QUOTEgATE Part 02

Illuminati, New World Order, Global Government (they're all the same thing)

...an extension of power that has been ruling our lives in one way or another for thousands of years

Don't despair though, this post is not going to be a comprehensive account of the historical facts or otherwise surrounding The Great Conspiracy, the Illuminati or any terms mentioned in the title. Information and research on this subject is immense, freely available and would be in the best interests of anyone whatsoever to at least familiarise themselves with these notions. Implied connotations are far too serious to ignore and even simplistic imagination dictates absolute possibility of potential harm.

As alternative offering, this post attempts to create an emotional, intelligence based awareness of main characters mentioned throughout these conspiratorial references, using quotations / question and will briefly touch few key points which are critical to acceptance as issue or least, concern.

...it's all about power, and potential or possibility

Ever since I can remember there has been a single, surreptitious and quite frightening political theory circulating throughout western society. Terms in the title above refer to the same thing; a sophisticated plan for one world government instigated by the largest banks and corporations on the planet. It is supposed that tactics employed in pursuit of this goal use above all else "perseverance" as primary weapon.

...doesn't sound so bad; perseverance? so what! until you realise what it actually means

This supposed tactic of "perseverance" translates logically and easily into more recognisable language when placed in correct context as "stealth" and "infiltration". Terms like stealth and infiltration when applied to military usage seem almost appropriate given current conditioning however when conceptually applied to government and the potential to interfere with, obstruct or impede ordinary life...there is no hypothesis more frightening.

Actual meaning implied by use of the term in this context is "the substitution and overthrow of governments and entire countries by stealth and infiltration"; a war of attrition, without instant fulfilment of plans, piece by piece, slow and steady wins the race.

...now that's a little scary, don't you think? considering that those evidently involved had billions/trillions before any of us were conceived; worth thinking about? Way my logic works is this...it's the only way it could happen, is very simple to start implementing and requires no direct military force; only money and cunning. Note that intelligence was not mentioned? Cunning is like intelligence...but bent, twisted, misshaped and seeks only to better itself. Intelligence is opposite.

Join your own dots but perhaps try this...

QUESTION-tIME: let the imagination flow

Next time you're walking through a large city, look up. "Look up" at the buildings surrounding you. I won't do it for you (HAHA! ...my imagination needs no work) but "look" at all facets of scale, materials, structure, shape, decoration, function, etc. What would it take to a.) have the opportunity and b.) financial ability to produce? Ponder infinite dollars involved in construction and look especially at older buildings, created by corporations and companies never heard of, before birth.

Contemplate the power these individuals or groups wielded, in that time. Use imagination, allow malicious intent. Are we surrounded by good? What have they really given us? Is love and kindness represented everywhere? Is it something else? What do we see? What "could" be going on now?

Consider the diverse interests of many of the largest corporations today, and then consider that some corporations are hundreds and hundreds of years old. Corporations like J.P. Morgan for instance; with enough cash to buy entire countries (post on World Bank coming) and bail out governments. Surprise, surprise, J.P. Morgan is a primary mention for almost every reference on the subject. Mull it over, especially of famous corporations, like Coca-Cola who currently produce over 2800 beverage products. What else do they own? Could they own? Food? Arms? Munitions? Consider the realistic goal of business, for profit only and then ponder on power billions/trillions of dollars provide with no rules, but to make more. What checks and balances are there for those with insurmountable dollars? What judge or officer cannot be bought? What laws really apply to the power mongers?

...then think of the power these individuals or groups could really wield, now, if they multiplied the money over the centuries?

Do we think this money just disappears over time? Money that made all those buildings (not about the buildings, merely to evoke imagination) vanished into thin air? No individuals attached? No other savings or bonds; all into the building? Those presently with an abundance of cash, don't cling madly to its opulent whisper, plotting and planning ever more? Investments, shares, stock markets, blah? Do we not know corporate nature at all, after this time? "Look" around. Is it "good"? Concrete and plastics, nature's replacement?

..."could" there actually be a grand conspiracy in place? One that's been slowly eroding society for hundreds of years through an inability to control greed and power? could there? could?

Fear though, unlike contemporaries in this field of writing is not the objective communication here but rather evocation of awareness leading to greater choices and understanding. It's about questioning everything. If answers independently arrived at verifiy what you're being told or think you know, so be it. If they don't...what then? ...and what does your gut say, always consider that, always.

Perhaps knowing, we would choose to do things differently. Maybe we'd consume differently and given "all" the information, we might choose a simpler more spiritual life after all, despite what's being pushed. Are we really so afraid of confronting even potential truths, locked in self-centred oblivious consumption? Conditioned each day to be more so via mass media advertising? What can you buy today? Think of yourself for tomorrow. Where do you want to go on your holidays? Look at my new jeans, like my new hairstyle, check my new phone. Fact is, too much information is concealed from us by governments and corporations...or governments on behalf of corporations which is more precise.

...big whoopdee on the scale of things isn't it? Me, me, me, me, me! ...it's about, "us". Look up into the sky at night, at the stars (if you can see them?)

Who first discovered/wrote about this ultimate theory of power and corruption? Did impetus come from various presidential speeches or quotes like those below? Who first named it a conspiracy? Was it government? An innocent patriot? Who had/has the most to gain? Is it worth finding out? Researching for ourselves? Not taking my word for it?

End QUESTIONtIME:

...it goes something like this

"On May 1, 1776, in Bavaria, Dr. Adam Weishaupt, a professor of Canon Law at Ingolstadt University and a former Jesuit, formed a secret society called the Order of the Illuminati within the existing Masonic lodges of Germany." ...blah, blah, blah

Pasted from <http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Illuminati.htm>

...but cut to chase, the bit we probably have missed, overlooked

• "Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller, Memoirs, page 405

...but do we get that bit, he says he did it? Head of the family all conspiracy theorists state is basically a modern day equivalent of the antichrist, the continuum of The Great Conspiracy, said he did it.

Ok, here...secret? cabal? working against? against the best interests? conspiring? conspiring with others? others around the world? building global political and economic structure? one world? building a global structure, one world, with other internationalists around the world? conspiring? charge? guilty? guilty? guilty? proud??? proud of conspiring against the peoples of all nations???????????? lol, WTF???

...not sure what's up with these people but I'm so glad I don't have it. greed factor infinitus maximus? gene slippage?

What's the argument again, against this conspiracy theory? With the evidence all around us, a quote above from most accused confessing exactly what all the great conspiracy theories have attempted to convey? "I stand guilty"? Do we still fail to believe? Or take these people (conspiracy nuts?) seriously...at all? Did we ever really stop to think that maybe, just maybe, it's not a "conspiracy theory" and that indeed the term itself was manufactured by those with power in effort to covert truth? is there potential, for that?

It's not that hard, anytime we want...to stop buying crap and remember the bond we once shared as humans, the bond we presently only enjoy with family and close friends. Another way to live or love, not involving inanimate objects perhaps or not so much or in a different way, not wasteful or polluting, in harmony with the environment? Love, compassion, that stuff? There are heaps of ideas out there, positive, kind, compassionate ones. I bet we all have them, we all know it.

...sorry, stupid idea! HEEEE!

The warnings are numerous, by political figures and statesman from all walks. Convictions of conscience, though seldom beginning that way. There are also numerous overt statements given by those involved or connected to this subject.

QUOTEgATE gets into full swing...

• "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson
  

• "The system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction... I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity... is but swindling futurity on a large scale."- Thomas Jefferson

• "The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." -New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922

• "We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." - Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member and Rothschild banker, James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950

• "Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." - US President James A. Garfield

• "US President John F Kennedy in a speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, whose own slaying was littered with intrigue and covered up at the highest levels of government."- <http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Hollywood_911.htm>

• "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. " - Kennedy, 27 April 196?

• "The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."-Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets

• "Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." - Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference in Evians, France, 1991

• "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all." - Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, Time Magazine, July 20th, l992

• "Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed." - Sara Brady, Chairman, Handgun Control, to Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, The National Educator, January 1994, Page 3.

• "In a small Swiss city sits an international organization so obscure and secretive....Control of the institution, the Bank for International Settlements, lies with some of the world's most powerful and least visible men: the heads of 32 central banks, officials able to shift billions of dollars and alter the course of economies at the stroke of a pen." - Keith Bradsher of the New York Times, August 5, 1995

• "The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups." - Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.

• "We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." - Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Foreign Affairs

...have to finish this bit with Huxley

• "There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." - Aldous Huxley, Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961

...fluoride in drinking water anyone? ecstasy? cocaine? (come on, stop drooling over the last two...ahem!) etc, etc. just think about them in relation to the Huxley quote.

Note: Researched these quotes briefly 09/04/09, with a view to doing this post...wondering what I could have come up with if I actually tried? Scary thought.

...now let's see the kind of people we're really dealing with; we can get a sense using quotations from the men themselves and others who knew them

• "Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, the (Rothschild) brothers conducted important transactions on behalf of the governments of England, France, Prussia, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Naples, Portugal, Brazil, various German states and smaller countries. They were the personal bankers of many of the crowned heads of Europe. They made large investments, through agents, in markets as distant as the United States, India, Cuba and Australia." - G. Edward Griffin

• "Lord Rothschild had access to all manner of leaders and experts. He was responsible only to the Prime Minister and answerable to neither the electorate nor the civil service chiefs." - Derek Wilson

...have a listen to the old man (Australian term for father), maxed in the power tripping department or what?

• "God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God, to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience." - [John D. Rockefeller]

...his conscience? hmmm...

• "I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure." - [John D. Rockefeller]

• "Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in." - [John D. Rockefeller]

• "I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts." - [John D. Rockefeller]

• "I have ways of making money that you know nothing of." - [John D. Rockefeller]

• "The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets." - [John D. Rockefeller]

• "The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun." - [John D. Rockefeller]

...starting to build up an image? how about a few from the son?

• "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." - David Rockefeller

• "We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years... It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Bilderberg Meeting, June 1991 Baden, Germany (in case you missed QUOTEgATE Part 01)

• "Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Maos leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history." - David Rockefeller, statement in 1973 about Mao Tse-tung: (NY Times 8-10-73)

...WHAT THE???

I'll leave it there for now, certain we're starting to get the picture that nothing, no TV, not a new car or dishwasher is worth the risk associated with not being aware in matters such as these. Potential has amazement and harm as consequences...good to be aware of consequence. Why are there F.E.M.A camps being built throughout the United States? Why has this man Obama turned around and done everything he said he wouldn't and worse despite being the first African American president in history? What's with RFID chips? Do we really want to be controlled...better, more efficiently? A whole lot more to get us thinking coming up in Part 03. Know your life, make sure "you" know, a politician won't tell us. It goes against their religion...to not lie.

Rothschild's next? The original and the best? Family evidently responsible for putting the modern day plan into action and passing it down through Rockefeller...and then to Obama the puppet. Oooooh!!! Stay tuned for QUOTEgATE Part 03, the final chapter (but not of us).

Don't be afraid, be aware. Nothing compares to truth, love, compassion and kindness...nothing.

bs detection in overdrive
Note: this post contains adult language, most notably the word "shit"


"Men often stumble on the Truth, but usually dust themselves off & hurry away..."
- [Winston Churchill]

...there's a saying in Australia,
"if it looks like shit and smells like shit, then it must be shit"

I believe some parts of the world use a similar expression substituting "rat" however it's not correct for my intent. It's a bad rap for the rat in fact. I've had (pet) rats; they're intelligent, extremely loving and affectionate.

Once upon a time bull shit detection was our thing. "That's bullshit maaate!" being possibly the most common colloquialism we have, apart from "faaark maaaaate!" Like the rest of the world however we're subject to 24/7 mass propaganda from government, media and corporations preaching fear and consumerism while informing us continually of "how nice and safe we'll all be...if we just follow the rules". With the amount of confusion and uncertainty permeating through society bullshit detection is becoming a lost art.

...but it's all bull shit mate! We've been duped, swindled, hog tied and we're being dragged behind the virtual horse

For the most part, BS-detection mechanisms seem to target everyday interactions with other people and not politicians (which they should) who, given the current crop, are the most blatant bullshit artists of all time.

Know this before we go on though...I'm not working for a government, not affiliated with any corporation in any way, shape or form, not a Socialist, Democrat, Liberal or Green, not a cop, a secret agent and not working for McDonalds or Coke (...and "I would" stand before a congressional hearing and testify to that fact - why did they get away with it? Bush/Cheney/911), but you know what?

...shit, still smells like shit

We're so busy being entertained...constrained. Modern day heroes are plentiful. Kicking dead cow innards full of air between big sticks makes crowds roar every Sunday for half the year...how would we know "anything" was going on?

...mainstream media? ...HA!!!

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. "An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers."

- U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

...surprise, surprise. most reference material on "the great conspiracy theory" suggest JPMorgan interests as prime movers and instigators of a worldwide treachery; ninety two years! ...and there's this one

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years... It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

- David Rockefeller, Bilderberg Meeting, June 1991 Baden, Germany


...not for me it isn't %$#$@*!!

Surprise??? Yet again most of the reference material involving "the Illuminati, a New World Order, Global Government (latest, most inoffensive term given it) and the great conspiracy theory" all mention Rockefeller at or near the top of this modern day chain of deception. Essentially what these two quotes are saying to us is that "there has been no unbiased media coverage on significant events since 1915 and in fact media coverage has been able to be manipulated for other gain since that time".

...can't see or understand the significance of these quotes? ...still? with what is going on everywhere around us? the violence? crime? disassociation from each other? ridiculous, repressive laws? concepts of consumerism where power and possession have value over people and peace? excessive fear?

Ever seen "Wag The Dog"? What if I were to suggest infinitely more sinister things than any suspected moon landing had been staged? How about this one? Remember the famous video scene after the US entered Iraq, of Iraqis tearing down the statue of Saddam in victorious street celebration involving US forces and locals.

...the mass of people tearing the statue down? Remember?

It was all staged. The company involved is "The Rendon Group"; a public relations agency under contract from the pentagon that specialises in propaganda. It was featured in an Australian Cutting Edge documentary produced by SBS, the first and only time this info has been made public to my knowledge.

...there are entire corporations specialising in this sort of propaganda and disinformation. they get paid as much for their silence as for any work undertaken. when does mainstream media ever show things such as this? do we believe this is the only example? or that example is rife if we choose to look?

watch the clip -------------------------------------------------->

...what is the implication of this information? ...to our lives?

Note: was going to include all relevant links to suggested viewing below, however in actuality what I am speaking about deals primarily with concepts of independent thought therefore is potentially in the best interests of all readers to research this information themselves, as I have done (although I do plan to add all links eventually anyway ...good game's a fast game). Most of the work is available freely online although some may require a little perseverance to find. It's quite an amazing journey; so good, to know your life ...feels, empowering ...closer to love? don't be afraid, be aware/awake.

Screams from a distant audience, trained to believe everything is alright ..."that's bullshit mate!" That's where you hear it most now days, as objection to truth when it's right in front of our eyes. "That's bullshit mate!" has become a slightly twisted justification for inaction of our fears.

...but you know what? all this isn't bullshit, what we believe is

NETWORK: “You have meddled Mr Beale”

corporate cosmology

...such a great monologue

NETWORK 1976 (film)

Transcript: "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature Mr Beale and I won't have it!

Is that clear?

Do you think you've merely stopped a business deal? That is not the case. The Arabs have taken millions of dollars out of this country and now they must put it back. It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity, it is ecological balance.

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations, there are no peoples, there are no Russians, there are no Arabs, there are no third worlds, there is no west. There is only one holistic system of systems. One vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petrol dollars, electro dollars, multi dollars, reichmarks, ren, roubles, pounds and shekles.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life, on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic...and sub atomic ...and galactic structure of things today. And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature and you will atone. Am I getting through to you Mr Beale?

You get up on, your little 21" screen...and howl...about America and democracy. There is no America, there is no democracy. There is only, IBM and ITT, and AT&T...and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide...and Exxon. Those are the missions of the world today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Carl Marks? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions and compute the price cost probabilities of their transactions and investments just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies Mr Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the, immutable bylaws of business.

The world is a business Mr Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime...and our children will live Mr Beale, to see that...perfect, world...in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit. In which all men will share of stock. All necessities, provided...all anxieties tranquilised...all boredom, amused."

famous WARNINGS: prophetic gloom (part one)

Aldous Huxley on "A Brave New World"

Throughout history there have been many prominent scholars and public figures who heralded uncannily accurate warnings of critical issues to confront the future of all humanity. We generally regard these people as among some of the most amazing figures history ever churned out however when they speak truth we cork our ears, close our eyes, hum loudly...and turn the other way.

...perhaps we should listen to just one of them?

Continually failing to heed these warnings we march blindly onwards into a more fearful, hurtful, hateful, violent and unaware society which "hasn't" gotten fundamentally better despite considerable (supposed) efforts and intention to the contrary. These warnings, both explicit and subtle are found everywhere from interviews and death bed speeches to entire books and are numerous enough to fill their own novel (hint, hint...for anyone with more inclination).

Presented first is Aldous Huxley whose prophetic writing "A Brave New World" recognises, extends and enhances concepts of totalitarian servitude put forth by the famous writer George Orwell in his novel 1984. Huxley actually wrote a letter to Orwell which expresses essential difference of concept between the two works...that of increased efficiency. He felt his novel much closer to the reality of our future enslavement and stated openly that Orwell's methods weren't efficient enough and for that reason would not be considered "useful".

*************************

October 21st, 1949

Dear Mr Orwell,

The nightmare of 1984 is destined to modulate into A Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency.

Thank you once again for the book.

Yours sincerely

Aldous Huxley

**************************

...wonder if he actually realised it works as a guide book also??? He supposedly wrote it as a warning, but is it used as reference for tyranny?

Note currently looking for an interview with Huxley where he says "A Brave New Word was based on what was happening at the time", I've seen it/got it somewhere, quite interesting...a post or three away.

1934 (i think) - Aldous Huxley - interview about "A Brave New World"

Transcript: "what I may call the message is a Brave New World, but it is possible...uh, to make people, contented with their servitude. I think this can be done.
