<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">India is steeped in synthesised controversy, created by Monsanto on the first GM crop supposedly-approved for commercialisation in India. Engaged in litigation on many fronts, Monsanto is trying to subvert our Patent Law, our Plant Variety and Farmers Rights Act, our Essential Commodities Act , our Anti Monopoly Act (Competition Act). It is behaving as if there is no Parliament, no Democracy, no Sovereign Laws in India to which it is subject. Or, it simply does not have any regard for them.</em></div>

In another theatre, Monsanto and Bayer are merging. They were one as MOBAY (MonsantoBayer), part of the Poison Cartel of IG Farben. Controlling stakes of both Corporations lies with the same private equity firms.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
he expertise of these companies are those of war. IG Farben – Hitler’s economic power and pre-war Germany’s highest foreign exchange earner – was also a foreign intelligence operation. Herman Shmitz was President of IG Farben, Shmitz’s nephew Max Ilgner was a Director of IG Farben, while Max’s brother Rudolph Ilgner handled the New York arm of the ‘VOWI‘ network as vice president of CHEMNYCO.</div>

Paul Warburg – brother of Max Warburg (Board of Directors, Farben Aufsichsrat) – was one of the founding members of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. He was also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Max Warburg and Hermann Schmitz played a central role in the Farben empire. Other “guiding hands” of Farben Vorstand included Carl Bosch, Fritz ter Meer, Kurt Oppenheim and George von Schnitzler. Every one of them were adjudged ‘War Criminals’ after World War II, except Paul Warburg.</div>

<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">MOBAY (MonsantoBayer) supplied ingredients for Agent Orange in the Vietnam War</strong>. 20 million gallons of MOBAY defoliants and herbicides were sprayed over South Vietnam. Children are still being born with birth defects, adults have chronic illnesses and cancers, due to their exposure to MOBAY’s chemicals. Monsanto and Bayer’s cross-licensed Agent Orange Resistance has also been cross-developed for decades.</div>

Wars were fought, lives were lost, countries carved into holy lands – with artificial boundaries that suit colonisation and resource grab – while Bayer and Monsanto sold chemicals as bombs and poisons and their brothers provided the loans to buy those bombs.</div>

More recently, according to <a href="http://news.monsanto.com/press-release/bayer-cropscience-and-monsanto-enter-long-term-business-and-license-agreements-key-ena" style="border: 0px; color: #117bb8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Monsanto’s website</a> Bayer CropScience AG and Monsanto Co. have “<a href="http://news.monsanto.com/press-release/bayer-cropscience-and-monsanto-enter-long-term-business-and-license-agreements-key-ena" style="border: 0px; color: #117bb8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">entered into a series of long-term business and licensing agreements related to key enabling agricultural technologies</a>”. This gives Monsanto and Bayer free access to each other’s herbicide and the paired herbicide resistance technology. Through cross licensing agreements like these, mergers and acquisitions, the biotech industry has become the IG Farben of today, with Monsanto in the cockpit.</div>

The Global Chemical and GMO industry – Bayer, Dow Agro, DuPont Pioneer, Mahyco, Monsanto and Syngenta – have come together to form Federation of Seed Industry of India (FSII) to try and become bigger bullies in this assault on India’s farmers, the environment , and democratically framed laws that protect the public and national interest.This is in addition to the lolly-group ABLE, the Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises, which tried to challenge India’s Seed Price Control order issued under the Essential commodities Act, in the High Court of Karnataka. The case was dismissed.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The new Group is not “seed Industry”, they produce no seeds. And they try to stretch patents on chemicals to claim ownership on seed, even in countries where patents on seeds and plants are not allowed by law. This is the case in India, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and many other countries.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
All the Monsanto cases in India are related to Monsanto un-scientifically, illegally and illegitimately claiming patents on seed, in contempt of India’s laws, and trying to collect royalties from the Indian seed industry and Indian farmers. The FSII is an “IG Farben 100 Year Family Reunion”, a federation is a coming together of independent and autonomous entities.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Farben family chemical cartel was responsible for exterminating people in concentration camps</strong> . They embody a century of ecocide and genocide, carried out in the name of scientific experimentation and innovation. Today the poison cartel is wearing G-Engineering clothes, and citing the mantra of “innovation” ad nauseum. Hitlers concentration camps were an “innovation” in killing. 100 years later, the Farben Family are carrying out the same extermination, silently, globally, much more efficiently.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Monsanto’s “innovation” of collecting illegal royalties and pushing Indian farmers to suicide</strong> is also an innovation in killing without liability, indirectly. Just because there is a new way to kill does not make killing right, or a right. “Innovation” like every human activity, has limits – limits set by ethics, justice, democracy, the rights of people, the rights of nature.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Industry is getting ready to push its next “gene” the GM-Mustard (DMH-11). The GM mustard being promoted as a public sector “innovation” is based on barnase/barstar/ gene system to create male-sterile plants and a bar gene for Glufosinate Resistance.In 2002 Pro-Agro’s (Bayer) application for approval for commercial planting of GM Mustard based on the same system was rejected.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Although banned in India, Bayer finds ways to sell Glufosinate, to the tea gardens of Assam and the apple orchards of Himachal Pradesh, illegally. Sales agents show the Glufosinate sales under the ‘other’ category to avoid regulation. These chemicals are finding their way into the bodies of our children without government approval. Essentially all key patents related to the bar gene are held by Bayer Crop Science which acquired Aventis Cropscience, which itself was created out of the Genetic Engineering divisions of Schering, Rhone Poulenc and Hoechst. Then Bayer acquired Plant Genetics Systems, and entered into cooperation agreement with Evogene – which has patents on genome mapping.</div>

Before any approval is granted to the <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Genetically Engineered Mustard</strong>, the issue of limits to patentability needs to be resolved on the basis of Indian law, patents on plants and seeds and methods of agriculture must not be allowed, because they are not allowed.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Pental, a retired professor and GM-Operative, will not commercialise GM Mustard seed. His Commanding Officers at Bayer/Monsanto/MOBAY will.</div>

Given our experience with GMO cotton, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) is considering the option of putting in place guidelines for socio-economic assessment to judge proposed GM varieties on the basis of factors such as economy, health, environment, society and culture.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

At the core of socio economic assessment is the issue of monopolies and cartels and impact on small farmers. Even though patents on seeds are not allowed, for more that one and a half decade Monsanto has extracted illegal royalties from Indian farmers, trapping them in debt, and triggering an epidemic of farmers suicides. Monsanto’s war on India’s foot soldiers – farmers – is a war being waged by the Farben Family, on our Earth Family.</div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Soros Leaks: The Most Important Story You’re Not Hearing</span></span></h1>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">One of the biggest stories is unfolding right now, and most people probably haven’t heard it. It’s the <strong style="max-width: 100%;"><a href="http://soros.dcleaks.com/" rel="nofollow" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">leaks of thousands of emails and documents from George Soros’ “Open Society Foundation”</a></strong>, that detail strategy, tactics, grants, and more from Soros’ global network.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">From the U.S. to Europe Soros’ largesse has been exposed as a major prop behind much of our society’s hegemonic liberal discourse. Light is also shed on the plans and tactics being used, particularly against Russia, to undermine traditional family structures and European identity worldwide.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">As Black Lives Matter burn the streets of Milwaukee, <strong style="max-width: 100%;"><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/08/16/hacked-soros-memo-baltimore-riots-provide-unique-opportunity-reform-police/" rel="nofollow" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Breitbart News</a></strong> is reporting that Soros has given the organization close to $650,000. Leaving no crisis to waste, the documents make explicit the strategies all of us on the Alt-Right have known Soros and co. have been pursuing for decades. From the documents (emphasis <em style="max-width: 100%;">Breitbart</em>):</span></span></div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 6px; max-width: 100%; padding-left: 16px;">
<div style="max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">In particular, recent events offer a unique opportunity to accelerate the dismantling of structural inequality generated and maintained by local law enforcement and to engage residents who have historically been disenfranchised in Baltimore City in shaping and monitoring reform. Building on our existing networks and programs, OSI-Baltimore will focus investments on: 1) creating a culture of accountability for policing in Baltimore, recognizing the pervasive racism, disrespect, and lawlessness that gave rise to recent events; and 2) building the capacity of activists in Baltimore to demand and achieve immediate and long-term reforms.</span></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">“Dismantling structural inequality” is just another way of saying dispossession.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Further documents reveal the Foundation’s role in funding many of the groups that would later become “Black Lives Matter”. Also striking are the documents stark discussion of demographic realities, however, they do so in a way that’s menacing for members of the Historic American Nation.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">In addition to funding local NAACP and Mexican American groups throughout states such as North Carolina and Texas. Such demographic real talk is spoken of in plain language in a way that it never is in Conservatism Inc. For instance, <strong style="max-width: 100%;"><a href="safari-reader://tapnewswire.com/Users/CO2%20Staff/Downloads/-dp%20tx%20nc%20context%20strategies%20first%20grantees%20063010%20%281%29.pdf" rel="nofollow" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;">look at the following</a></strong> (emphasis mine):</span></span></div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 6px; max-width: 100%; padding-left: 16px;">
<div style="max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For much of the past decade, North Carolina has been among the nation’s fastest growing states for three primary reasons: 1) it has a pleasant quality of life, with decent weather and a lower cost of living than the Boston to Washington, DC urban corridor; 2) the employment situation is strong and diversified, with its higher education institutions creating a high tech mecca, principally in the Research-Triangle area of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, that draws many well educated northerners to the state, and the Charlotte area’s rise to be the nation’s second largest banking center after NYC; and 3) the free trade accelerated decline of its historic industries: textiles, furniture, and tobacco has led to new low-wage economies of service, construction, and agribusiness industries that have made the state a magnet for immigrants from Mexico and Central America</span></span></div>
<div style="max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Because of these factors, North Carolina now has roughly nine million residents, slightly larger than the population of New York City, making it the third most populous southern state (after Texas and Florida). The state is now the nation’s tenth most populous and continues to grow. It is changing rapidly, with one third of the population now people of color and a tri-racial population dynamic – African-American, Latino, and white –replacing the Black/white dominance of old. North Carolina through the 1990s had the fastest growing immigrant population and in the 2000s had the fastest growing Latino population. This is no Mayberry (and taking TV fiction for what it is, the state likely never was Mayberry).</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Soros and the left understand that demographics are destiny, and the sooner the right understands this, the sooner that it can actually fight back.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Of course, it’s not just in the United States that Soros and his foundations are making plays.

A big part of which seems, is because Putin’s Russia won’t buy into the “open society” total vision of Soros and co.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">In the wake of these revelations, <strong style="max-width: 100%;"><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/30/russia-blacklists-george-soros-foundations-endangering-national-security/" rel="nofollow" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Russia has already taken steps to curb the influence of Soros non-profits</a></strong> and is wise to do so. If only our “right-wing” would be as brave.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">One amusing thing to come from these revelations is the work <strong style="max-width: 100%;"><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-08-16/how-george-soros-threatens-to-make-israel-a-pariah" rel="nofollow" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the Open Society Foundation is doing to promote “human rights” and generally big (L)iberalism in Israel</a></strong>. Which would only lead to the sort of self-doubt and weakness that would lead to the fall of an ethnically homogenous Jewish state. Ha!</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">One assumes that if this issue is picked up at all, it will be the above that “conservatives” will endlessly kvetch about. Meanwhile, they do their best to support Soros foundations war on Russia over such “human rights” issues as <strong style="max-width: 100%;"><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/11/george-soros-the-money-behind-the-transgender-move/" rel="nofollow" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">transgenderism</a></strong>, and whatever else is the latest in the multi-kulti death cult that rules us today, all as the same values are being promoted in the United States.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The issue remains the same globally, survival.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">European peoples the world over are being dispossessed and hollowed out. These revelations are just the sort of thing we’ve all known for a long time, but it’s nice to see them so plainly stated. But don’t expect to hear about it on the nightly news!</span></span></div>

<strong style="background-color: black; max-width: 100%;"><span style="color: white;">Much to the dismay of Hillary Clinton, Russian President Vladimir Putin has rocketed up the popularity charts of world figures according to a British poll, proving that his determination to destroy the New World Order is resonating with people all over the world.</span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><a href="https://yougov.co.uk/" style="font-weight: 600; max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;">YouGov</a> surveyed people across 30 different countries and President Putin was the fastest riser on the list of 3000 world figures, being voted the sixth most admired man in the world.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">In contrast, Hillary Clinton, the New World Order’s selected candidate, is nowhere to be seen on the list.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">‘<i style="max-width: 100%;">It’s a unique window onto the shared values of humanity in 2016</i>,’ said Freddie Sayers of YouGov.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Putin, a judo enthusiast who can bench 230, has been hitting the New World Order where it hurts, outgunning, outflanking and all-round out-manoeuvring the Illuminati. He’s got them running scared, which is why they are in propaganda overdrive, pumping the mainstream Western media full of scare stories and untruths in an attempt to blind the masses to what is really happening before their very eyes.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The New World Order have all their chips stacked on a Hillary Clinton presidency. They are gearing up for a devastating war with Russia that will push the New World Order agenda much closer to completion. Already Clinton has begun the anti-Russia fear mongering, grooming the American population for war.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">However this international poll shows that people all over the world have started to wake up and notice, and they are rejecting the New World Order agenda. People are now backing Putin in their droves.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Do not be surprised if the mainstream media attempt to convince you of something deeply disturbing in the near future. We’ve had the Panama Papers leak and the mainstream media’s attempt to smear Putin. Never in history has the New World Order had such a firm grip on Western media operations. At the same time the New World Order has never had such a committed and formidable enemy as they have in Vladimir Putin.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This situation cannot continue. Something has to give.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">He ignored their siren calls and decided to follow his conscience. They promised him a prominent role at their high table, but he recognised their game and vowed to destroy them. Jacob Rothschild even declared Putin a “<i style="max-width: 100%;">traitor to the New World Order</i>.”</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Putin’s whole life, from his childhood in a rat-infested tenement building, to his calm and determined presidency, has been a demonstration of his pitiless resolve and determination to do what he knows he must for the sake of his people.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">

Social media users have begun sharing photo comparisons of the Democratic candidate to point out supposed ‘physical differences’ in the Clinton that was seen emerging from her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s house after the medical episode.</div>

She said after sitting in the air conditioning and drinking a glass of water she ‘immediately’ began feeling better and felt well enough to take a detour to visit her daughter Chelsea and her grandchildren.</div>

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This leak is huge. The amount of weight this will carry in the current political battlefield is undeniable and will shake the Democratic party to it's core. The details of this report are extensive; however, the gravity of what has just happened can not be bound to a single post. We will continue to keep you updated as the situation develops rapidly.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">We are quite possibly looking at the email dump that could cause the biggest shake up yet in this election and WikiLeaks has not even released anything in quite some time like they did back in July.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px;">These new revelations confirm that the DNC operated more like a crime organization than we knew? The leaks in July were nothing compared to the severity of documents released on September 14, 2016. We now have clear cut evidence of more “pay for play,” possible insider trading, Huma Abedin joking in emails about Benghazi, and more.</span><span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The DNC bought and sold more political influence than one could ever imagine. They have proven to be nothing more than a gigantic money laundering organization that provides corporate jobs for the highest donor, and many emails prove that below.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This leak is overwhelming, and we will list the findings, thus far, in a condensed fashion that is easily digestible.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">When Donald trump made the claim that Obama and Hillary were the “founders of ISIS,” he was not lying. WikiLeaks proved that with a memo weeks ago (<a href="https://conservativedailypost.com/breaking-wiki-leak-email-found-showing-secret-memo-to-obama-from-isis/" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;">here</a>), and now we have emails and documents from the DCCC proving the exact same thing. Democrats cannot deny something that they wrote themselves, and they wrote this memo.</span></span></div>

What sense does that make? And they want us to trust Hillary Clinton, of all people, with the highest office in the land? Not a chance.</span><br style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;" /></span></span><br />

As if two wrongs make a right, but Powell, in this email, voiced his clear concerns for Hillary in this email to a major donor. Jeffrey Leeds emailed that Hillary could “barely climb the podium” while Colin Powell described how bad she looked after her busy schedule of collecting millions from other corrupt cronies.</span><br style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;" /><br style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px;">It was also stated that the President wouldn’t weep if she found herself in legal trouble. While that is vague, it indicates that Obama may not like Hillary as much as they like to act like he does. Hillary added damage to Obama’s already tainted legacy, so it would make sense that Obama disliked her for several reasons. Especially given that he fired her after 2012.</span></span></span><br />

Dark disclosures.<br />
I’ve joined the illuminati. I will receive significant and ongoing financial support in return for capturing the minds of the curious and drawing them deeper into falsehoods. Previously I had cried foul against this hidden hand but that was before I stood to benefit from evil.<br />
I no longer have material concerns. All things are to be handed to me. In return I shepard energies down fruitless paths that would have otherwise been directed to expanding awareness. I do this by justifying your sense of victimisation and enabling your delusions of cleverness.<br />
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">what have they done to me?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">i feel so insanely sensible and infuriatingly logical. surely this does not come from me for it is not me and so it must be that there is an intruder in my house.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">my mind is caught up in the this and thats of the comings and the goings of the he said, she said mainstream machinations.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">at times i hear a chime in my ear, sometimes the left and sometimes the right and my normal wide band of focus is narrowed.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">i cannot see as a did.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">i no longer feel the currents beneath the culture.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">there is a lump behind my ear. it seems to transmit an acceptance of the illusion and im no longer able to see through as i did.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">i want to regain freedom but the pull is strong. i cannot escape the gravity of my enslavement. small material comforts hold greater importance than they warrant and i know i am not myself.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">this place is far from source and i wonder if i’ll ever make it home.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">i would seem that here in this world the bones of the past are pushing to the surface and in the minds of the curious the bones of the moons.

There is nothing but ghosts for light-years around.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">They whisper to living seeking vicarious pleasures and sustenance. The living are friendless apart from the company of themselves. The once feared one world government becomes the instinct of the herd, ultimately a great sense of freedom pervades. We are alone to do as we wish in our own corrupted way.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Most are ignorant of this simply because they believe they are good therefore the rhapsody is yet to occur.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I met a man raving by the river that disturbed me deeply.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">He stood upon a pile covered with a tarpaulin shouting at the river before promptly drowning himself.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As I tried to rescue him a facsimile arrived and helped me pull out the body of his doppelgänger. He then pulled back the tarpaulin to reveal the bodies of more copies and threw the most recent on top.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">He thanked me curtly, climbed the pile and began once again to harangue the river.</span><br />

<br />
i just watched "left behind. World at war." That was very disturbing.<br />
If God wrote the script for this shit I can only say he hasn't improved any since the bible. What an unloved bucket of crap this cinema folly is.<br />
BUT...<br />
It does serve well as insight into the state of American Christianity, aka; the great white jihadists.<br />
And what about this God of theirs? That is a violent son of bitch. The gnostic were onto something when they decided that whatever this entity was it was not God. They called him balboath, King of the archons and unwanted bastard child of the aeon Sophia. It's all very Tolkien.<br />
Bloods drips from every page of the Old Testament and the insidious new wasn't never even meant to make sense because that's how much respect "God" has for these new Christians.<br />
They do know that they are not his chosen people yet they still hang around hoping that one day the leader of the cool kids will pay them some attention. Odd.<br />
Also odd is this whole "if it be gods will" thing because I was under the impression that God, (from here I'm going to refer to this entity as gog cause typing God all the time gets spooky.), gave humans free will yet that will had to be given over to gogs will under threat of pestilence, apocalypse and flocks of murderous birds, (or was that Hitchcock?).<br />
(Am I using these bracket things right? I would do this by video but the fascist telco charges too much for data.) where was I...<br />
Trump will be president because Americans are predominantly fundamentalist Christian dumbfucks.<br />
No not really. I'm still a little off centre from watching "left behind."<br />
Ok so here is the connection.<br />
Trump will be president because these weird white jihadists want him to bring on the apocalypse so they can win favour with gog for smacking down the devil, who is Russian of course, and maybe then he will like them as much as he like the Jews.<br />
To make all this happen first they feint one way and go the other by favouring US alliance with China and Russian, abolishing NATO and UN and creating "global community" which Putin fronts.<br />
The Vatican is shot into space with its inhabitants, minus any small boys they hid in luggage.<br />
Holywood city replaces it as the spiritual centre of the planet, located in Colorado and run by reptilian high priests that hide small boys in their luggage...<br />
After years of being ignored North Korea sets itself on fire and runs through the streets of South Korea screaming "You never loved me!" Sadly surviving only to live isolated within an oxygen tent and gel bath.<br />
Trump will be lose leadership of global community to Putin and during the process of world wide disarmament the White jihadist spark ww3 having held back a massive armoury to kill all the non Christians before the non Christians can poison the bibles with Ebola.2, gog told them they would do that.<br />
This was supposed to happen with Obama but they just couldn't get that prick off the couch.<br />
So trump having done his duty as a gimp and a douche bag escapes to Mexico disguised as a bald evangelical but is recognised when trying to fashion road kill into a hairpiece. The Mexicans take pity on him and give him a job in the sanitation department.<br />
Whatever<br />
Viva la revolution<br />

<br />
This man has stolen all my most noble revolutionary aspirations and squashed my most intimate fantasy of infamy.<br />
All that comes after shall now be "in the style of" or worse still relegated to a genre.<br />
What the hell have I been doing all these years? Copy and pasted a few articles and filled up notebooks full of introspective trash, smoked a lot of dope and shouted "ups yours" to the system at every opportunity. I have a lot of fines but nothing else that even eludes to the grand delusions I had of being a player in the downfall of our fascist scum overlords.<br />
I'm just not clever enough.<br />
Barrett Brown however is and what's more the bastard is funny.<br />
At first read I was happy to find a talented gonzo journalist i could really get into like when I first read Hunter S Thompson but as I read on through a stack of <a href="https://freebarrettbrown.org/writings/" target="_blank">his articles</a> it became clear that this was no gonzo revival. This guy, Barrett Brown, who incidentally probably hates the way I murder English is making his own news by sticking it to "the man" and then having the audacity to report to the masses just how "the man" reacts to said sticking.<br />
Hunter S joined the satanic reptiles in return for an endless supply of young witches, pure Colombian and depleted uranium ammo. So fuck him.<br />
He has inspired me though, Barret I mean not Hunter S fuck him, and so this is where we are at. I'm writing this crap because Barrett Brown has forced me to reassess my former fantasies and take a good long hard look at myself and ask what, if anything I've achieved for the cause. None of this soul searching and self reprisal shall be inflicted on you here though as I'm just not that mean spirited, today.<br />
<br />
That bloody stylish Assange also make me feel so bloody infererior. I'd love to be locked up in an embassy with the evil doers at the door as the hero of the literate minority or locked up for corporate embarrassment with the support of the literate minority but alas I'm not clever enough. As far as clever goes i am smart enough to know that it's tough for these people and shiploads of other revolutionaries locked up around the planet, taking it for the team.<br />
Lets take a moment and give respect to those of us who made it off the couch.<br />
If I can shake off the apathy for any length of time I will be writing a stern letter to the powers that be . Already I have decided that at some point in the letter it will say "... And therefore, sir, you are an ass."<br />
"Death to fascist insect that preys on the life of the people!".<br />
Symbionese Liberation Army.<br />

<span style="color: white;">Totalitarian science lets you know you’re living in a totalitarian society.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">The government, the press, the mega-corporations, the prestigious foundations, the academic institutions, the “humanitarian” organizations say:</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“This is the disease. This is its name. This is what causes it. This is the drug that treats it. This is the vaccine that prevents it.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“This is how accurate diagnosis is done. These are the tests. These are the possible results and what they mean.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“Here are the genes. This is what they do. This is how they can be changed and substituted and manipulated. These are the outcomes.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“These are the data and the statistics. They are correct. There can be no argument about them.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“This is life. These are the components of life. All change and improvement result from our management of the components.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“This is the path. It is governed by truth which science reveals. Walk the path. We will inform you when you stray. We will report new improvements.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“This is the end. You can go no farther. You must give up the ghost. We will remember you.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">We are now witnessing the acceleration of Official Science. Of course, that term is an internal contradiction. But the State shrugs and moves forward.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">The notion that the State can put its seal on favored science, enforce it, and punish its competitors, is anathema to a free society.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">For example: declaring that psychiatrists can appear in court as expert witnesses, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/mental-disorders-do-not-exist/" target="_blank">when none of the so-called mental disorders listed in the psychiatric literature are diagnosed by laboratory tests</a>.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">For example: <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/ca-sb277-on-vaccines-moves-toward-disastrous-passage/" target="_blank">stating that vaccination is mandatory</a>, in order to protect the vaccinated (who are supposed to be immune) from the unvaccinated. An absurdity on its face.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">For example: announcing that the science of climate change is “settled,” when there are, in fact, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/un-climate-change-1000-scientists-say-no/" target="_blank">huge</a><a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/un-climate-change-1000-scientists-say-no/" target="_blank"> numbers of researchers who disagree</a>. —And then, drafting legislation and issuing executive orders based on the decidedly unsettled science.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">For example: officially approving the release and sale of medical drugs (“safe and effective”) <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/02/09/the-starfield-revelations/" target="_blank">which go on to kill, at a conservative estimate, 100,000 Americans every year</a>. And then <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/05/16/why-the-fda-should-be-charged-with-murder/" target="_blank">refusing to investigate or punish</a> the purveyors of these drug approvals (the FDA).</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">For example: permitting the widespread use of genetically modified food crops, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/monsanto-and-the-fda-2-crime-families-working-a-trillion-dollar-hustle/">based on no long-term studies of their impact on human health</a>. And then, arbitrarily announcing that the herbicide, Roundup, for which many of these crops are specifically designed, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/roundup-cancer-link-30000-doctorshealth-professionals-agree/" target="_blank">is non-toxic</a>.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">For example: declaring and promoting the existence of various epidemics, when the viruses purportedly causing them are not proven to exist and/or not proven to cause human illness (<a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/03/04/ebola-hoax-update-my-foia-request-to-the-cdc/" target="_blank">Ebola</a>, <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/the-sars-epidemic-are-viruses-taking-the-rap-for-industrial-poisons/" target="_blank">SARS</a>, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2012/08/17/dear-dallas-no-one-ever-proved-west-nile-disease-exists/" target="_blank">West Nile</a>, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/how-swine-flu-was-invented/" target="_blank">Swine Flu</a>, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/05/03/the-mers-virus-been-down-this-road-before/" target="_blank">etc</a>.)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">A few of you reading this have been with me since 1988, when I published my first book, <a href="http://amzn.to/1Ia0gQH" target="_blank">AIDS INC., Scandal of the Century</a>. Among other conclusions, I pointed out that HIV had never been shown to cause human illness; the front-line drug given to AIDS patients, AZT, was overwhelmingly toxic; and what was being called AIDS was actually a diverse number immune-suppressing conditions.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">Others of you have found my work more recently. I always return to the subject of false science, because it is the most powerful long-term instrument for repression, political control, and destruction of human life.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">As I’ve stated on many occasions, medical science is ideal for mounting and launching covert ops aimed at populations—because it appears to be politically neutral, without any allegiance to State interests.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">Unfortunately, medical science, on many fronts, <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/how-medical-criminals-are-faking-medical-science-every-day/" target="_blank">has been hijacked and taken over</a>. The profit motive is one objective, but beyond that, there is a more embracing goal:</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">Totalitarian control.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">On the issue of vaccines, I’ve written much <a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/fantasy-vaccines-remarkably-safe-and-effective/" target="_blank">about their dangers and ineffectiveness</a>. But also consider this: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMw2n8RIXVI" target="_blank">the push for mandatory vaccination</a> goes a long way toward creating a herd effect—<a href="https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/06/20/bill-gates-the-new-pavlov/" target="_blank">which is really a social construction</a>.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">In other words, parents are propagandized to think of themselves a kind of synthetic artificial “community.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">“Here we are. We are the fathers and mothers. We must all protect our children against the outliers, the rebels, the defectors, the crazy ones who refuse to vaccinate their own children. We are all in this together. They are the threat. The enemy. We are good. We know the truth. They are evil.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">This “community of the willing” are dedicated to what the government tells them. They are crusaders imbued with group-think. They run around promoting “safety and protection.” This group consciousness is entirely an artifact, propelled by “official science.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">The crusaders are, in effect, agents of the State.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">They are created by the State.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">Androids.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">They live in an absurd Twilight Zone where fear of germs (the tiny invisible terrorists) demands coercive action against the individuals who see through the whole illusion.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">This is what official science can achieve. This is how it can enlist obedient foot soldiers and spies who don’t have the faintest idea about how they’re being used.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">This is a variant on Orwell’s <a href="http://amzn.to/1SiVtGH" target="_blank">1984</a>. The citizens are owned by the all-embracing State, but they aren’t even aware of it.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
<span style="color: white;">That’s quite a trick.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">The End-State of Western Capitalism—People as Cash Cows</span></h1>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;"><a href="http://ru.journal-neo.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/anti-capitalism1.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img alt="anti-capitalism1" class="auxiliary float left" height="200" src="http://ru.journal-neo.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/anti-capitalism1-300x200.jpg" style="clear: both; display: block; float: left; font-size: 0.75em; height: auto; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 20px 0.5em auto; max-width: 100%;" width="300" /></a>America is proud of capitalism. Proud of the competition which has produced a dazzling array of inventions and consumer products. Any incursion resulting in government control of the “free market” is generally met with outcries of that old bugaboo: “Communist infiltration!”<br clear="none" style="max-width: 100%;" /><br clear="none" style="max-width: 100%;" />The activities of the United States abroad have become redolent of resource grabs. Under the banner of “Making the world safe for democracy,” her aggression has resulted in an amalgamation of other countries’ resources. Oil and minerals top the list.<br clear="none" style="max-width: 100%;" /><br clear="none" style="max-width: 100%;" />Far from protecting her own citizens’ property and economic interests, however, the domestic activities of the US increasingly reveal finely honed mechanisms resulting in asset seizure and transfer of wealth.In order to accomplish these aims, certain established checks and balances have been nullified or bought off.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Government regulatory agencies are thus high on capitalism’s “Enemies List.” Many of these regulatory agencies were rendered largely ineffective under former President George W. Bush. The EPA, the FTC and other agencies pledged to protect the public went under administrative chiefs who were unfriendly to regulation and believed that their best governance would be to subvert the regulatory agencies they they were appointed to oversee.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">As detailed by Thomas Frank, in his 2008 book, The Wrecking Crew, “… Fantastic misgovernment of the kind we saw during the Bush era was not an accident….It was made possible by the triumph of a particular philosophy of government, of a movement that understands the liberal state as a perversion and considers the market the ideal nexus of human society.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">There is a quasi- religious aspect to the worship of the free market. The free market, we are told, will inherently provide for the crème de la crème to rise to its proper altitude. The invisible hand of the free market will enable only the best products to succeed. And the devotees will tell you that this is in everyone’s best interest.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">However, consumerism has a dark side. Where everything is commodified, everything becomes gaged by its monetary value alone. Other considerations—truth, beauty and emotional attachment come to mind—may suffer under a bottom line valuation system.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">And this brings us to a recent manifestation of trading people for money—selling Granny to the nursing home. Cash for Granny is exactly what Sunrise Senior Living is offering. The verbiage is slightly spun in an effort to obscure its crassly predatory intent, but the facts are in evidence: Sunrise will pay you $2000 for a successful recommendation of a vulnerable and elderly individual to its nursing facility.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The commodification of human beings is sometimes termed “human trafficking.” Americans were shocked and dismayed back in 2008 when the judicial scandal known now as “Kids for Cash” unfolded in the news. Two Pennsylvania judges were charged and subsequently found guilty for accepting kickbacks when they ordered juvenile offenders into private detention facilities. As it turned out, the judges had struck a backroom deal with Robert Merckle, the builder of two Pennsylvania detention facilities and were being handsomely remunerated in remanding children, including first time offenders with such minimal violations as mocking a principal on Myspace or trespassing in a vacant building, into extended detention in Merckle’s facilities.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The scandal rocked the nation. After an investigation determined that the two judges received over $2.6 million from PA Child Care and its sister facility, Western PA Child Care, and after an initial plea agreement did not produce what a federal judge determined to be satisfactory conduct on the part of the two judges, a criminal trial ensued.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Presiding Judge Mark Ciavarella was subsequently convicted of racketeering and sentenced to 28 years in federal prison. Senior Judge Michael Conahan was convicted of racketeering conspiracy and sentenced to seventeen and a half years in prison.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">However, the business of judges adjudicating cases in gross self interest and contrary to statutory code continues. It is not only kickbacks from detention centers that constitute the pay off for judges fracturing the law and trafficking in the futures of those who trust in their impartiality.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">According to sources within the legal system, the mechanism exists to pay off amenable legal professionals with the income from nursing home beds. A judge or an attorney who throws a case can be rewarded with the income from an assigned bed. According to sources, this is fairly widespread.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Retired attorney Ken Ditkowsky recalls when he was offered such a sweetheart deal, several years back. Ditkowsky, states that he was approached at one juncture and offered payment for his legal services with a nursing home bed. He states that he declined the offer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Ditkowsky explains how this works:</span></div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 6px; max-width: 100%; padding-left: 16px;">

To maintain those profits I’ve found that United States currency is not the only currency used. In the course of my practice I had occasion to represent a lawyer who had interests in a number of nursing home ventures. Part of the fee he earned was paid in cash, but, a substantial portion was paid in nursing home beds. In the industry the beds had a fixed price and were traded very much like stock – except the nursing home operators participating in the industry created the market for the trading of the beds. The ownership of a bed entitled the owner to a limited partnership interest equal to a certain portion of income of the nursing home bed.</em></span></div>

<em style="max-width: 100%;"><span style="color: white;">“To clarify, if there were 350 beds in the facility the ownership conveyed was 1/350th of the net operation. The 1/350th was determined after deductions for all expenses including sinking funds, contingent costs, etc. One of the facilities that I examined the books of during litigation had the following breakdown: set price for a bed $3500. This price was a set price that could be ascertained by any of the participating operators. The bed paid a yearly dividend of 15%. This dividend was declared by the managing partners each year and was in some manner based upon profit or loss. The bed could be redeemed by the liquidation of the facility which usually occurred after a fixed number of years of operation.”</span></em></div>

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Bribery is not as easy as you may think. Sudden and suspiciously large deposits into a public official’s bank account may raise red flags. Accordingly, dirty politicos and hungry public servants look for new and innovative ways to launder their bribes. The big, fat envelope stuffed with about $300,000 in cash turned out to be an embarrassment for former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Mulroney, who was nailed for receiving the bundle, remained unrepentant. “I shouldn’t have taken it,” he declared. But he wouldn’t return the <a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2010/05/31/brian_mulroney_acted_inappropriately_in_accepting_cash_inquiry_finds" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">money</a>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Riverside County Presiding Judge Harold Hopp in Southern California seems to have hit on a pretty good deal. His wife, Sherry <a href="http://money.usnews.com/financial-advisors/advisor/sherry-west-3130315%20" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Lyn West</a>, runs a “wealth management” advisory office in Palm Desert, which is a satellite for one of the largest financial management companies in the <a href="http://lplfinancial.lpl.com/" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">US, LPL</a>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">According to the dictates of mandated financial disclosure law, Hopp should realistically cough up some evidence that West’s business is not servicing the attorneys and other officers of the court who appear in Riverside County Courthouse.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<strong style="max-width: 100%;"><span style="color: white;">Has he? Nope.</span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">West has facilitated her hubby in hiding some of his financial transactions. Previous reports detailed the issue of the use of home loans to launder bribes and payoffs. It’s a stunningly simple scam: Mr. X takes out a loan and Mr. Y pays it <a href="http://www.tulanelink.com/tulanelink/judicialbribes_10a.htm" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">back</a>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Hopp’s name dropped off his loan history back in 2006, following his appointment to the bench in 2005. According to the records, he still owns his personal residence along with West. But since 2006, all the loans appear in her name only.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">And quite a loan history it is! In the last ten years, over fifteen transactional documents show up on their loan history. In the time that Hopp has been on the bench, he has reconveyed six loans.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In response to concerns raised about West and their home loan history, in a fax sent to this reporter on September 24 Judge Hopp replied:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<em style="max-width: 100%;"><span style="color: white;">“I have no obligation to provide any personal financial information that you request, nor any inclination to do so.”</span></em></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Hopp has been caught repeatedly covering for unconstitutional decisions by judges in his courthouse, as well refusing to investigate judicial decisions which violate the California statutory code. Through these actions, Hopp’s judges have been sending vulnerable and dependent adults off to early graves and also have participated in sacking their estates.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">But for we mere mortals, who do not have access to such high tech ways of grabbing some extra dough, rest assured. You can always sell Granny to Sunrise.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Sunrise operates nursing homes in 29 states and the District of Columbia, as well as in Canada and the UK.</span></div>

In the 1970s and '80s, it was ideally used to convince land owners of the merits of accepting joining and general plan maps. Now it is being employed to persuade the public to accept outcome-based education and the licensing of all employees, via endorsements in the Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM) and Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM) programs, a.k.a. school-to-work.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">The goal of the Delphi technique is to lead a targeted group of people to a predetermined outcome, while giving the illusion of taking public input and under the pretext of being accountable to the public. For the Delphi to work, it is critical that the targeted group be kept away from knowledgeable people who could lead them away from the Delphier's predetermined outcome.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">One variation on the Delphi technique is to use a series of meetings. The attendees are often given a number or a colored card when they enter the room, to determine at which table they are to sit. The purpose of this is to break up the groups of potentially knowledgeable people who arrive together so that they will be sitting with strangers and therefore be subdued.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">Typically, at each table is a facilitator, someone who will know which way to help "steer" the group. Usually the people at each table are instructed to answer among themselves some of the questions and arrive at a table consensus. Someone is chosen to speak for the table, most of the time it is the person who has been secretly pre-briefed about the desired Delphi outcome. The table spokesperson is the only one allowed to address the podium and the others have little opportunity to address the podium or the crowd directly.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">Anyone knowledgeable enough, or brave enough, to speak out in opposition will not be welcomed. Often they are told from the podium, "We don't have time to discuss that now," or "We discussed that on another date," or “We can discuss that after the meeting.” They will attempt to quiet, isolate, and discredit dissenters. After attending the Delphi meeting, participants may feel uneasy that they are in disagreement with the apparent majority. The Delphi technique is often successful in bluffing people into submission. Don't let them succeed. Call their bluff.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">The Delphi technique often uses a series of surveys to bring about "consensus." The surveys are promoted as information gathering regarding the wishes of the targeted public, but in reality they are designed to manipulate the desired outcome. The survey will sometimes use a grading like, "agree all of the time," "agree most of the time," "agree some of the time," "agree not much," "agree never." Or, the survey grading will ask the respondents to use ratings like "most important," "moderately important," "least important."</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">The questions are typically "loaded" questions. An example is the question asked of Oregon teachers on a Delphi technique survey: "Do you agree or disagree that the following elements of H.B. 3565 [Oregon's Education Act for the 21st Century] will lead to improved student learning if implemented?" The survey listed such items for the teachers to agree or disagree with; "site councils," "increased accountability for school site and districts," "full funding for preschool programs to enable all students to enter school ready to learn," "extended school year," "certificate of initial mastery," etc. The question is patently "loaded." For example, site councils are not charged with improving student learning. Their function is to implement the state law, dole out professional development courses and money to selected teachers, and apply for grants from foundations and the federal government. For the teachers to answer, "agree" or "disagree", that the site councils will lead to improved student learning is misdirecting the respondent.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">The Delphi surveys serve to "educate" the people taking the survey. After the first survey is taken, the respondents are given an analysis and told that most people agreed or somewhat agreed on the predetermined outcome. Then usually they are given another survey and asked if they can be flexible and try to rethink the "few remaining" areas of disagreement. When the series of surveys are accomplished, the respondents are told that the majority of respondents achieved "consensus" with whatever direction the pollers wanted in the first place.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">These techniques were developed decades ago. The Rand Corporation has more recently been developing games that groups of business people, site council members, organizations, etc., can use to help "sell" people on collectivism, consensus vs. majority rule, etc.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;">Never, ever compromise when it comes to "right and wrong." With the right attitude you shouldn't care what people think, as long as you are standing up for what is right. Accept persecution gratefully.</span></div>

Was the Telfs-Buchen meeting really on par with or even more important than the G7? If so, then why did O’Leary and Eilertsen not see it that way? What did they talk about? What was its political impact? Did mainstream media coverage of the event improve over the previous year? And how did the representatives from the alternative media fair in their attempts to penetrate Bilderberg secrecy and security? In this three part article we will try to answer these questions, and more, to try to shed some more light on the 2015 Bilderberg meeting.</div>

Is Bilderberg Bigger than the G7?: A Question of Security</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With barely a week separating the two events, as well as being held in venues just 27km apart from each other, comparisons between the 2015 G7 Summit and Bilderberg Meeting were inevitable. The principal argument made by Bilderberg’s critics was that the timing of the two meetings was in itself an indicator of G7’s subordinate status, even though in 2015 the order was apparently reversed with the Bilderberg meeting following that of G7. Paul Joseph Watson at <a href="http://www.infowars.com/bilderberg-2015-to-focus-on-re-branding-authoritarianism/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Infowars</em></a> speculated on what this meant:</div>
<blockquote style="border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.965em; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 50px; position: relative; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
it’s unusual that Bilderberg is taking place after the G7 conference. It’s normally the other way around. This suggests that Bilderberg’s role in not only <a href="http://www.infowars.com/former-nato-secretary-general-admits-bilderberg-sets-global-policy/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">setting the consensus</a>, but making the final call on many of these issues will be pivotal this year.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Watson’s argument is interesting, but he provides no evidence that the timing of the G7 summits has ever been driven by Bilderberg. Moreover, Watson’s description of the timing of 2015’s meetings as “unusual”, while certainly true over the long-term—ever since the G7 meetings started in 1975, only four have preceded Bilderberg and in 1998 the meetings overlapped—omits mentioning that three of the last five Bilderberg meetings (2011, 2012 & 2015) came <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">after </em>the G7. So the significance of the timing and order of the two meetings is unclear, other than the preference of both Bilderberg and G7 meeting organisers to hold their meetings during late Spring and mid-Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.</div>

But for most anti-Bilderberg activists the only real evidence that Bilderberg was more significant than the G7 was the different reception the media received from the security forces protecting the two events.

To Berwick this suggested that Bilderberg was “<a href="https://www.dollarvigilante.com/blog/2015/06/11/g7-bilderberg-austria.html" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">much more important</a>” than the G7.

Given the reports on the heavy-handedness of the smaller Austrian security force left to protect Bilderberg after the G7 was concluded, such a view is to be expected. Austria not only deployed 2,100 police officers in the area for the two conferences—<a href="http://derstandard.at/2000017474689/Bilderberg-Treffen-und-G7-Gipfel-Ueber-7000-Identitaetsfeststellungen" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">with 1,700 in the main phase backed by 1,100 Army personnel</a>—but also enforced a 31-kilometer exclusion zone around the Interalpen, deployed helicopters armed <a href="https://tobefree.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/bilderberg-2015-security-helicopters-armed-with-machine-guns-special-low-altitude-radar-2100-extra-police-500-euro-fine-for-getting-anywhere-near/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">with machine guns</a>, and had their <a href="http://www.infowars.com/pictured-cobra-special-forces-on-top-of-bilderberg-hotel/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">elite COBRA</a> <a href="http://www.globaltruth.net/cobra-to-provide-security-at-bilderberg-2015/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">anti-terrorist force</a> on standby.

But the excesses of the Austrian authorities were hardly proof that Bilderberg was more important than the G7. The G7 security operation was actually much larger than Bilderberg: there were <a href="http://www.welt.de/regionales/bayern/article140970842/Polizisten-aus-Bayern-und-Tirol-waehrend-G7-Gipfel-im-Dialog.html" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">17,000 German security personnel deployed to protect the G7 compared to just 2,100 Austrian police for Bilderberg</a>. To protect the G7, the German authorities <a href="http://panteres.com/2015/05/06/g7-summit-at-schloss-elmau-police-fear-violence-escalation/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">established an exclusion or “safety zone”</a> around the Schloss-Elmau resort in the Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenckirchen in anticipation of protests from various radical groups.

But there were other factors at play that explain why the security measures at Telfs-Buchen were so severe. It is worth noting that some of those complaining about police harassment at Telfs-Buchen, also claimed the police had <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">not</em> been so oppressive at the previous two Bilderberg meetings.

[A]t the Watford conference in 2013, we had a relationship with the Hertfordshire constabulary that was every bit as open and tolerant as Will Smith’s marriage. In fact, our presence wasn’t just tolerated, it was actively supported. They had a team of liaison officers. They even gave us portable toilets, for goodness sake. The same in Copenhagen last year: the cops allowed us right up to the edge of the hotel. They made a genuine (if not always successful) effort to communicate with us, and meet our needs (<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/10/at-g7-we-journalists-pampered-bilderberg-we-harassed-by-police" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Guardian</em>, Jun. 10, 2015</a>).</div>

This suggests the problem may have originated in the overzealousness of the Austrian authorities rather than with the paranoia of the Bilderberg Steering Committee. This, in turn, seems to have been driven by the dire security threat assessments for the G7, such as a US State Department warning of the “<a href="http://freebeacon.com/national-security/state-leaders-face-high-terror-threat-at-g-7-summit/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">high terror threat</a>” from Al Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The German and Austrian authorities were also rather worried about anti-capitalist activists and anarchists. In the lead-up to the meetings, Günther Platter, the Governor of Tirol Province claimed there was a danger that <a href="http://tirol.orf.at/news/stories/2710947/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">violent protestors who had come for G7 would cross the German-Austrian border</a> to disrupt Bilderberg The Bavarian Interior Minister, Joachim Hermann also expressed concern about “<a href="https://www.tirol.gv.at/presse/meldungen/meldung/artikel/tirol-und-bayern-fuer-g7-und-bilderberg-geruestet/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">violent hooligans</a>” from each country crossing the border to oppose both meetings.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But the core reason for the outrage of Berwick, Skelton, and other alternative media representatives over their treatment outside the Interalpen was the simple fact that Bilderberg was closed to journalists. Without the benefits of the media accreditation they had at Schloss-Elmau, they finally noticed the security measures they had been exempt from at the G7. And given the warnings about Islamic terrorists and fears of violence from anti-capitalist activists, and the presence of the Austrian President, two European prime ministers and numerous government ministers and senior officials at Telfs-Buchen, it was unlikely the Austrians would risk relaxing those measures for Bilderberg. It is also worth remembering that, unless they are invited as participants, journalists performing their craft have always been excluded from Bilderberg. What this means is the claims that journalists were more aggressively kept out in 2015 was because Bilderberg is somehow more important than the G7 is a non-starter.</div>

Is Bilderberg Bigger than the G7?: A Question of Power</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Putting aside the issue of security, the other more important question remains: is the secretive Bilderberg conference actually more politically important than the G7? None of the activists and self-styled reporters making this claim bothered to put this contention to the test. Instead for most of these journalists, Bilderberg’s greater power than the G7 was regarded as a self-evident truth confirmed by the excessive security. But a closer look suggests this simplistic portrayal fails to address the substantive differences between the two conferences, and in particular, their respective political power, or what they aim to achieve.</div>

For one, there is a substantial gulf in terms of the levels of official representation at the two conferences, specifically from the G7 countries. At the Group of Seven Summit, held at <a href="https://www.g7germany.de/Content/EN/StatischeSeiten/G7_elmau_en/texte_en/2014-10-08-ankuendigung-gipfel-elmau_en.html" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">Schloss Elmau in Southern Germany on 7-8 June</a>, the countries of <a href="https://www.g7germany.de/Webs/G7/EN/G7-Gipfel_en/Teilnehmer_en/participant_node.html" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">Germany, France, Japan, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, and the US,</a> were all (of course) represented by their respective heads of government.

At Bilderberg, in contrast, the actual <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">level </em>of government representation was somewhat lower than at the G7 Summit, even though far more politicians were at the table. There was one current head of state, Austria’s Federal President, Heinz Fischer, and one former head of state, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands. And two prime ministers: Charles Michel of Belgium, and Mark Rutte of the Netherlands. In addition there were seven elected ministers or ministerial equivalents; five members of parliament; and nine appointed senior officials.

The presence of heads of state, prime ministers, ministers and other senior officials at Bilderberg is important, but the absence of key players from the G7 countries suggests that its ability to somehow overrule or direct these official processes may be limited. It is worth noting that at last year’s Bilderberg conference official G7 representation was not much better with only <a href="http://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/participants2014.html" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">Germany, Canada, Britain and France sending one or more ministers</a>. This sporadic attendance would seem to suggest that as an alternative summit to the G7, Bilderberg someway falls short, but this would be to misunderstand its role.</div>

While it is certainly true that Bilderberg, despite its larger and exalted roster of participants, is not the G7, and was never intended to function as the G7 summit meetings generally do, as photo opportunities, typically anaemic debates (because most of the important issues have already been resolved at the working-level by ministers and senior bureaucrats), and the issuing of profound but often meaningless declarations; it would be the height of naivety to assume it does not play an important role in shaping policy. Bilderberg’s purpose, as its co-founder Joseph Retinger once explained in a confidential paper to his fellow Bilderbergers, was not to be a “policy-making body” but to focus on the “smoothing over of difficulties and tendencies among countries and the finding of a common approach in the various fields…” (Retinger, <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Bilderberg Group</em>, August 1956, p.5). In short, one of its key roles – alongside developing a transnational elite network and facilitating informal diplomacy – is to develop a consensus with the people identified by Bilderberg as representing “the general opinion of the leaders of their country” (ibid, p.7).</div>

But this process of developing a “common approach” has never been a passive affair; certainly not from the point of view of its Steering Committee members. Being at its core a shaping and influencing operation, the Bilderberg Group has always sought out people they believed to be in a position to decisively influence public debates and/or had the ear of those in power; or even the leaders of tomorrow. As Retinger explained, Bilderberg sought out:</div>

This modus operandi was again quite evident at the 2015 meeting where the ranks of the invitees included all segments of what David Rothkopf once described as the “Superclass”, those few people able to “regularly influence the lives of millions of people in multiple countries worldwide” (<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Superclass</em>, p.xiv). As with previous year’s meetings, the participants in 2015 comprised: the owners, CEOs and other senior manager of major banks, and corporations, media magnates; political leaders; senior officials from national governments and international organisations; but also a selection for former officials, turned think-tank presidents, consultants, or board members; leading academics; and journalists.

Looking closely at the participant list and it is not hard to find amongst these sectors people of influence; individuals whose great wealth, or lengthy resumes and widespread business and political connections, put them in a position to influence policy-makers and public debates.

But even within this gathering there is a hierarchy. When in 1990 UK Liberal Democrat Party leader Paddy Ashdown went to that year’s Bilderberg meeting in La Toja, Spain, he noted in his diary that Bilderberg had been described to him as: “‘fifty people who run the world and twenty hangers on’. No doubt which category I am in!” (<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Ashdown Diaries</em>, 1988-1997, p.42). The existence of a distinctive Bilderberg hierarchy has been observed and commented on by some academic analysts. Björn Wendt, for example, a Professor of Sociology at the University of Münster in Germany and author of the book <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Die Bilderberg-Gruppe</em> (2015), described this structure in an interview last year:</div>

This inner core of the institution (Steering Committee and Advisory Group), I call [the] Bilderberg Group. Approximately 200 people were previously part of this select group. These members of the Bilderberg Group are therefore indistinguishable from those people who are sometimes invited only once to a conference. So you could say: <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">There is an inner circle (the Bilderberg Group) and an outer circle (the conference participants)</em>.

It is the Steering Committee, which meets at various times throughout the year, which decides the agenda and whom to invite as speakers and participants. It has the ultimate say over the goals and objectives of each meeting, in particular what views it wishes to promote or to challenge. It provides the leadership for the Bilderberg Group and ultimately has responsibility for determining what the political goals are for each meeting. The first-time participants are brought mainly to either present or participate in debates on specialised topics; but ultimately to ensure whatever messages emanate from those discussions can percolate into both the public sphere and realm of the policy-makers.</div>

Of course, Bilderberg’s public position is that its conferences are inherently benign affairs, a chance to learn, in some ways akin to an exercise in consciousness-raising for the elite. “I don’t think you’ll get much consensus at Bilderberg”, former British Prime Minister and Bilderberg Chairman Lord Home declared at a rare post-meeting press conference in 1978 at Princeton, “It doesn’t aim to do that. We’re just here to hear these people who know what they’re talking about” (<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Odessa American</em>, Apr. 24, 1978). This was the same comforting message conveyed by Bilderberg’s spokesman – who declined to be named – to the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Washington Times</em>(<a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/11/bilderberg-group-meets-amid-heavy-security-news-bl/?page=all" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">Jun. 11, 2015</a>) ahead of the Telfs-Buchen meeting:</div>

“There is no desired outcome, no minutes are taken, and no report is written,” he said. “Furthermore, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued. The conference serves one main goal: to foster discussions on predefined topics. Bilderberg is about gaining insights, fostering understanding and facilitating exchanges of views about the major issues facing the world. With this in mind, the main aim is to broaden the participants’ range of viewpoints, to gain insights and exchange views.”</div>

But the Bilderberg Group’s modus operandi is more carefully calibrated than these soothing words imply: the evidence suggests that speakers and participants alike are selected by the Steering Committee to ensure certain views take centre-stage, and the right people are being engaged and exposed to these ideas to facilitate the dissemination into both the media and government decision-making process the resulting consensus or “common approach” – but without attribution to Bilderberg. This crucial objective of propagating Bilderberg’s deliberations, anonymously, was once spelled out in the confidential minutes for the second Bilderberg meeting, held in Barbizon, France in 1955:</div>
<blockquote style="border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.965em; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 50px; position: relative; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

Participants in the Bilderberg and Barbizon Conferences would use, as much as possible, the various meetings and conferences which they attend in order <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">to put forward ideas and suggestions made at Bilderberg</em> and Barbizon. It was hoped that <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">particular use would be made of the press by all concerned for this purpose</em>(Bilderberg Meetings, <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Barbizon Conference, March 18th-20th</em>, 1955, p.56; emphasis added).</div>

That this policy remains in place was conceded in 2010 by former NATO Secretary-General Willy Claes, who told a Belgian radio station that Bilderberg participants are expected to use the “synthesis” prepared by the rapporteur “<a href="http://www.zonnewind.be/bilderberg/2010/media-schade-beperken.shtml" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">in the environments in which they have influence [<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">in de milieus waarin ze invloed hebben</em></a>]”.

Keeping the proceedings of each Bilderberg meeting under a tight veil of secrecy, specifically who said what and the specifics of the agenda, is thus central to making this process work. This is partially to encourage participants to be candid during the discussions, but it is also intended to conceal from the public the shaping and influencing that drives each session. It hides from the public both the process through which a “common approach” is reached and that Bilderberg is the origin of the consensus or the insights that come into the public sphere. Nevertheless, despite their deliberate silence and shunning of media coverage, there is good evidence, for instance, that the <a href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/2015/10/04/the-bilderberg-connection-did-the-bilderberg-group-send-nixon-to-china/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #457a8a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;">Bilderbergers</a> played a central, though unacknowledged, role in shaping US elite and public opinion towards having a more favourable view of Communist China, setting the scene for President Nixon’s moves to restore relations with Beijing. This was done directly through the Bilderberg meetings, where the existing US policy was challenged by the Europeans; and indirectly, with prominent Bilderberg Steering Committee members driving public debates in the US towards a new relationship with Beijing.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This secrecy also means the political power of Bilderberg is more difficult to assess as most of its deliberations remain confidential; it provides few details of its agenda and has not issued a summary since 1954. In contrast, the G7’s progress in meeting its objectives are easier to track due to its practice of issuing detailed communiques and declarations. Bilderberg may well have a more significant impact than the G7 on transatlantic policies; in some respects it may turn out to be more important, but it is not something the Bilderberg Steering Committee will ever admit to (even though some of its members sometimes speak out of turn). However, as we shall see in Part 2, it is possible to penetrate the veil of secrecy and obtain some insights into how the 2015 Bilderberg meeting has sought to shape elite and public opinion, and come a little further in attempting to answer the question of whether Bilderberg is more important if not more effective than the Group of Seven.</div>

<span style="color: white;"><br />The center of psychic awareness in the human mind. (It is associated with the sixth chakra).<br /><br />What is it? It’s a biological stargate of immense power and unlimited navigation.<br /><br /><br />Some call it the <strong>3rd eye</strong> or the mind's eye, the pineal gland was the last endocrine gland to have it's functions discovered as it is located deep at the center of the brain, almost hidden away like it were a secret from which comes the word secretion, which is what the pineal gland does. It secretes the hormone melatonin which affects our wake / sleep patterns, photoperiodic (seasonal / circadian) functions and also activates the dormant codons in our DNA often referred to as 'Junk DNA'. Melatonin affects our biorhythms and the aging process ...<br /><br />The human brain also produces DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) a naturally occurring tryptamine and potent psychedelic, found also in most plants ... Dr. Rick Strassman wrote a book called "DMT - The Spirit Molecule" which describes the effects of DMT and how it is closely related to human neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin affecting primarily our dream state. DMT creates a dream state which is like slipping into a different realm(s), other parallel realities ...<br /><br /><strong>Groundbreaking new scientific research</strong> proving that the pineal gland is lined with cells that function just like the rods and cones in the retina of the eye.<br />Electrically, the pineal gland is wired into the brain just like the eye, via a “phototransduction cascade.” Some scientists have concluded there may be photons releasing inside the pineal gland that are picked up much like the eye, but they don’t understand how this could happen.<br />We do know the pineal gland is filled with a watery fluid that has tiny crystals floating around in it, including calcite and, quite possibly, DMT.<br />When DMT is synthesized in a laboratory and chipped out of its container, it emits massive bursts of colored light in a “piezochromatic” effect. This suggests that the crystals in the pineal gland could be expanding and contracting, and releasing visible photons, in a manner not unlike the function of a crystal radio.<br /><br />In recent years, findings in neurochemistry and anthropology have given greater credence to the folklore which states that the pineal gland is the ‘third eye’, source of ’second sight’, ’seat of the soul’, or psychic centre within the brain (ajna chakra).<br />Recent neurochemical research has identified a class of compounds called beta-carbolines which appear to be endogenously produced in the pineal gland, most interest centering on the 6-methoxy-tetrahydrobetacarboline (GMeOTHBC), now being called pinoline. Beta-carbolines are found in the pineal gland in quantities equivalent to melatonin, the major pineal neurohormone, from which they may be synthesized. Beta-carbolines are neuromodulators in that they play a role in the fine tuning of the action of neurotransmitters (Buckholtz, 1980).<br />This neurochemical evidence concerning the pineal gland links directly with anthropologists’ reports on the usage of a vine of the genus Banisteriopsis by South American tribes in the Amazon area. The Indians use the vine specifically for psychic purposes: to induce out-of-body visions, to assist in healing, for clairvoyance and for precognition. There are dozens of psychoactive plants in the Amazon basin, yet ALL of the tribes scattered over this vast area use this vine for psi effects. Chemical analysis of the vine reveals the presence of various harmala alkaloids, these being chemically very closely related to the pinoline found in the pineal gland.<br />The presence of pinoline, and also what we now know of the various functions of melatonin, in the pineal gland, appear to link directly with, and make sense of, many experimental findings in parapsychology.<br /><br /><br /><strong>THE PINEAL GLAND </strong><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: white;"><br /><br />In general the pineal is a very active organ, having the second highest blood flow after the kidneys and equal in volume to the pituitary. It has the highest absorption of phosphorus in the whole body and the second highest absorption of iodine, after the thyroid. No other part of the brain contains so much serotonin or is capable of making melatonin. A unique anatomical feature is that it is an unpaired midline organ in the brain which, alone of all equivalent organs, has resisted encroachment by the corpus callosum (Wiener, 1968; Quay, 1974). Whilst being right in the center of the brain, it is actually outside the blood-brain barrier and so is theoretically not part of the brain!<br /><br /><br />It is innervated solely by the autonomie nervous system. It shows extreme variability in size, form and internal structure from one individual to the next (Wurtman, 1979). There seems to be considerable functional connection between the pineal and the pituitary, in that their actions tend to be antagonistic, the pineal being inhibitory in relation to the pituitary. When LSD level is measured in the brain, it turns out that it concentrates mostly in the pineal and pituitary glands; secondarily in the limbic system structures such as the hippocampus, amygdala and fornix; and thirdly in the hypothalamus. (Wiener, 1968).<br /><br /><br /><strong>GEOMAGNETISM AND THE PINEAL </strong><br /><br />Just recently there has been considerable interest in the effect of the earth’s magnetic field on living organisms, particularly as a direction finder. This interest seems to be spreading into much more esoteric fields, parapsychology being one of them. Recent research in California (Adams, 1985; Persinger, 1986) has suggested:<br />(a) that remote-viewing experiments are more successful when the geomagnetic field is relatively quiet; and<br />(b) taking selected criterion cases from Stevenson, Phantasms of the Living, and Fate, that spontaneous psi impressions were more frequent on days of quiet geomagnetic activity. This relationship did not hold for precognition.<br />Tart (1988) did two psi studies which he analyzed for possible correlation with geomagnetic effects. Again, as with Adams (1985) lower values of GMF activity on days preceding more successful psi performance was found, though not at a statistically significant level. One of the studies showed more successful psi on days of quiet geomagnetic activity, but not the other.<br />Persinger & Schaut (1988) found that telepathic experiences occurred on days when geomagnetic activity was less than when precognitive or postmortem psi occurred, and lower than average monthly or annual geomagnetic activity.<br />Dowsers rod movements also seem to be linked with changes in the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field (Williamson, 1987). Research into UFO’s, ley lines and ancient stone circles suggests that these also appear to be connected with geomagnetic anomaly (Devereux, 1982).<br />Barr et al. (1983) report that: ‘Pineal and autonomie cells respond to weak magnetic fields, with the former responding to a weak (earth strength) magnetic field by a significant change in electrical activity.’ Then in 1984 the following was published (Cremer-Bartels et al., 1984): ‘The general biological role ofmelatonin may be interpreted as translator of environmental conditions . . . The earth’s magnetic field (EMF) also undergoes diurnal and seasonal variations . . . Wever (1986) showed that shielding the EMF desynchronised circadian rhythms significantly even when light perception was not excluded . . . Welker et al. (1983) found that artificial magnetic fields in the strength of the EMF affected the melatonin biosynthesis in rat pineals at night . . . Cremer-Bartels et al. (1983) found that in quails an artificial magnetic field affects melatonin biosynthesis of the pineal and the retina is affected. They found a significant decrease in HIOMT activity in dead chicken retinas in response to a decreased magnetic field. With living quail and dead chicks they found a significant decrease in HIOMT activity with INCREASED magnetic field. NAT increases concomitantly with exposure to increased EMF, and decreases with decreased EMF. Therefore, NAT alone is important for synchronizing the pineal with the EMF’.<br />They conclude: ‘The determinations of the enzymes involved in the melatonin biosynthesis clearly revealed that 50 per cent increased or decreased EMF affects the melatonin biosynthesis in birds in vitro and in vivo . . . the natural EMF variations may be suggested to be the Zeitgeber of diurnal oscillations of NAT in the pineal gland and retina.’<br /><br /><br /><strong>Tuning in and turning on </strong><br /><br />When the pineal gland is stimulated geomagnetically, it produces chemicals that are similar to these plant hallucinogens, which help to alter consciousness. Other studies show that psychedelic drugs alter levels of melatonin and serotonin, resulting, in some cases, in psychosis.<br />So, how could the earth’s geomagnetic fluctuations affect these brain chemicals? Researchers have found that electromagnetic and geomagnetic fields strongly affect the production and activity of the enzyme hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT). It is this enzyme that is centrally involved in the production of melatonin and possibly 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT). Any changes in the the magnetic field can produce changes in this enzyme’s activity.<br />Studies in animals have also shown that any strong change in the ambient magnetic field—whether increased or decreased—will inhibit production of HIOMT.<br />Other research shows that serotonin N-acetyltransferase, the enzyme involved in the production of melatonin, is strongly affected by electromagnetic fields.<br />If this is the case, says Roney-Dougal, any strong change in the earth’s ambient magnetic field would produce a rush of natural hallucinogens in our bodies, enabling us to be more psychically receptive.<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: white;"><br /><br /><strong>The pineal gland</strong> is also activated by Light, and it controls the various bio-rhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that determines our aging process. When it awakens, one feels a pressure at the base of the brain.<br /><br />Meditation, Visualization Yoga, and all forms of Out of Body travel, open the Third Eye and allow you to 'see' beyond the physical. As you practice, you will get it faster and more frequently. Your psychic abilities will increase as well as your dream time messages/experiences. You may first begin with your eyes closed, but as you practice, you will be able to open your third eye by focusing your attention and receiving messages with your physical eyes open. Planetary vibration/frequency is accelerating exponentially, allowing souls to peer into other realms far more easily than in the past. Activation is highly associated with the <strong>'Rising of the Serpent' - Kundalini!</strong><br /><br />Astral Travel ~ Beginning with the withdrawal of the senses and the physical consciousness, the consciousness is centered in the region of the pineal gland. The perceptive faculty and the point of realization, are centralized in the area between the middle of the forehead and the pineal gland. The trick is to visualize, very intently, the subtle body... escaping through the trap door of the brain. Note: A "popping sound" may occur at the time separation of the astral body, in the area of the pineal gland.<br /><br />Visualization exercises, are the first step, in directing the energies in our inner systems, to activate the 'third eye'. The magnetic field is created around the pineal gland, by focusing the mind on the midway point, between the pineal gland and the pituitary body. The creative imagination visualizes something, and the thought energy of the mind gives life and direction to this form.<br /><br /><br /><strong>THE PINEAL GLAND and THE SACRED MUSHROOM </strong><br /><br />Believe it or not, there is a direct link of the pineal gland to the legends of Christmas, Santa Claus, Jesus and, once again, to the Vatican, and it all has to do with the magical powers of an amazing plant known as the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. This particular species of mushroom is a strikingly beautiful, brilliant red in color with white polka dots on its cap, and a long white stem which features a skirt or veil about halfway down. Quite astonishingly, the image of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom can be found in religious and spiritual iconography throughout many ancient civilizations, just as the pine cone/pineal gland symbolism. The Amanita Muscaria mushroom contains a very high concentration of DMT and is considered to be the most naturally potent forms to be found in all of nature.<br /><br /><strong>Foods that Feed The Pineal Gland </strong><br /><br />Drink Sunlight everyday! ~Sun Gazing Traditions are based predominately on pineal gland activation~<br /><br />Seaweed vegetables that are sun-dried by the sun contain high amounts of vitamin D, many vitamins in the B-vitamin family and iodine. Those vegetables include and are not limited to kombu, arame, wakame, dulse, nori, etc.<br /><br />Dark leafy greens like our kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, bok choy, collard greens etc are extremely nourishing for the pineal gland as this gland absorbs the properties of the green color of the vegetables and properly distributes them to the appropriate systems of the body so that the body is thoroughly nourished.<br />Foods that produce serotonin are almonds, bananas, hot peppers, rice, potatoes, and black-eyed peas and when consumed can also nourish and feed the pineal gland as well.<br /><br />Alfalfa sprouts, Parsley, Wood Betony - stimulates the pineal gland.<br /><br />Gotu Kola - feeds the entire brain as well as the glands<br /><br />Wheat germ, olive oil, melons, and pineapple juice help to stimulate the pineal gland.<br /><br /><strong>A raw Vegan diet is most desirable. </strong><br /><br />Drink filtered water<br /><br />Mug Wort tea<br /><br />Burning Frankincense and sage can also promote activism, along with mediation.<br /><br /><span class="fbUnderline">*Avoid fluoride at all costs. </span><br /><br /><br />With our reality grid raising planetary frequency, people working out there issues, developing psychic abilities becomes easier in time. This is the Master Plan to awaken sleeping consciousness. Time to empower the spirit and connect with the Oneness in all creation !<br /><br />Happy Traveling!<br /><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><i>— Arthur Crow © 2012</i></span></span><div style="clear: both;">

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The public release of the document comes just as the TPPA is due to be signed in Auckland, New Zealand on February 4 by visiting politicians from countries around the Pacific.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Mr Taurua is currently meeting with other Maori elders at Te Tii Marae in preparation for a visit by John Key, prime minister of New Zealand, and other government officials on Waitangi Day, February 6, after the scheduled signing.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">He has previously stated that Mr Key would not be allowed onto the marae if the controversial trade agreement was signed, although a trustee for the marae stated on February 2 that Mr Key would be allowed onto the land.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">It is thought that the notice sent to the partner countries of the TPPA is being discussed at the marae in anticipation of the visit, as the document asks the Queen to stand in opposition to the agreement with Mr Taurua<em style="max-width: 100%;"> “and those other Rangatira o Te Whakaminenga o Ngā Hapū o Nu Tireni”</em> – referring to the other chiefs gathered at the marae –<em style="max-width: 100%;"> that “agree to … my position”.</em></span></div>

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The document says that he<em style="max-width: 100%;"> “requests and requires”</em> the Queen to intervene and act as<em style="max-width: 100%;"> “Protector”</em> of New Zealand’s sovereignty from <em style="max-width: 100%;">“attempts on the sovereignty of our Independent State”</em> by<em style="max-width: 100%;"> “overseas corporate interests”</em>. At least one other elder has already countersigned the document.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The language of the document echoes that of the Declaration of Independence, which was signed by Mr Taurua’s ancestor, Pareha of Ngati Rehia. He says that another ancestor of his, Te Kemara, was a signatory of the Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi 1840.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">By RICHARD SMOLEY</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="color: white;">It is one of the most familiar and reassuring lines in scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd.” But when you think about it, the metaphor is a disturbing one.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="color: white;">It’s true that a shepherd looks after his sheep. But he also shears them and kills them and eats them. Does the God we adore act totally with our best interests at heart, or are we a species of livestock that he uses for his own ends?</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="color: white;">Voices have occasionally uttered doubt, not about the existence of the gods, but about their beneficence. The ancient Gnostics said that the real god of this world was the Demiurge, a second-order being who mistook himself for the true God. The spiritual teacher G.I. Gurdjieff told a parable about a lazy shepherd who got tired of having his sheep run off, so he hypnotised them into thinking they were men or lions. Then they no longer ran off but stayed around so that he could shear or kill them as he liked. (Again we encounter a shepherd, this one more explicitly malevolent.)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="color: white;">Gurdjieff does not say who this shepherd is. His main point is that man, in his state of waking sleep, is at the mercy of forces that may well not have his best interests at heart – forces that will extract energy from him regardless of his wishes.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="color: white;">This parable is from an early period of Gurdjieff’s teaching; in his later period, epitomised in his magnum opus <em>All and Everything: Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson,</em> he portrayed the universe in a more beneficent light. But there are plenty of others who have cast doubts on the motives of the spiritual powers that control our lives.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Synarchy: The Hidden Hand Behind the European Union</span></h1>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;"><a href="http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/EU-Poster.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" class="auxiliary float left" height="344" src="http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/EU-Poster.jpg" style="clear: both; display: block; float: left; font-size: 0.75em; height: auto; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 20px 0.5em auto; max-width: 100%;" title="EU Poster" width="250" /></a>By LYNN PICKNETT & CLIVE PRINCE<span style="max-width: 100%;">—</span></span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="max-width: 100%;"><span style="color: white;">While questions remain about the existence of a single global elite with an agenda that goes beyond simply keeping itself very, very rich, there are certainly groups that <em style="max-width: 100%;">want</em> to run the world for quite other reasons. And with the increasing globalisation of political and economic institutions, it has become easier for a relatively small group to inveigle itself into quite staggeringly influential positions. One cabal in particular reveals – alarmingly – what a small group, driven by a fanatical belief system, can achieve from the shadows. And writing as we are in the United Kingdom, this group is on our doorstep, and has been for over a century. And although perhaps small in number, its reach is <em style="max-width: 100%;">big.</em></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;"><em style="max-width: 100%;"></em>Our research into this subject – detailed in <em style="max-width: 100%;">The Stargate Conspiracy</em> (1999) and <em style="max-width: 100%;">The Sion Revelation</em> (2006) – demonstrated that every major step in the development of the European Union from a simple trading body to a borderline superstate can be traced back to a very specific ideology, which upholds rule by an elite from behind the scenes. But this isn’t just about politics. Astonishingly, this ideology is also about mysticism and magic.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">This shadowy politico-occult movement is <em style="max-width: 100%;">synarchy</em>, which was developed by the Frenchman Joseph Alexandre Saint-Yves, the Marquis d’Alveydre, in opposition to the rise of anarchy in the second half of the nineteenth century. To him the ideal synarchist state would be a rigid social hierarchy topped by an elite that is predestined to rule – absolutely at odds with the then emerging concepts of democracy, individual liberty and social mobility.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Central to Saint-Yves was the creation of a united Europe, a call for which appears on the first page of his first book on synarchy, <em style="max-width: 100%;">Keys to the East</em> (1877). He believed that his perfectly balanced society reflected deep cosmic laws, with which his elite perfectly resonated. They are also directly guided by the powers that rule the universe – as he believed himself to be.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Saint-Yves claimed that in the ancient past an advanced civilisation – based, of course, on synarchic principles – had governed the whole world. This golden age lasted from 7500 to 4000 BCE, before imploding due to a global catastrophe, remembered in legends such as Atlantis. Since then the occult powers-that-be have periodically reintroduced the revelation of synarchy, sending or inspiring figures such as Moses and Jesus – and, naturally, Saint-Yves himself.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">He adopted the idea, popular in nineteenth-century esoteric and theosophical circles, that spiritually advanced masters – to him preservers of the synarchic revelation – existed in Agartha, a hidden realm in the Himalayas. He confided in his closest associates that he had been visited by its emissaries.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Another significant aspect of his version of history was that clandestine societies had transmitted the secret of synarchy throughout the ages. It comes as no surprise to discover that his ‘spiritual fathers of synarchy’ were the usual suspects – the Knights Templar.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">For a time in the 1880s and 90s Saint-Yves’ ideas were seriously discussed in political circles in France and elsewhere in Europe. In 1886 he formed the Syndicate of the Professional and Economic Press to promote synarchy to political and business leaders. Several members of the French Parliament joined, including government minister François Césaire Demahy – later a founder of the influential nationalist movement Action Française – and Paul Deschanel, who became President of France in 1920. Saint-Yves was made a chévalier of the Légion d’honneur in 1893.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In the end, however, Saint-Yves’ followers realised things would have to change radically. After his death in 1909, and particularly in the uncertain aftermath of the First World War, they knew they could never achieve their ambitions through conventional means – and turned to stealth. They decided on inveigling their members into key positions in political and economic institutions intending on creating, in the words of Richard F. Kuisel, a specialist in twentieth-century French political history, “a world government by an initiated elite.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">1</sup></em> Synarchy came to stand for ‘rule by secret society’, which in practice makes it difficult to distinguish between card-carrying synarchists and those merely under their influence.</span></div>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Towards Europe’s ‘United States’</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The most high-profile late nineteenth-century devotee of Saint-Yves was the physician Gérard Encausse (‘Papus’), a leading light among French esoteric societies. He blended the teachings of his ‘spiritual master’, the eighteenth century occult philosopher Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, and his ‘intellectual master’ Saint-Yves. Encausse founded the Martinist Order, into which he absorbed synarchist principles – so that, unusually, it had political ambitions, including the formation of ‘a United States of Europe’. Delusions of grandeur, one might have thought…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Encausse’s death in 1916 resulted in a schism in the Martinist Order over its involvement in politics. The activists, under Victor Blanchard – head of the secretariat of the Chamber of Deputies of the French Parliament – formed the breakaway Martinist and Synarchic Order, which established the Synarchic Central Committee in 1922, designed to pull in promising young civil servants and “younger members of great business families.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">2</sup></em> The Committee soon became the Synarchic Empire Movement, or MSE (Mouvement Synarchique d’Empire) in 1930, under dedicated firebrands Jeanne Canudo and Vivien Postel du Mas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Canudo is best remembered today as an energetic campaigner for European unity and founder of several youth organisations in the 1930s, select members of which were inducted into the esoteric synarchist orders that she led together with Postel du Mas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">An important witness to these events was the celebrated Parisian <em style="max-width: 100%;">litterateur</em>Maurice Girodias (publisher of scandalous sensations such as <em style="max-width: 100%;">The Story of O</em>, <em style="max-width: 100%;">Lolita</em>, Henry Miller’s <em style="max-width: 100%;">Sexus</em> and William S. Burrough’s <em style="max-width: 100%;">The Naked Lunch</em>). As a teenager in the 1930s he was involved both with Canudo’s European groups and an esoteric society that met at Postel du Mas’ luxurious apartment to hear the ‘secret masters’ speaking through teenage trance medium Laurette. Girodias said of Postel du Mas’ magical <em style="max-width: 100%;">salons</em>: “I saw at his feet men of science, company directors, and bankers.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">3</sup></em></span></div>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Beyond Top Secret</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The MSE produced an important but beyond Top Secret document – its very existence unknown to outsiders until 1941 – entitled <em style="max-width: 100%;">The Synarchist Revolutionary Pact for the French Empire</em>, usually known simply as the Synarchist Pact. The exact authorship is uncertain but the main candidates are Postel du Mas and the businessman Jean Coutrot. It was only as a result of Coutrot’s apparent suicide under the Nazi Occupation, when copies were found among his possessions, that anyone knew the Pact existed.<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">4</sup></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">This highly scary document set out a programme for “invisible revolution” or “revolution from above”: that is, taking over a state from within by infiltrating into high office. The first step was to take control of France, before creating the “European Union” – then, tomorrow…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Saint-Yves did not invent the concept of a federal Europe. For example, Victor Hugo is credited with first using the term ‘United States of Europe’, although – probably not coincidentally – he was a close friend of Saint-Yves in the French ex-pat community in the Channel Islands in the 1860s.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">But it became a serious political force when the Pan-European movement was established in 1923 by the Austrian Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, described by Otto von Habsburg – in rather telling terms – as the “guide and prophet” of a united Europe. He famously won over Winston Churchill, who began espousing European unity from 1930 and wrote a foreword to the Count’s 1953 book <em style="max-width: 100%;">An Idea Conquers the World</em>. The Count was a committed believer that cosmic forces shape events, giving him at least the profile of a synarchist. (Sadly we have no information about Churchill’s views on the more occult aspects.) But there is evidence of a closer connection with the French synarchists.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In their 1968 <em style="max-width: 100%;">Synarchy and Power</em>, André Ulmann and Henri Azeau interviewed one of the inter-war members of the MSE, who claimed it had “inspired the action of Coudenhove-Kalergi and his pan-Europeanism.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">5</sup></em> Coudenhove-Kalergi also lent his support to pro-Europe groups formed by the MSE’s Jeanne Canudo.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Maurice Girodias’ involvement with the synarchists began as a 16-year-old when, at a Theosophical Society lecture in 1935, he was intrigued by a group in flamboyant Templar garb led by Postel du Mas and Canudo. He was told they were “schismatic theosophists with political designs, and they are linked to Count Coudenhove-Kalergi… who is a champion of the United States of Europe… Their aim is to launch a pan-European political party and to institute in the entire world, commencing with Europe, a society obedient to a spiritualist idea.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">6</sup></em> In conversation with Girodias Postel du Mas named Coudenhove-Kalergi as one of the two major promoters of his and Canudo’s plans.</span></div>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The Hood and the Illuminati</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In the tumultuous aftermath of the First World War, like the rest of Europe France became polarised between communism and fascism. The mid-1930s saw the creation of several clandestine far-right groups, both civilian and military, which were integrated into a single network under the control of a three-man Superior Council. Although it gave itself no particular name, the press dubbed it the Cagoule – or the sinister-sounding ‘Hood’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Indeed, the <em style="max-width: 100%;">Chicago Tribune</em>’s correspondent in Paris, William Shirer, summed up the Cagoule as “deliberately terrorist, resorting to murder and dynamiting, and its aim was to overthrow the Republic and set up an authoritarian régime on the model of the Fascist state of Mussolini.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">7</sup></em> Italy supplied the Cagoule with funds and arms and, in return, the Cagoule assassinated anti-fascist Italian refugees in Paris.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The Cagoule was led by chévalier of the Légion d’honneur Eugène Deloncle, with the other Council members being Dr Henri Martin and Colonel Georges Groussard, who oversaw cabals within the military. It was funded by wealthy industrialists, including Eugène Schueller, founder of L’Oréal – who obviously thought synarchy was “worth it” – in whose company’s headquarters the group met.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Although most of the Cagoule were simply anti-communist extremists, who had probably never heard of synarchy, there’s no doubt that there was a strong connection between the MSE and Superior Council, particularly Deloncle. The connection was acknowledged by Shirer<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">8</sup></em> and by Richard Kuisel, who writes: “Strangely enough, although the Cagoule was an archenemy of Freemasonry, it imitated Masonic ritual, symbolism, and method of recruitment. The head of the Cagoule, Eugène Deloncle, even likened its recruiting procedures to the ‘chain method’ of the <em style="max-width: 100%;">Illuminati</em>.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">9</sup> </em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Basically, through the Cagoule, the synarchists had taken over terrorist groups for their own ends, planning to precipitate a state of emergency that would enable its chosen man to step in as a strong leader to restore order “in the interests of public safety.” And their chosen man was Marshal Philippe Pétain.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In September 1937 a series of bomb explosions rocked Paris, intended to kick-start a wave of armed attacks to spread chaos and confusion. But a lucky break led the police to caches of arms and ammunition around the city and Deloncle was arrested.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">An official report pointed to the MSE, noting “affiliates of the Synarchic Movement were very numerous and already in place within, and at the head of, the major organs of the state, ready to take charge.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">10</sup></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">It is hard to overestimate the influence of the synarchists. They were – and no doubt still are – hardly a bunch of nobodies. A major player in this story was none other than François Mitterrand, later France’s longest-serving President. Although he was to reinvent himself as a socialist, before and during the Second World War he was very much of the extreme right.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Even at the time it was rumoured that Mitterrand was a member of the Cagoule. But more sensationally, Henri Martin’s family claimed he had actually planted the 1937 bombs.<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">11</sup></em> But while no firm evidence exists to support Mitterrand being a <em style="max-width: 100%;">cagoulard</em>, and he strenuously denied it when confronted with his shady past in the 1990s, he certainly had the connections, besides the relevant political – and indeed, esoteric – views.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Mitterrand believed in rule by an elite – preferably an elite of one: himself. Although from a relatively modest background, he always had an unshakeable belief in his personal superiority, even seeing significance in his family’s origins in the town of Bourges, where a field called the Champs de Mitterrand marks the exact centre of France. ‘Mitterrand’ means ‘middle of the land’.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">When the ultra-ambitious Mitterrand finally achieved power he notoriously governed through his ‘clan’ of friends and relatives, famously remarking that he needed only “fifty well-placed friends to run the country.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">12</sup></em> And he began building the clan during those pre-war days, around leading <em style="max-width: 100%;">cagoulards</em>, particularly those close to Deloncle.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Mitterrand was a close friend of conspirator in the assassination of the Italian anti-fascist Rosselli brothers, Jean Bouyver, and of François Méténier, Deloncle’s assistant who was sentenced to 20 years for his part in the 1937 bombings. But the closest family connection was with Deloncle: Mitterrand’s brother Robert married Deloncle’s sister-in-law just before the outbreak of war. It is inconceivable that Mitterrand never met the Cagoule’s mastermind and top synarchist. Also, as we will see, like Deloncle Mitterrand was deeply fascinated by esoteric and mystical matters.</span></div>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Secrets of the Hitler-friendly State</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Although the Cagoule’s plans to create a state of emergency to bring Pétain to power failed, of course this was achieved three years later by an even greater crisis. In June 1940 France fell to Nazi Germany, Pétain emerging as the leader of the new Hitler-friendly French State, based in Vichy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Almost immediately after France’s ignominious surrender some claimed elements in the military had connived in the defeat, believing that jumping into bed with the Nazis would enable Pétain to achieve his cherished national reorganisation.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">So it is all the more disturbing that one of Ulmann and Azeau’s ex-MSE informants told them that a senior figure behind the group and “one of the mentors” of the young men being groomed for future greatness in the 1920s and 30s was none other than General Maxime Weygand.<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">13</sup></em> No doubt not coincidentally married to Saint-Yves’ great-niece, he was Supreme Commander of French and British forces at the outbreak of the Second World War, and in June 1940 it was he who advised the French government to ask Hitler for terms.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">French researcher Roger Mennevée argued that Vichy represented the climax of the first phase of the plan outlined in the Synarchist Pact – taking power in France in preparation to extend it to Europe – using the Germans to do what the Cagoule had failed to three years earlier.<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">14</sup></em> Ulmann and Azeau note that, coincidence or not, Vichy was organised precisely on synarchist lines.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Both the Occupation and Vichy were seen as an opportunity by the synarchists. In Paris, Postel du Mas and Canudo positively welcomed the German overlords. One investigator into synarchy notes of one of her pro-Europe organisations, “the majority were found, after 1940, either in the corridors of power in Vichy, or in the collaborationist circles in Paris.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">15</sup></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In Vichy, unsurprisingly, former <em style="max-width: 100%;">cagoulards</em> rose to the top, particularly in the dreaded Milice, Vichy’s equivalent of the Gestapo. Deloncle was freed from prison – and formed a political party to build a ‘new Europe’, while Henri Martin and Colonel Groussard enjoyed high-level roles in the intelligence and surveillance network. Historian John Hellman states bluntly that former <em style="max-width: 100%;">cagoulards</em> were behind the “manipulation, control, and orientation of Pétainist France.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">16</sup></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Although a one-to-one connection between the Cagoule and the synarchs may sometimes be something of a leap, the latter were undoubtedly active in Vichy. Shirer declares there is “no doubt” that synarchists “infiltrated the highest posts in business and finance and in the government bureaucracy.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">17</sup></em> Certainly many of the young hopefuls groomed by the MSE rose to Vichy’s upper echelons – including Yves Bouthillier, Minister of Finance from 1940 to 1942.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">What about Mitterrand? Imprisoned in June 1940, he escaped from the Occupied territory in December 1941 to the Vichy zone. He was welcomed by ex-<em style="max-width: 100%;">cagoulards</em> who got him various government jobs (his main sponsor was the father-in-law of both his brother and Deloncle) and was even awarded Vichy’s highest honour for services to the state, the Francisque Gallique, in 1943.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Soon afterwards Mitterrand hastily changed sides, joining the Resistance and making his way to London to ally himself with the Free French – the only episode allowed to be remembered after the war. He wasn’t the only Vichyite to jump ship. Many French synarchists began cosying up to the Allies, as it was increasingly obvious that the tide had turned against Hitler. Henri Martin joined the American covert organisation, the OSS, and Deloncle established contact with the British SOE, although he was killed in a gun battle with the Gestapo in January 1944.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In November 1943 a group of Free French analysts drew up a report explicitly examining synarchists in Vichy and, lately, in the Resistance, acknowledging the reality of synarchy and its considerable influence.<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">18</sup></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Unbelievably, Mitterrand emerged from the conflict a Resistance hero and a left-wing politician, his connections with Vichy and his far-right background assigned to the collective amnesia that conveniently gripped France after the war.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">But as he clearly had <em style="max-width: 100%;">cagoulard</em> sympathies and connections, he must have shared their aims – despite his later bluster to the contrary. And with his interests, associations and chameleon-like changing of political colours in order to achieve his goals he certainly looks like the perfect synarchist. But most suspicious by far are his extraordinary efforts to create the European Union…</span></div>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The EU: An Alternative History</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The ‘European project’ began on 9 May 1950 with French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman’s announcement that France and West Germany had agreed to co-ordinate their coal and steel industries. Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg took up his offer to join in, leading seven years later to the Treaty of Rome that established the European Economic Community (EEC).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Schuman was only the front man. The prime mover was actually Jean Monnet, the most influential businessman and economist in post-war Europe. Period. The massive international power base he had built up before and during the war gave him immense political influence while keeping out of the public eye. It was Monnet who had secured the Allies’ backing for General de Gaulle against Roosevelt’s opposition, and in return, de Gaulle gave him responsibility for rebuilding the French economy and industry – a position he used to achieve his great dream, laying the foundations for the EEC.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The ‘Schuman Declaration’ was the result of intrigue, trickery and subterfuge by Monnet,<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">19</sup></em> his most audacious trick being to get French and West German governments to set up a <em style="max-width: 100%;">supranational</em> organisation to co-ordinate their industries without realising exactly what they had signed up to. This radical new concept, of an organisation with control over individual nations’ industries but with its own, outside autonomy, laid the foundation for all that came after. Unsurprisingly, Monnet became president of the new body, called – with a chillingly Orwellian tone – the High Authority. Shuman became the first president of the European Parliament in 1958.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">What was really going on? A rather large clue lies in the fact that Monnet was another pre-war protégé of the Synarchist Empire Movement. In 1936, Vivien Postel du Mas told Maurice Girodias that, alongside Coudenhove-Kalergi, Monnet was an influential promoter of the synarchist agenda. He certainly publicly supported Canudo’s pro-Europe groups. And one of Ulmann and Azeau’s ex-MSE informants went so far as to describe Monnet as a “true synarch… whose membership of the movement was never in doubt for the true initiates.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">20</sup></em> (Note the occult-sounding “initiates.”)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Schuman, too, had pre-war synarchist connections, although not as direct: he had worked closely on political reform in France and European integration with the professor of law Louis Le Fur, a synarchy activist.</span></div>
<h2 style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 1.125em; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Power for Power’s Sake</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The Single European Act of 1986, which established free trade and movement between EEC states, was the culmination of the process set in motion by the Schuman Declaration. Over the years the EEC had come to include the UK and Ireland, among others, but the original idea had gone as far as it could.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">It was Mitterrand who went beyond the original concept by proposing not just closer economic, but also <em style="max-width: 100%;">political</em>, union. The 1992 European Union (‘Maastricht’) Treaty not only turned the EEC into the EU, but for the first time gave the European Parliament powers over member nations (until then it had only an advisory role). Was this the beginning of a European superstate? It also agreed on a single currency, establishing the ‘eurozone’ and the European Central Bank – now terrifyingly beleaguered. All this was Mitterrand’s initiative (aided by German Chancellor Helmut Kohl), including changing the name to the ‘European Union’. Straight out of the Synarchist Pact.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Mitterrand made his second bid for the presidency in 1981 – but unlike the first sixteen years before, backed by Jean Monnet, this one was successful. He held the office for two seven-year terms, only being prevented from a third term by the onset of the cancer of which he was to die in 1996. His presidency is remembered for its corruption and the blatant nepotism of his ‘clan’ being rewarded with positions of power.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Political historians accept that Mitterrand was purely interested in power for power’s sake, and for the enrichment of himself and his clan, with no real political agenda or vision – <em style="max-width: 100%;">except</em> when it came to the ‘European project’. There, he was driven by the desire to see a fully integrated Europe, which he declared “takes precedence over everything.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">But was Mitterrand a card-carrying synarchist? He moved in the right circles, through his pre-war associations with the Cagoule’s leadership. His pursuit of closer European integration certainly fits the synarchists’ core objective. And his interest in esoteric matters also fits the profile – which tends to be downplayed by Mitterrand’s biographers, although it is explored in Nicolas Bonnal’s <em style="max-width: 100%;">Mitterrand, the Great Initiate</em> (2001). He employed astrologers – even for major foreign policy decisions – believed in reincarnation, and was interested in UFOs.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Even more intriguing to Dan Brown fans – and indeed, our own – is the fact that he had a special veneration for Mary Magdalene, focused on her cult centre at Vézelay. And much has been made of him visiting the celebrated ‘village of mystery’ of Rennes-le-Château (actually only the most high-profile of several visits) during his 1981 election campaign.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Nicknamed ‘the Sphinx’, Mitterrand was also fascinated by ancient civilisations: as President he oversaw a great accumulation of Egyptian antiquities by French museums and universities, believing there was some connection between that civilisation and ancient France. Saint-Yves would have agreed.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">As President, Mitterrand also spent some 30 billion francs on a major programme of public building, mostly in Paris. Like all egomaniacs he was driven to leave his solid, tangible mark on history. But apparently, there was more to it than that. His monuments’ esoteric symbolism is acknowledged even by mainstream writers, such as Marie Delarue in her 1999 study, tellingly entitled <em style="max-width: 100%;">A Republican Pharaoh</em>. She refers to the Parisian buildings as “a journey for initiates,” noting they “seem to relate more to personal destiny and François Mitterrand’s pronounced taste for hermeticism and the Sacred Science, than to the politics of socialist governments.”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">21</sup></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">The most famous of his monuments is the great glass pyramid outside the Louvre, unveiled in 1993 to mark the bicentenary of the French Revolution, and clearly reflecting a link between ancient Egypt and France. But the most imposing public work is the Grande Arche de la Fraternité in the La Défence area of Paris, completed in 1989 and designed by the Danish architect Otto von Spreckelsen. Bizarrely – and rather ambitiously – it represents a three-dimensional ‘shadow’ of a hyperdimensional cube that he called a “<em style="max-width: 100%;">porte cosmique</em>”: ‘cosmic gateway’ or perhaps even ‘stargate’…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">But “the most beautiful, most esoteric and least known of the Mitterrandian Great Works”<em style="max-width: 100%;"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 1; max-width: 100%;">22</sup></em> – and his personal favourite – is the 1989 Monument to the Rights of Man and the Citizen in the Parc du Champs-de-Mars, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. Modelled on an Egyptian funerary temple and aligned to the Sun on the summer solstice, it is literally covered in esoteric symbolism, much of it obviously Masonic. After Mitterrand’s death his staff revealed that he often visited it at night, silently meditating.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">In both action and belief Mitterrand certainly fits the profile of the synarchist. But remember that synarchy’s elite believed itself to be in direct contact with powerful non-human intelligences who effectively pulled the strings of those in power. Or perhaps Mitterrand was simply under the synarchist elite.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">So…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Nobody can pretend the journey from the Schuman Declaration to today’s EU has been untroubled. It has been repeatedly obstructed by those opposed to a federal Europe, and diverted by vested interests – political, economic and even criminal – seeking to turn it to their advantage. The whole thing simply can’t have been planned and directed exclusively by the synarchist elite. But on the other hand, it is undeniable that things have turned out how Saint-Yves and his followers would have wanted. And given that all the major steps along the way were the initiative of individuals with direct synarchist connections, it would equally be wrong to dismiss their influence on the EU’s creation.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Of course, Saint-Yves’ vision did not end with the creation of the EU and the eurozone. They merely marked the beginning of the ultimate synarchist dream of a true United States of Europe. Building on those foundations, and bringing about even closer integration, depends on overcoming the individual nations’ interests, which has always presented a problem – unless the situation changes drastically.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">And that is precisely what is happening right now with the major crisis in the eurozone, which has brought the EU to the brink of make-or-break. Senior figures – including the European Commission President José Manuel Barroso – have declared that the only solution to the crisis and preventing it happening again is an even greater level of economic and political integration. The same conclusion has been reached by the likes of the powerful financier George Soros, who has called for a European central authority with greater powers over the member states. On the other hand, some believe that the crisis will be the downfall of the EU. And synarchists – no matter who or where they are – simply can’t let that happen.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">To Put Bankers Behind Bars, Spanish Citizens Take the 1% to Court</span></h1>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; max-width: 100%;">
<span style="color: white;">Elites regularly profit with impunity from financial corruption. This is clearly demonstrated by the <a href="https://commonspace.scot/articles/1676/hsbc-in-turmoil-whistleblower-accuses-media-and-government-of-covering-up-high-street-fraud" style="max-width: 100%; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">numerous billion-dollar financial scandals</a> in recent years, including LIBOR rate fixing, tax evasion, commodity price fixing and financial mis-selling schemes. The political power of finance and its revolving door into government makes many bankers seem above the law. But this immunity is not unbreakable, as demonstrated by the wave of Spanish citizens now leading an anti-corruption charge unlike any that has come before.</span></div>
