knowing we will never be successful in marketing freedom or human services to the world by any other means than setting a creditable example. And perhaps this wealthy upper crust will soon recognize that their global monopolies are doomed to failure after these foreign countries steal their know how - so their local businesses can once again prosper in a competitive and deregulated open market that benefits their working class rather than some powerful industrial or banking monopoly.
Isn’t it time for this tightly knit Kleptocracy to be exposed and placed under open public scrutiny?
So, who are these powerful and wealthy Money Barons that seek to place the working class back into bondage? Call it an Aristocracy; an Empire; a Monarchy; a Kingdom; a Realm; a Domain; a Republic; the privately held Federal Reserve and its Multinational Banks; The Shrub Dynasty; The Trilateral Commission (TC); The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR); The Bilderbergers; The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC’s); The World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA); Profit Insurance; the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers; or just the Upper Crust - it’s still the very same bondage and oppression our families fled from when they escaped to America over two hundred years ago - when another Kleptocratic Aristocracy stole from that working class to increase their affluence and power. But this time it’s important to remember - “We have no place to run!”
Let’s recall a similar situation when the Spanish, French and English all attempted to colonize the Caribbean. After the English finally drove the French and Spanish landowners off the islands in the 1650s - some two thousand white sugar plantation owners of the Master-Mistress Aristocracy, tried in 1733 to dictate to some seventy-nine thousand black slaves they’d placed under bondage - so they could flaunt their wealth and political and social power when they traveled back to their estates in England. But eventually this English upper class failed when the black slaves that had originally occupied those islands decided to revolt with overwhelming force, in what became known as the Great Slave Rebellion. The Maroons as they were called fought violently once they escaped into the mountains where thousands of them hid, some in holes in the ground, so they could eventually reclaim control of their own lives. [Perhaps like Saddam hiding in his hole] England’s - Eight New Rules of Torture - clearly described the type of public flogging, burning and dismemberment tactics used to stop this rebellion, and although many of the revolutionary male slaves died violent deaths, [ like 655,000 in Iraq] the women were only burned with red hot irons as they poured scalding hot water down their throats, so they’d suffer a bit. [Perhaps similar to water-boarding] Don’t you think it just might be time for the United States to sharpen its understanding of such hypocrisies?
President Ford once said to this author:
“It’s up to the President to maintain the delicate balance between the ends of a very heavy Iron Cross I carry. Each end of this cross represents a controlling power such as the politicians and the bureaucracy; the industrial complex and its lobbyists; the military; and the people. I’ve found that when a President allows too many gifts and benefits to flow in any one direction, things quickly get out of balance, like a loose string on a Stradivarius destroys the tone of a beautiful ballad.”
President Dwight Eisenhower also warned us as he left office in 1961, that our Industrial and Military Complex was becoming far too powerful. Yet, we’ve let the international industrial complex and the World Bank buy-off of our Presidents and politicians from Wilson to Bush, as well as our military - breeding stress and fear amongst this world’s many vulnerable and insecure human beings who are all becoming fatigued and apathetic as they watch this nation’s sovereignty, our reputation, and our financial well being self-destruct.
President Andrew Jackson, who believed that private multinational banks threatened our nation, wrote:
“The bold effort the present bank had made to control the government, the distress it had wantonly produced...are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.” (2)
Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution ... if the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” (3)
In that these powerful Money Barons now have direct access to government officials and policy makers as often as they wish - shouldn’t we have standards that require these meetings be in open public forum, since our politicians should be speaking for us? Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech on April 19, 1906 said:
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.” (4)
And then again in 1919, speaking just before his death he said:
“These International Bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.” (5)
In 1922, John Hylan, Mayor of New York, said:
“The warning of Theodore Roosevelt has much timeliness today, for the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over City, State, and nation... It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection... To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interest and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international Bankers. The little coterie of powerful international Bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business... These international Bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and magazines in this country.” (6)
As far back as the early 1900’s, in an effort to defuse the growing number of complaints over this type of government control, these powerful Money Barons intentionally staged the prosperity of the “Roaring 20’s” - only to later skillfully create “The Great Depression” of 1929, where they stole people’s homes and property when they defaulted on their bank loans. What’s so shocking about all this is that this same take-over has now reached global proportions. John F. Kennedy in a speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961 sought to expose this invisible New World Order when he stated:
“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.” (7)
Congressman Ron Paul at an event near Austin, Texas on August 30th, 2003 stated in an answer to a question from Eric Rainbolt, an audience member:
“Congressman Paul, ... If we can take a look at the big picture, could you tell us, the people in this room, any information that you may have of an international and deceptive conspiracy to overthrow the American Republic and its Constitution
