Television Replaces God in Our Lives

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:49:29 +0000

by Cornelius B
(for henrymakow.com)

Tremendous effort has been expended to perfect television and make it cheap and widely available. Why?

We know that television modifies the brain waves, affecting mainly the beta waves, which are the energetic support of the brain's activities such as processes of thought, analysis and decision.

In the works of Emery and of Krugman, we find that once the TV set is on, the waves of the brain slow down until the alpha waves dominate the brain activity. The more the TV set stays on, the more the brain waves slow down (Jerry Mander, Four Arguments for the Elimination of the Television, NY, 1978).

Dr. Eric Peper and Dr. Thomas Mulholand came to the same conclusion. The left brain hemisphere is massively inhibited, thus reducing critical capacity ( i.e. a reasoned opinion on any matter especially involving a judgment of its value, truth, righteousness, beauty.) (Martin Large, Out of the Box, http://www.allianceforchildhood.org.uk/home/reports-documents/the-future-of-childhood/chapter-8/).

Thus, television is a "super-tool" for "mind grafts" and social engineering.

ORWELL

In Orwell's "1984," a TV screen dominates the center of every home and public place. With the TV screen, the "all seeing eye" of "Big Brother"controls thoughts and sentiments.

Television is no longer a means of entertainment, but an ideological weapon, for the manipulation of the consciousnesses. The citizens of this world created by "Big Brother", spends most of his time with an omnipresent television. They go to sleep with the television, wake up with the television, and the daily life is programmed by "Big Brother". This is a form of totalitarian governance, a form of intellectual dictatorship.

This is the consequence of the elimination of God from the daily life as spiritual essence and behavioral guide. A God inspired spirituality springs as the water springs from the underground, so from the depths of the spirituality springs the spiritual life of man, to nourish human society and keep it in touch with the natural order of things.

Once human society is cut off from this source, it is on the road to corruption, decadence and unavoidable death. Here is where "THEY" want to bring us and our children.

For what purpose? They believe they are "the Messiah" and they can replace God and take total possession of the whole earth and everything it contains. This pretension can be generated only by a sick corrupted and degenerated mind. They pretend even, as Nietzsche, one of their front men, pretended "Gott is tot" - God is dead.

GOD LIVES

Yes, indeed, God is dead in their spirits. But God is an indestructible spiritual force which fills the whole Universe. He represents the universal laws that a healthy spirit sees everywhere around us, in the macrocosm and the microcosm, with all the wonders and marvels, including the marvel of life.

For a social healthy life, there is just one solution: keep in touch with the Divinity in you, with God almighty, and let the fools deceive themselves until their total destruction. Their Craft is just madness in the eyes of God, and their fate is the fate of Sodom.

Stay away from their poisons, from their false prophets and ideologies, and teach your family the truth. Protect them from their paranoia and their fatal fate. (As a matter of fact, Nietzsche ended his life in total mental alienation while he was only 55-years-old).

Go and work for a healthy world, starting with your own spiritual, moral, and physical health. Don't be passive, but active, just as Jesus was all his life.

A good example is when he turned over the tables of the money changers in the Temple, and chased them out with a whip. Don't just wait for "miracles" and Divine intervention, or the intervention of someone else to make this world a better place. Change the world in a positive way using your own life as example.

Stay wise!

And don't forget - "In the beginning was the Word", then, spread the Word!

Aldous Huxley's Dictatorship by Seduction

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:13:27 +0000

by Cornelius B
(for henrymakow.com)

Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" (1931) was not so much science fiction or cautionary tale, as prophecy based on the author's insider knowledge of Illuminati plans. We have the privilege of living in a world that is starting to morph into Huxley's.

The novel describes a "mild dictatorship" implemented by a "magical governance". This is a dictatorship implemented through the excitement of the human senses, through the narcosis of the conscience, through effects of seduction, a seduction mixed with the subversion of the intimate space.

For these achievements, the Soma, a drug (psychotropic drugs) and television are essential. TV is the most efficient means for brainwashing and controlling society.

Television has a "magical effect", one of excitement, of induction of sensations of pleasure and inflaming the imagination. TV is not imposed by force on people; it is desired by the population for its fascination, of seduction, for the cathartic experience much of a shamanic type, for the powerful excitement and narcosis produced.

In Huxley's "Brave New World" everyone is encouraged to watch television and consume the ubiquitous drug Soma. Soma is a hallucinogenic that replicates religious experiences, eliminating God and the need for religion. Soma and television are complementary.

SEX

In "Brave New World" recreational sex is also an integral part of society. According to "The World State" (New World Order Government), sex is a social activity, not a means of reproduction, and sexual activity, including homosexuality, is encouraged from early childhood. The fertile women are conditioned to use birth control.

The maxim "everyone belongs to everyone else" is repeated often, and the idea of a "family" is considered pornographic. Love and emotional relationships are rendered obsolete because they are no longer needed. Marriage, natural birth, parenthood, and pregnancy are considered too obscene to be mentioned in casual conversation. Thus, "society has advanced to a new level of sexual comprehension".

In this "satanic idealization" of the human future, totally cut-off from God and healthy human nature, the population of the world is "unified" under "The World State", where the promise is an eternally peaceful, stable global society in which goods and resources are plentiful.

The population is limited to no more than two billion people, and everyone is promised happiness. Natural reproduction has been done away with, and children are decanted and raised in "Hatcheries" and "Conditioning Centres." No more family relationship; no more mothers and fathers; no more grand parents, brothers and sisters; no cousins, no uncles and aunts, no more family.

Society is divided into five castes, created in these centres. The highest caste is allowed to develop naturally while it matures in its "decanting bottle" (this is the cast of the the rulers), while the lower castes are treated to chemical interference to cause arrested development in intelligence and physical growth.

The castes are Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons, with each caste further split into "Plus" and "Minus" members. Each Alpha or Beta is the product of one fertilized egg developing into one foetus. The rest are clones obtained from the splitting of one embryo 96 times. One ovary may produce thousands of artificial children.

This artificial production of specialized children bolsters the termite-modeled programming of the society.

EDUCATION

The "hypnopaedic process" is the process in which they teach the embryos all the lessons "THEY" want them to know. Children are conditioned from birth to value consumption with such platitudes as "buy a new one instead of fixing the old one", etc.

In The World State, people die at age 60 (people are "mind grafted" to accept euthanasia, -- premature death). Death isn't feared; anyone reflecting upon it is reassured by the knowledge that everyone is happy, and that society goes on. Since no one has family, they have no ties to mourn.

Citizens participate in mock religious services called Solidarity Services, in which they consume large quantities of Soma and sing hymns; the ritual progresses through group hypnosis and climaxes in an orgy of all sexual perversity, just as in the "satanic mass."

Interestingly, though Huxley's "Brave New World" was originally published in 1932, the illustration on the cover of the first edition dust jacket looks uncannily like the flag of the United Nations, which didn't come into existence until 15 years later. Your readers can decide if this is just a coincidence, or, it was, in fact, all part of a larger plan

Young Alaskan Urges Alternative Government

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:10:15 +0000

by Toby Moreland

(for henrymakow.com)

-Schaeffer Cox, 26, a bright and charismatic gun rights activist, told the Freedom Festival in northern Idaho in December not to be afraid of the word "militia."

"We need to take that word back from the people who demonize it," said Cox.

He emphasizes he's not talking about an "isolated little clique of angry people. It's got to be a group of people brought together by respect and a power to act."

Cox is the organizer of both the "Second Amendment Task Force" (over 7,000 members) and "The Alaska Peacemakers Militia" of Fairbanks, Alaska.

In Montana, Cox said, "Instead of starting a third party, we started a second government," complete with a judicial branch (a common law court run on silver), a defense system (a well-trained militia of over 3,500), and an executive, Cox himself.

He says, "anything beyond these three is just a tool of tyranny. That's all you really need to protect the rights of free people."

In a tightly knit, rural community like Fairbanks, he's probably right. Cox has traveled to various parts of the country informing fellow patriots about his organizations and urging them to sign his declaration and establish similar "second governments" of their own. The U.S. Constitution and self-defense rights in particular are at the heart of this declaration.

Cox carefully adds a disclaimer to his pitch stating, "it cannot be created in order to attack or antagonize the existing government. Let them crap in their own nest and bring themselves down under their own power. We're not there to do that to them. But, as it comes out that they're a freaking joke, here's an alternative."

It is his belief that the U.S. federal government will soon fail, and that "we have a duty to protect some sort of order even if it is just amongst ourselves" against anarchy or the "tyranny of the mob." This proactive approach is admirable, but does he understand the big picture?

Who is Our Enemy?

Cox defines our enemy as "basically federal government and people who take their money...and the international super-states..." He continues, "we don't need to gun down the beast...the only entity that is strong enough to destroy this beast of tyranny is that beast of tyranny, and they are doing a plenty good job without our help...the system is beyond repair."

Cox operates under the assumption that the government is the enemy of the people, and indicates that he hopes it will collapse. Like so many Americans, he cannot fathom a scenario where a threat to U.S. soil could emerge in the form of a foreign military. Also, I wonder if he has considered that a staged "civil war" may be exactly what is being planned in order to dissolve the United States.

Cox says, "I don't understand all of the ins and outs of this giant monster coming our way and bulldozing over our freedom, but I feel in my gut a resentment, and I think you identify with this...that you shouldn't have to understand all that stuff, and that our rights are rights."

He says, "Let's be characterized by what we love and work towards that, and let what we hate run its own natural course."

Are We Being Cast As the Enemy?

For those of us who value the Constitution and the Bill of RIghts, emulating our forefathers by forming a militia may not seem so far fetched. However, to the urban masses and liberal media pundits, what feelings are conjured by groups like Schaeffer Cox's?

Is there a possibility of portraying militias as a threat to the American people? Certainly, and this is already happening. Is there a possibility that some militia or "second government" advocates are really covert agents promoting violence or separation? Absolutely.

Do militias, and 2nd Amendment defenders in general, put a violent face on legitimate concerns of preserving ALL of our Constitutional rights? Some would think so.

Would Americans believe a false-flag attack caused by U.S. citizens that believe their enemy to be "anyone who would take away from us the freedoms that God gave us" as Schaeffer Cox does? Probably.

Cox says, "I am not against spilling blood for freedom. I will kill for liberty. Everybody asks 'would you die for liberty?' That's not really the right question to ask. The right question to ask is 'would you kill for liberty?' because if you would kill for liberty it assumes that you would die for liberty."

And later, he says that he fears on his deathbed "handing my sword to my son - a sword that never saw blood - and saying, 'son, you go do what I was never able to even look at...and it's way worse now son.'"

Noble words but is this the right course of action?

Oprah: Gays Have Model Marriage

Bursting the Malachi Martin Bubble

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:07:28 +0000

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

Powerful forces have maintained the fiction that Malachi Martin left the Jesuit Order voluntarily or on principle. In fact, this prominent church critic was forced to leave the priesthood because he was a scoundrel and a philanderer.

By 1962, he had alienated the affections of at least four housewives and then dropped them.

When one spurned woman asked Martin's brother in Dublin where Malachi was, she was told:

"Dear girl. I don't know. I must tell you, you are the fourth woman who has come here asking me the same question about Malachi. All of them have essentially the same story to tell. That they were in love with Malachi and thought Malachi was in love with them."

"Four woman?" she demanded. "The same story?"

He nodded, and said, "And one rather attractive young man."

This account can be found in Robert Kaiser's book, "Clerical Error" (2002). The woman was his wife. (pp.284-285)

Kaiser was the TIME magazine correspondent in Rome in the early 1960's.
Martin was a source who became a close family friend. Martin didn't just break up Kaiser's family. (Kaiser and his wife Mary had two young children.) It was much darker. To allay suspicions, Martin mobilized a network of influential contacts to smear Kaiser and have him committed as a paranoid schizophrenic.

ZIONIST AGENT AND LIAR

Martin's books exposed satanic practices in the Catholic church, and the Pope's role in the New World Order. While pretending to be against world government and the decline of traditional faith and practice, Martin went a long way to discredit the church. His many books were published by Illuminati mind-controller Simon and Schuster, which was a sign that something was fishy.

Kaiser's book, on the other hand, is published by Continuum which bills itself as "unconstrained by the interests of any global media group or academic institution, and based in London and New York."

In it, Kaiser recalls that Martin started hanging out with two officials of the New York-based American Jewish Committee and flashing $100 bills. The Jews were particularly concerned that the 1962 Second Vatican Council pass "the Jewish Schema" which absolved Jews of blame for Christ's Crucifixion and by implication accept guilt for 2000 years of anti-Semitism.

This is a typical example of how Illuminati mind-controllers invert good and evil. The Crucifixion of Christ was part of an ancient conspiracy against God and man reaching fruition with the New World Order.

"Martin was their lobbyist." Kaiser wrote. "These Jews were using him and paying him well for his help. (190)

Martin was the secretary to Cardinal Augustin Bea, a Marrano who spearheaded the Schema and a general liberalization of church dogma and practice. According to an article in Wikipedia, Martin passed confidential documents to the American Jewish Committee, which is a front for Illuminati bankers. He also wrote under pseudonyms many inflammatory articles for Illuminati magazines like Harper's describing the foot dragging of Vatican conservatives.

Martin had a reputation as a liar. Mark Owen cites psychiatrist M. Scott Peck's book "Glimpses of the Devil" about possession and exorcism. According to Peck, Martin, although a formidable scholar and polyglot (17 languages), could by turns be a "pathological liar" and a "leprechaun."

In an email, Owen told me that Peck said that in his book "Hostages to the Devil" Martin claimed he performed exorcisms that were actually performed by Peck.

MATURITY

Bob Kaiser's book, Clerical Error is also about attaining maturity. Kaiser spent 10 years as a Jesuit himself. He makes the point that immaturity is really a function of having "idols and "taking guidance from "authorities" like the Jesuits or "experts."

Kaiser was fooled by Martin's collar and couldn't see what was happening in his own home. Then instead of taking action, he sought help from the Jesuit Order, who generally prevaricated. His so-called friends didn't alert him.

Kaiser learned that maturity is not so much gaining wisdom as confidence in one's own judgment, trusting oneself no matter one's limitations.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me" is really an order from God to all of us: to take charge of ourselves, think our own thoughts, and feel our own feelings. In other words, to grow up." (262)

For a lot of us, maturity has been realizing that no one knows very much, and there are a lot of unscrupulous, stupid and evil people in the world.

One of these was Malachi Martin. Just a month ago I posted an article about his claims of a "satanic enthronement in the Vatican." I had always regarded him as a good guy although I wondered about his Jewish publisher.

Now, I would avoid his work, because I regard him as a classic example of the Illuminati phony opposition. Martin pretended to oppose the dismantling of the Catholic Church while secretly advancing it. His personal behavior revealed where his true loyalties lay.

BURY ME AT STARBUCKS (HUMOR)

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

I turned 60 last November. When you reach this ripe old age, you start to ponder your final resting place.

Recently, my wife and I were musing on this subject. An emigrant might want to be buried in his homeland. A sailor might wish his ashes strewn across the sea.

What were my favorite places? When I want to relax and read a paper and see people, I generally go to Starbucks.

I can't think of a better place to spend eternity than surrounded by beautiful people, tasteful Jazz and fragrant coffee aromas. True, I wouldn't be able to read the paper...

The customers at Starbucks are generally unaware of mankind's desperate condition, and still full of youthful optimism. They are trying to better themselves.

I like the company of hopeful, capable people. They tend to care about their appearance. Starbucks is the American equivalent of an English pub. It's a meeting place.

But, you say, a meeting place is not a cemetery.

My Starbucks has a fireplace. People could be cremated and discreetly secreted in the stone foundation.

Starbucks executives should consider this as part of a customer loyalty program. Buy 500 Lattes and go to Starbucks heaven.

[DISCLAIMER. THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS AN ENDORSEMENT OF STARBUCKS. (I make better coffee at home.) Some people need to lighten up!]

REPLY FROM DAN: BURY ME AT TIM HORTON'S

And even here the classes of men reveal themselves. On holiday in Niagara Falls my partner and I went to Starbucks for cappuccino and pastries. First off they use a lot of stainless steel, large tinted windows and those damn high wooden stools that always set off my sciatic. So it felt like a bad day at work with good coffee and confections. The atmosphere feels a bit like work too. Yes those well dressed young people sans wrinkles in their shirts, even while on vacation and ever so confident in their menu choices-with eyes flicking back and forth in an all too familiar pattern that communicated calculations afoot deep within their minds, "yes I am aware that froth is fifty cents extra, I come here all the time." When you near the half century mark you don't begrudge youthful optimism as much as you are confident through life experiences that half a dozen call center jobs will eventually beat that out of them.

When the bill was presented for twenty dollars (about twenty-two U.S. at the time as the Loonie was hedging the Greenback on this particular outing), I realized that no, Starbucks isn't for my class. So asking directions and heading a little farther into the Great White North and tucked right next to Food Basics was Tim Hortons. Now this is a coffee shop that I could afford to be buried in. Not only did they make my coffee exactly as I like it with double sugar and cream but we got twice the pastries for around six dollars, (about seven-fifty U.S.). And you aren't troubled by that optimism here. Yes, the men in muddy jeans and pensioners aren't trying to climb the corporate ladder, they know where they are in life and they have arrived.

I guess that if I died on vacation, that peculiar condition that says, ah what the hell, it's okay to take a quarter of what I've been saving as a down payment for a house and book this trip and I had my druthers, I'd prefer my plot to be at Hortons rather than Bucks. And at least I'd be a little closer to Canada, a land of people and government that I admire and respect.

Opus Dei -- Catholic Church Embraces Satanic Cult

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:40:04 +0000

There is confusion about Opus Dei since traditionally, the Catholic Church always condemned Secret Societies.

by Marie Henrie

(for henrymakow.com)

The last century saw many changes in the Catholic Church. One such change was the granting of Personal Prelature status on Opus Dei, which is a sect within the Catholic Institutional structure, created by Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer in 1928.

"In 1982, Opus Dei was established as a 'Personal Prelature' by Pope John Paul II. The term 'Personal' means that membership of Opus Dei is not linked to territory (as is the case in a diocese, for instance.) 'Prelature' means that the head of Opus Dei is a 'Prelate' appointed by the Pope.

The Vatican Yearbook indicates that Opus Dei includes about 1,800 priests. The remainder of the 85,000 members are laypersons. Approximately a quarter of Opus Dei's members are "numeraries," who have committed themselves to celibacy in order to be more available for the organization's activities.

The majority of the lay members are "supernumeraries," who are involved in Opus Dei's activities but do not make a commitment of celibacy. Opus Dei additionally has many "cooperators," who assist its activities through prayer, donations, or other means"

. http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Opus_Dei

The election of Pope John Paul II resulted in the installation of many Opus affiliates within the hierarchical structure of the Vatican. The canonization of Escriva solidified the sect's legitimacy. There is confusion about Opus Dei since traditionally, the Catholic Church always condemned Secret Societies.

NEW WORLD ORDERLIES

A website question asked what the Church's official position is on Opus Dei as late as 2007. The answer given by a Fr. Michael reflects the opinion of many Catholics:

" Jose Maria Escriva de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei, anticipated and developed 30 years before Vatican II a revolutionary, new, secular theology of the laity, and accepted the principle of pluralism and indifferentism: a NovusOrdo Seclorum. In 1982 John Paul II created this group as a "personal prelature."

Suspiciously, this act occurred in the same year that the wealthy sect allegedly transferred almost $1,000,000,000 into the Vatican Bank, bailing it out of an embarrassing bankruptcy. In a second maneuver that raised eyebrows, the pope placed the founder of Opus Dei on the "fast track" for New Order sainthood, accelerating an often centuries-long waiting-period for canonization to a mere twenty years.

Opus Deistas are part of the New Order Church. Opus Dei is a chameleon organization, being liberal or conservative, whichever benefits its agenda.

Juan Estruch in his book, Saints and Schemers described this as "dual ethics."

MURDER AND INTRIGUE

Michael Walsh, in his book, "Opus Dei: An Investigation into the Secret Society Struggling For Power Within the Roman Catholic Church," has also written in detail about the inner workings of Opus Dei."

Opus Dei vehemently denies bailing out the Vatican Bank due to the scandal however, murder and intrigue continue to surround Opus Dei and its members. In 2006 we read...

"The men -- financial consultant Filippo Botteri, computer expert EmilioToscani and workman Marco Baldi -- were charged with kidnapping banker Gianmario Roveraro, 70, as he was going home from an Opus Dei meeting July 5, and later killing and dismembering him.".

http://www.mail-archive.com/ctrl@listserv.aol.com/msg120134.html

An Opus Dei member, "former FBI Agent Robert Hanssen, was the worst of any American spy.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0105/18/ltm.10.html

What is so curious is Hanssen's marked religious piety and devotion to his wife and family and conversely, his obsession with pornography and traitorous acts on behalf of Soviet Russia.. Hanssen's one-word explanation for his treason, according to an FBI affidavit, was "loyalty." It may well be that his loyalty -- to Opus Dei and, by extension, the Foreign Service of the Vatican State -- hold the key to the mystery.

Hanssen "was a regular parishioner of St. Catherine of Sienna Church, in a Virginia suburb of the capital, where an elite congregation, which includes Supreme Court justice Anton Scalia, attend traditional Latin masses."

http://www.pacificnews.org/jinn/stories/6.31/010305-spy.html

PAUL WEYRICH

Besides Robert Hanssen, another prominent Opus Dei member was the late Paul Weyrich, a Reagan Insider who accompanied Reagan for the 1987 Moscow Economic summit prior to the alleged "fall' of Communism and the USSR. He was a friend of the communist leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

"In the early days, he (Paul Weyrich) was a pioneer of the new right," recalled Brent Bozell. longtime friend of Weyrich.Weyrich is credited with coining the term "Moral Majority" and for encouraging conservative pastors, many of whom had avoided partisan politics, to become more active in the public arena."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081218/pl_politico/16722

Weyrich founded the Washington D.C. -based think tank, Heritage Foundation, and the Committee for the Survival of Free Congress" on behalf of the Rockefellers.

http://newsletters.cephasministry.com/ncp8.html

POLAND AND SOLIDARITY

Lech Walesa, the Solidarity union leader who had cooperated with John Paul II to weaken the Communist regime in Poland attended the canonization of Escrivá in 2002.

Walesa said, "At last we have a saint for the workers."

This homage reflected Walesa's debt to Opus Dei. From 1980 onward, the Vatican, Opus Dei, and the CIA passed funds, intelligence, and supplies across the Iron Curtain to Solidarity, the anti-communist union that Walesa headed.

In 2005, Walesa told the Polish parliament that Solidarity had paved the way for globalization: "Irrespective of today's judgment and the price we had to pay in this generation, we were able to close an epoch of divisions, different blocs and borders, opening the way for an era of globalization."

In reply, "Poland's President Aleksander Kwasniewski, a former communist, said Walesa and other Solidarity leaders deserved the gratitude of all Poles for ushering in the democracy that led to Poland becoming a NATO and European Union member."

http://www.scp-inc.org/publications/journals/J2902/index.php

In payment for their role in the demise of the USSR, Opus Dei has been allowed to establish a presence in Russia. This is something the Eastern Catholic Rites have found nearly impossible due to objections from the Russian Orthodox Church. But not so for Opus Dei.

Along with the political revelations of the events that allegedly "brought down" the USSR, recent reports suggest Pope John Paul II himself was an Opus Dei member.

OPUS DEI ACTS LIKE A SATANIC CULT

The sect has been widely criticized for being a cult. According to the BBC,

"Opus Dei has come under fire for the dubious nature of their recruiting techniques - indeed, most denominations welcome new members, but it has been claimed that you have to be invited to Opus Dei, and that it is difficult for members to leave"

Former members have been coming forward as well as those adversely impacted by Opus Dei."

"...former member, Monsignor Vladimir Felzmann, believes that Opus Dei has a covert agenda to its activities. He was a member for 22 years, joining in 1969, and was one of those closest to its founder. The group's overall aim is to recruit, he said. "Covertly it's to have something to which you attract leading scientists and persuade them to join. But it's hard to know who belongs and who doesn't because they're encouraged not to tell you. You don't know what they're up to."

"When you meet people who, as a result of Opus Dei, give up religion and don't want funeral prayers to be said, then that matters."

He said he was saddened, rather than bitter, about the group. "When Christianity and fascism embrace you get Opus Dei. It was born in a time of fascism. They don't teach respect and love for others."

In a book about Véronique Duborgel, a 44-year old kindergarten teacher and former Opus Dei supernumerary, Susan Bell of the Telegraph (Britain), "describes techniques of psychological isolation similar to those sometimes used by sects, and claims that Opus Dei intrudes into the most intimate areas of members' private lives, encourages them to inform on each other and drains their financial resources...she was instructed not to tell family or friends that she was a member of Opus Dei."

A web site has been started in Brazil by former members who wish to expose the true character of Opus Dei.

Would US Troops Fire on Americans?

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:42:26 +0000

There were more than one hundred dead and wounded, including children and babies,in 1932 when US troops dispersed a camp of WW1 veterans demanding only what had been promised them.

Have No Doubt America...

By M. Ernest Smith

msmith181@columbus.rr.com

(for henrymakow.com)

The question often has been asked, especially during these last few years, if American military troops would indeed fire upon American citizens if so ordered by Washington. The answer? Have no doubt America, because it's already happened.

WWI was a terrible war that introduced new weapons and tactics resulting 100,000 US deaths as well as US 200,000 wounded and gassed in the first eighteen months alone.

The soldiers fighting that war for America earned between $1.00 and $1.50 per day while those serving under Selective Service in factories supporting the war earned as much as ten times that amount. After the war, the veteran soldiers demanded to be paid what they had lost during the war years as "adjusted compensation" as promised by the United States government. Later, their detractors would call it a "bonus".

FAST FORWARD TO 1928

Herbert Hoover, a self-made millionaire, said during his inaugural address that "the future of the country was bright with hope"... Seven months later the Great Depression hit. In 1932, there was 25% unemployment and many of the unemployed were WWI veterans and their families. It was decided that the veterans lead by Walter W. Waters would march on Washington, D.C.

By May of 1932, there were approximately 10,000 veterans and a few families totaling 30,000, who occupied what was called the Anacostia Flats neighborhood of Washington, D.C. where the vets slept in tents, barrels and some makeshift huts in almost a foot of mud.

Later, the veterans and their families proceeded to march and demonstrate to remind the Congressional representatives to keep their promise of compensation to the WWI vet, so badly needed and necessary during this nationwide financial disaster.

At first, the Congress approved the measure but the Senate soundly defeated it days later. It was during this time President Hoover resolved to drive the veterans out of Washington D.C. back to their homes. However, the larger problem was that most of the veterans didn't have any homes. Many were squatting in abandoned buildings.

Solution? President Hoover ordered the Washington, D.C. police to drive the vets out of the abandoned buildings. As with any forcible action, it was met with resistance...people fought the police...bricks were thrown and the police opened fire: two vets were killed.

It seems that anytime there is a police action around a government capital, troops are called...reader, take notice.

GENERAL MACARTHUR

President Hoover ordered General Douglas MacArthur who led 200 Cavalry, 400 armed troops, tanks and other armored vehicles against AMERICAN citizens and veterans of a war the government sent them to fight and die!

General MacArthur was not the only "Who's Who" participating in this "tyrannyfest", General MacArthur's aide, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and then Major George Patton also had a hand in the action. It should be noted that a witness, then seven year old Naamen Seigle, witnessed Major Patton draw his saber and lead the charge against the mass of veterans.

With Patton and the Calvary charging, the 400 ground troops dawned their gas masks and proceeded to hurl gas grenades into the crowd of veterans, a bitter reminder of battles such as in the Meuse-Argonne Forest in France.

No, this gassing was compliments of their own government. As the veterans ran choking from the effects of the gas, the troops with bayonets fixed, charged and jabbed their way into the crowd. Hundreds of veterans were injured and several killed.

After General MacArthur gained control of the situation, President Hoover ordered the General to proceed no further. But General MacArthur had other ideas. General MacArthur is quoted as saying "I cannot bother with pieces of paper during a military operation" and advanced on the Anacostia Flats encampment. It was during this unauthorized attack that MacArthur ordered the burning of the encampment to the ground.

What justification did General MacArthur use? He felt a Communist plot for revolution was at hand. Reader, beware.

What do we learn from this piece of history? The government will use our own military to suppress its citizenry if it feels threatened and it will use any excuse to do so.

Geert Wilders -- Dutch Rising Star is Zionist Shill

LETTER FROM AMSTERDAM

You're right about Geert. He is indeed a Zionist pawn. He supports Israel totally in its "existential" war against barbarous and terrorist Islam. He has been there over forty times and spent a year in a kibbutz when he was younger.

Surprisingly enough, he opposed the continuation of the Afghanistan mission, which led to the fall of the cabinet here a couple of weeks ago. But no doubt this was because the mission is deeply unpopular here.

There has been some debate on who finances him. He doesn't disclose this, but he is very popular with the AIPAC/ADL crowd in the US and there are strong reasons to believe they do at least part of the financing.

He has been on Dutch television exclaiming 'we are all Israel' to his Zionist backers in the US. (Click 'bekijk uitzending', go to 3:57). In fact, another party is introducing new legislation to force him to disclose who is behind him.

He likes yelling about the so called 'left' elite that runs the Netherlands. Wouter Bos, Labor Leader, is ex Shell, but these kinds of little details are beyond Geert. He will never question who started importing these Turks and Moroccans in the late sixties, early seventies. They were brought here, because the Dutch were apparently no longer willing to do the dirty jobs: we had full employment in those days. However, price elasticity suggests that when you can get no worker you must raise wages, and that is what our corporate boys did not want to do back then.

Geert is just another agent provocateur, useful idiot hired to lead popular dissent into a blind alley. The Muslims are his bogey men. He foments a race/religion conflict in the Netherlands, for which there is some support, because large scale immigration is facing mounting resentment.

He totally ignores the bankers, even in this time of the Great Crunch.

In this way he clearly supports the NeoCon WW3 agenda, and takes the heat off the bankers.

SUPPORT

He seems to have a solid base of between 15 and 20% of the populace. Not bad, but not quite enough to get real power. In our system, parties are forced to form coalitions to get majorities in Paliament (the "tweede kamer"). He will have to work with the Christian Democrats, who will allow him all sorts of nasty goodies (like forbidding head scarfs for your Muslim girls), but won't make any concessions regarding the EU, NATO, the Police State (which he backs, of course, as a necessary measure to stop the bearded hooligans) etc.

He has a nice style, calling his political opponents 'total idiots'. He has shown himself to be a good survivor, because he gets lambasted by the press here. The main 'quality' newspapers here are brain dead liberal outlets, always so civilized and nuanced. They play their role in declaring him an insult to civilization.

His main merit is, that he has made it politically correct to claim importing foreigners ('multiculturalism') is a farce. It is now reasonable to suggest that the newcomers must adapt and integrate. The day he invites his friends of Jewish Persuasion to do the same would mark the zenith of his political career.

The British did everything they could to give him standing by not allowing him to enter the country a few months back.

Geert is prosecuted for the 'hate crime' of comparing the Q'uran to Mein Kampf. This, of course, only serves to increase his popularity. Even I feel for him when confronted with such nonsense. Whether he is aware of the paradox that his Zionist/ADL/Political Correct masters are behind that bizarre institution is unclear to me.

PRIME MINISTER?

The fact that Geert is now a real contender for Prime Minister in the coming June elections, is not so much his strength, but reflects the rot of the traditional powerhouses, the Christian Democrats (CDA) and Labor (PvdA), whose bases have been eroding severely over the last 15 years and who were almost destroyed by Pim Fortuyn, nine years back.

PvdA and CDA usually have some 35 and 45 seats each, of a total of 150 seats. They will both be dropping below the critical 30 seats, apparently, in the next election. Chances are Geert will get some 30 seats too. The biggest party gets the initiative in the coalition talks and delivers the PM if a coalition can be formed.

When this happens, Geert will be quickly bogged down in the political snake pit that is The Hague, with its endless compromises. As long as he doesn't need to compromise, he has this great Macho allure, but when he gets to wield the axe in the national budget (150 billion for the bankers here, the sick, old and unemployed will have to pay), and is facing all the political infighting related to this nightmare, he will quickly start looking ordinary.

In short: our Geert is not a Jorg Haider (who had an auto "accident" after promising on Austrian TV to smoke out the Ziobankers) and he will enjoy his pension on the shores of Tel Aviv, unless his handlers find it more expedient to have him slaughtered like a pig for public relations purposes. This is what happened to his equally highly intelligent, but simple minded predecessors Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh.
