of regimented Japanese plundering throughout Asia.

Integration with the United States?

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

North American Forum

U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman at the World Affairs Council of Northern California's fourth North American Forum, June 16, 2008 in Washington, DC.

Kristin Bricker - October 17, 2008

Every year since 2005, a group of military officials, ex-directors of the CIA, and officials and ex-officials from Mexico, Canada, and the United States have secretly met in some isolated place in North America to discuss, however unbelievable it seems, the scenarios that could bring us to the integration of the three countries.  Luxury hotels and exclusive retreats set the scene for a troubling “integration” that we know nothing about, because the group doesn’t publish its agenda or its resolutions.

The directors of the continent’s most important oil companies also attend these meetings, which feel like a SPECTRE meeting from James Bond movies (with wealthy gentlemen, luxury cars, and decorated high-ranking military officials).  But we shouldn’t give them more credit than they deserve, because in reality the forum is this side of the Atlantic’s copy of the Bilderberg Club, a European group of aristocrats and “dignitaries,” of which little is known, formed in Holand in 1954 in order to promote understanding between the United States and Western Europe after a great war, and later to influence the formation of the European Community.

The North American Forum conspirators are presided over by a triumvirate made up of Pedro Aspe Armella, ex-secretary of the Mexican Treasury under Carlos Salinas de Gortari (which explains a lot); George Shultz, ex-secretary of State and current advisor to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney (which explains even more); and Peter Lougheed, ex-prime minister of Alberta province, involved during his term in petroleum and natural gas issues.

The People’s Republic of America

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D. - October 20, 2008

[NOTE: Charlie Rose on his September 16, 2008 PBS program interviewed Bob Woodward regarding his new book THE WAR WITHIN. In researching for the book, Woodward interviewed President Bush and was surprised Bush deliberately avoided words like “victory” or “win” regarding the Iraq war, but rather said we need to “succeed.” Woodward was also surprised that when asking about the decision to change strategies in Iraq, Bush said “there’s no hurry.” Can you imagine a general in World War II deciding to change a failed strategy saying “there’s no hurry”? What Woodward apparently doesn’t realize is that the goal in attacking Iraq was to establish a permanent military presence in the region. With that in mind, saying “succeed” rather than “victory” or “win,” and saying “there’s no hurry” actually makes perfect sense. Shortly after the war began, many Iraqis became suspicious of our motives since we could fire a long-range cruise missile with great precision, but for some reason we couldn’t seem to provide the Iraqis with basic services like electricity. Many people around the world also have a negative attitude toward Americans. We say ours is a government of and by the people, and then we elect leaders who have supported dictators who violently oppress their own people. Why should the oppressed people in those nations like us?

Our “success” in Iraq in large part is due to the Sunni “Awakening,” which is actually our paying (bribing) Sunni militia about $300 a month per man to act as police rather than kill American soldiers. Do you think such an “Awakening” in Afghanistan might reduce opium production? After all, haven’t we paid American farmers billions of dollars not to plant certain crops. Relevant to media bias in the presidential campaign, it was clear from ABC’s George Stephanopoulos (Rhodes scholar) who at the end of the October 7 debate proclaimed Obama as exhibiting Commander-in-Chief qualities, when Obama obviously didn’t understand the need to distinguish between how one deals with adversaries (Obama mentioned Iraq, North Korea and Iran) and a nation one still hopes will be an ally (the question involved uninvited military action in Pakistan). Also regarding the media in the last presidential debate on October 15, moderator Bob Schieffer sat silent as Obama said “all” of McCain’s ads were negative. This was another clear lie that was not identified as such at the time by Schieffer or even McCain himself. If Obama wins the election in early November, don’t be surprised if Israel attacks Iran between then and the date Obama takes office, because Israel may believe it would receive more support for its actions from Bush than from Obama.]

Most people seem confused about the current global economic crisis. How did it happen? Who is to blame? Actually there are people who know exactly what’s going on as well as why and how it happened.

At the front of my book SECRET RECORDS REVEALED (1998), I wrote that on June 28, 1998 THE WASHINGTON POST published an article about the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) titled “At Secret Meetings in Switzerland, 13 People Shape the World’s Economy,” which described these individuals as “this economic cabal… this secretive group… the financial barons who control the world’s supply of money.”

Joel Connelly - October 16, 2008

THE MEN ARE shown with sex toys around their necks, doing skits in blackface, dressed in wigs and women’s clothing and consuming copious quantities of alcoholic beverages.

Are these the boys-will-be-boys antics of the wildest frat house on some college campus?

Nope, it’s the American power elite at play, as photographed by Alejandro Tomas over 26 years of attending an annual horse ride called Rancheros Visitadores in the Santa Ynez Valley near Santa Barbara, Calif.

Buckley: Bedtime for Bonzo?

Saturday, October 18th, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

Posted by Lew Rockwell at October 15, 2008 09:41 AM

Writes Charles Burris:

Novelist and political satirist Christopher T. Buckley, Skull and Bones, Yale 1975, the son of the late William F. Buckley Jr., Skull and Bones, Yale 1950, novelist and founding editor of the Central Intelligence Agency’s political humor magazine, National Review, has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack H. Obama and has subsequently left the publication his father began. Buckley cited his colleague, Cato Institute comedian P. J. O’Rourke, a founder of the National Lampoon, one-time rival publication to National Review, in explaining his reasons for the break with his family’s tradition of Republican endorsements. One wonders how this O’Rourke reference will sit with GOP comedy czars, the Koch brothers, the kings of beltway slapstick economics.

Buckley was the chief speech writer for former CIA director George H. W. Bush, Skull and Bones, Yale 1948, while Bush was vice president under Ronald W. Reagan, former TV host of Death Valley Days. He is married to Lucy S. Gregg Buckley, former State Department reports officer and daughter of thirty-one year CIA veteran Donald P. Gregg, who served as national security advisor to Bush during the Iran-Contra Scandal.

On exiting the Republican Party and the humor magazine his CIA agent father founded, Buckley paraphrased Reagan’s famous quip: “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The Party left me.” The star of Brother Rat could not have said it better.


The Rich Boys - The Elite Circle of Oil and Mineral Baron Marc Rich

Saturday, October 18th, 2008 - by Terry Melanson

2008 10 11 - Red Ice Creations

Ed Comment: This is an excellent article from Business Week, but what they fail to realize is that corporate crooks like Marc Rich are an intricate part the geopolitical chess game. The corporate crooks are in bed with (or even behind) the corrupt politicians (like Bill Clinton, who gave Marc Rich a presidential pardon late in 2001, during Clinton’s last day in office.)

Also why royalty like the King of Spain, Juan Carlos I (with the title King of Jerusalem) supported Rich’s pardon is not addressed (ref)

Zionist Marc has also been pouring money into Israel and there’s possible ties to the Mossad (ref).

Eugenics, the Council for National Policy (CNP), and the Pioneer Fund

Here’s a link to the Collins brothers’ latest: The Seduction of Sarah Palin: Eugenics, CNP, and the Pioneer Fund.

Through the incredible work of the Collins brothers I have finally gotten a grasp on the entire fascist nexus of the elite in America. This latest one literally wraps it all up: from the current vetting of Palin by the CNP to the Pioneer Fund to the Nazis and the Eugenic establishment (then and now).
