Throughout history,
psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, and assorted antisocial-personality-disordered
individuals have ruled societies.
Psychopaths and sociopaths
often exhibit glibness and superficial charm, have a grandiose
sense of self-worth, are pathological liars, display extreme narcissism,
are deceitful, cunning and manipulative, exhibit a lack of remorse
or guilt, show a callous disregard for the feelings of others,
have no conscience, lack empathy, and fail to accept responsibility
for their actions.
In a competitive world,
the people who act immorally, who have no regard for truth, are
going to have an advantage over those who play by the rules. The
result is that those who achieve positions of power will be the
most ruthless, the most sociopathic, the ones without conscience.
In societies run by
psychopaths, ambitious individuals and sycophants, who are not
clinically psychopathic, are induced to model themselves after
powerful psychopaths in order to achieve power. The result: psychopaths
breed more psychopaths.
When corporate leaders,
bankers, media executives, academics, military officers, government
officials, Congressmen and Senators, and even Presidents and Prime
Ministers, are liars and deceivers, and are ruthless, callous
manipulators who have no regard for truth or other people, the
entire fabric of society is twisted in their image, and psychopathic
behavior becomes the norm.

It is clear that this

constructed and is run by powerful hallow soulless individuals.
And, despite the violence,
suffering and chaos they have caused, we allow them to remain
at the top, and in control.

"The political system that

Niccolo Machiavelli
"Over 400 years ago, the
Florentine statesman Niccolo Machiavelli engaged in a profound
study of methods used by various rulers to attain power... The
findings of Machiavelli and other students of power decree that
to obtain power it is essential to ignore the moral laws of man
and of God; that promises must be made only with the intention
to deceive and to mislead others to sacrifice their own interests;
that the most brutal atrocity must be committed as a matter of
mere convenience; that friends or allies must be betrayed as matter
of course as soon as they have served their purpose. But, it is
also decreed that these atrocities must be kept hidden from the
common people except only where they are of use to strike terror
to the hearts of opponents; that there must be kept up a spurious
aspect of benevolence and benefit for the greater number of the
people, and even an aspect of humility to gain as much help as
possible."
E. C. Knuth in his book "The
Empire of the "City"
"Application of the doctrine
of power holds that highminded words can be used by the powerful,
the demagogue and the hypocrite, or the merely self-deluded, to
arouse passion and prejudice and sentimentality for the wrong
reasons in favor of disguised real aims, thus to deceive the people
and to lead them by easy stages to sacrifice their own interests
in the service of power."

PSYCHOPATHS & SOCIOPATHS
- WHO ARE THEY ?
"A psychopath is defined
as having no concern for the feelings of others & a complete
disregard for any sense of social obligation. They seem egocentric
and lacking insight and any sense of responsibility or consequence.
Their emotions are thought to be superficial and shallow, if they
exist at all. They are considered callous, manipulative and incapable
of forming lasting relationships, let alone of any kind of love.
It is thought that any emotions which the true psychopath exhibits
are the fruits of watching and mimicking other people's emotions.
They show poor impulse control and a low tolerance for frustration
and aggression. They have no empathy, remorse, anxiety or guilt
in relation to their behavior. In short, they truly are devoid
of conscience.
Psychopaths also have a markedly distorted sense of the potential
consequences of their actions, not only for others, but also for
themselves. They do not, for example, deeply recognize the risk
of being caught, disbelieved or injured as a result of their behaviour."
Robert D. Hare
"Psychopaths, like anyone
else, are born with different basic likes, dislikes and desires,
which is why some of them are doctors and presidents and others
are petty thieves or rapists.
... What differentiates a sociopath who
lives off the labors of others from one who occasionally robs
convenience stores, or from one who is a contemporary robber baron,
or what makes the difference between an ordinary bully and a sociopathic
murderer, is nothing more than social status, drive, intellect,
blood lust, or simple opportunity."
Martha Stout
"In every competition in
life, the cheaters are going to have an advantage. The people
who act immorally, who have no regard for truth, are gong to have
an advantage over those who play by the rules. The result is that
those who achieve positions of power will be the most ruthless,
the most sociopathic, the ones with no conscience."
Stefan Verstappen
"The truth is the only
thing worth working towards. What separates us from the psychopath
is our conscience, and our conscience must become the voice of
truth. True conscience raises us above the example of animal behaviour
set by the pathocrats."
Henry See in his book "The
Trick of the Psychopath's Trade"
"Psychopaths show a stunning
lack of concern for the devastating effects their actions have
on others. Often they are completely forthright about the matter,
calmly stating that they have no sense of guilt, are not sorry
for the pain and destruction they have caused, and that there
is no reason for them to be concerned."
Robert D. Hare
"Character-disordered individuals,
unencumbered by qualms of conscience, pursue their personal goals
with indifference to and often at the expense of the rights and
needs of others."
George Simon, Jr.
"Psychopaths differ from
normal people in that they lack the ability to relate emotionally
to others. As a consequence, they have a terrifying ability to
treat others not as human beings but as things to be exploited,
tortured or killed, as they see fit."
Ian Hughes
"Predators use charm, manipulation,
intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their
own selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others,
they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please,
violating social norms and expectations without the slightest
sense of guilt or regret.
Robert D. Hare
"The psychopath enjoys
making others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy seeing other
people happy, or doing things that make other people smile, the
psychopath enjoys the exact opposite."
Andrew M. Lobaczewski in his book
"Political Ponerology: a science on the nature of evil adjusted
for political purposes"
"Psychopaths are experts
at using people. They can ask anything of anyone without embarrassment.
... Psychopaths lie for the sake of lying. They can convey the
deepest heartfelt message without meaning a word of it."
Laura Knight-Jadczyk
"Empathy cannot defeat
the psychopath. You cannot change them, you cannot reform them,
you cannot find the goodness inside them, you cannot show them
the way to god, and you cannot teach them about love. All these
approaches are doomed to failure since psychopaths can never understand
nor can they care about these concepts. While they may lead you
to believe that you are getting through to them, in reality, your
empathy infuriates them and far from admiring your compassion,
they despise you even more. While you try to 'understand' the
psychopath, they are secretly calculating how best to cause you
the most suffering."
Stefan H. Verstappen
"Psychopaths are social
predators and like all predators they are looking for feeding
grounds. Wherever you get power, prestige and money you will find
them."
Robert Hare
"Interpersonal traits of
psychopaths include glibness, superficial charm, a grandiose sense
of self-worth, pathological lying, and the manipulation of others.
The affective traits include a lack of remorse and/or guilt, shallow
affect, a lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility.
... If violent offenders are psychopathic, they are able to assault,
rape, and murder without concern for legal, moral, or social consequences.
This allows them to do what they want, whenever they want. Ironically,
these same traits exist in men and women who are drawn to high-profile
and powerful positions in society including political officeholders."
Jim Kouri
"If you're very bright
and know how to dress well; if you have the gift of the gab; if
you're raised in an affluent family background; then you don't
go in the bank and rob it, you get in the bank and become a director."
Robert Hare
"Psychopaths are smart,
personable, and engaging, but have no consciences. They are not
guided by a sense of right or wrong. They seem to be unaffected
by the feelings of others, including feelings of distress caused
by their actions. Straying from a decent way of treating people,
or violating ethical codes causes no anxiety.
... Psychopaths are not technically insane. They don't have a
psychosis, like schizophrenia. They are experts in appearing normal.
... In a country in which much of human culture has been rendered
into machines for the manufacture of money, psychopaths are the
ideal leaders. They are very focused. They are outcome oriented.
They are frequently charming, and usually very bright and able.
They can lay off thousands of people, or deny people health care,
or have them waterboarded, and it does not disturb their sleep."
David Schwartz
"Civilization, as we know
it, is largely the creation of psychopaths. All civilizations,
our own included, have been based on slavery and warfare."
Stuart Hertzog
"Achieving power for the sake
of having power is the nature of the psychopath."
Robert Hare
"The Party seeks power
entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of
others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury
or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.
We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that
we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled
ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the
Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but
they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They
pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power
unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner
there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.
We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with
the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is
an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard
a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the
dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object
of torture is torture. The object of power is power."
George Orwell in his book "1984"
"Lying, deceiving, and
manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths."

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PSYCHOPATHS
TAKE POWER ?
" Pathocracy is a system
of government wherein a small pathological minority takes control
over a society of normal people."
Andrew M. Lobaczewski in his book
"Political Ponerology: A Science on The Nature of Evil Adjusted
for Political Purposes"
"Psychopaths do well in
politics. They are ideally suited to the ruthless, competitive,
self-promoting and manipulative power games that dominate party
politics."
Stuart Hertzog
"The society of experts
will control propaganda and education. It will teach loyalty to
the world government, and make nationalism high treason. The government,
being an oligarchy, will instill submissiveness into the great
bulk of the population It is possible that it may invent ingenious
ways of concealing its own power, leaving the forms of democracy
intact, and allowing the plutocrats or politicians to imagine
that they are cleverly controlling these forms whatever the outward
forms may be, all real power will come to be concentrated in the
hands of those who understand the art of scientific manipulation."
Bertrand Russell
"The war against a foreign
country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going

George Orwell
"The question is not how
to get good people to rule; the question is how to stop the powerful
from doing as much damage as they can to us."
Karl Popper
"Has the government of
the United States of America become a criminal enterprise? Is
the nation ruled by psychopaths? How can the impoverishment of
the people, the promotion of the military-industrial complex and
endless wars and their genocidal killing, the degradation of the
environment, the neglect of the collapsing infrastructure, and
the support of corrupt and authoritarian governments abroad be
explained? Worse, why are corporations allowed to profiteer during
wars while the people are called upon to sacrifice? Why hasn't
the government ever tried to prohibit such profiteering?"
John Kozy
"The civilized have created
the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend
to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter
and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever
and wherever they decide that their "vital interests"
are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these
people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the "sanctity"
of human life, or the "conscience" of the civilized
world."
James Baldwin, Collected Essays
"Unchecked, rulers will
always consolidate and centralize their control until there is
nothing left for them to seize."
Joseph Plummer
"The State of the Union
address is one of the largest collections of psychopaths ever
organized under one roof. Every one of them is regularly engaged
in the backstabbing political arena of bribes, usurpation of powers,
slimy deals, Constitution shredding laws, pork-barrel appropriations
for cronies, and contributors and the sanctioners of murder and
mayhem around the world.
Then comes the president. With a well-practiced, straight face,
he tells lie after lie as if he actually believed what he was
saying were true; his cadence interrupted only by the applause
from the gallery of psychopaths when he tells a really big one.
They all know that none of the president's promises will come
true - that it's all political subterfuge - but they give repeated
standing ovations for his convoluted proclamations."
Hari Heath
"Sociopaths love power.
They love winning. If you take loving kindness out of the human
brain, there's not much left except the will to win."
Martha Stout
"Psychopaths dominate the
halls of power in both the United States and throughout the world.
The current economic, political, military and legal system breeds
psychopaths, rewarding psychopathic behavior and punishing those
with conscience and integrity. Psychopaths will naturally be drawn
to and converge at the apex of the power pyramid as much from
their own drive for ambitious power as the hierarchical system
that both requires and reinforces those who can comfortably operate
without conscience, guilt or any genuine level of empathy toward
others."
Joachim Hagopian
"When we view the true
nature of psychopathic influence - that it is conscienceless,
emotionless, selfish, cold and calculating, and devoid of any
moral or ethical standards - then everything suddenly begins to
makes sense. Our society is ever more soulless because the people
who lead it and who set the example are soulless - they literally
have no conscience."
Andrzej Lobaczewski in his book
"Political Ponerology: A science on the nature of evil adjusted
for political purposes"
"Many politicians share
the traits of psychopaths who are not sensitive to altruistic
appeals, such as sympathy for their victims or remorse or guilt
over their crimes. They possess the personality traits of lying,
narcissism, selfishness, and vanity. These are the people to whom
we have entrusted our fate. Is it any wonder that America is failing
at home and world-wide?"
John Kozy
"Psychopaths are naturally
attracted to positions of power, and they will overwhelm anyone
with a conscience, who plays by the rules and has good intentions.
So you will have people with very dark interior lives, who are
controlling channels of communication, controlling finance, controlling
industry. And, they will promote their psychopathic "family"
values. Psychopathic "values" now permeate all facets
of our culture."
Stefan Verstappen
"Most psychopathic serial
killers and many professional politicians must mimic what they
believe are appropriate responses to situations they face such
as sadness, empathy, sympathy, and other human responses to outside
stimuli. ... These traits exist in men and women who are drawn
to high-profile and powerful positions in society including political
officeholders."
Jim Kouri
"Real power is unelected.
Politicians change, but the power structure does not. The Network
(a global Anglophile financial elite power structure) operates
behind the scenes, for its own benefit, without ever consulting
those who are affected by its decisions.
The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. They
are "satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance
of power." This approach of secretly exercising power is
common throughout history because it protects the conspirators
from the consequences of their actions.
A primary tactic for directing public opinion and "government"
policy is to place willing servants in leadership positions of
trusted institutions (media, universities, government, foundations,
etc.). If there is ever a major backlash against a given policy,
the servant can be replaced. This leaves both the institution
and the individuals who actually direct its power unharmed.
Historically, those who establish sophisticated systems of domination
are not only highly intelligent; they are supremely deceptive
and ruthless. They completely ignore the ethical barriers that
govern a normal human being's behavior. They do not believe that
the moral and legislative laws, which others are expected to abide
by, apply to them. This gives them an enormous advantage over
the masses that cannot easily imagine their mind-set. Advances
in technology have enabled modern rulers to dominate larger and
larger areas of the globe.
As a result, the substance of national sovereignty has already
been destroyed, and whatever remains of its shell is being dismantled
as quickly as possible. The new system they're building (which
they themselves refer to as a New World Order), will trade the
existing illusion of democratically directed government for their
long-sought, "expert-directed," authoritarian technocracy."
Joseph Plummer, 2014
"Psychopaths and sociopaths
flock to power. This is the trouble with any kind of power. It
attracts people who want to use it and who get thrills from using
it no matter what it does to other people... We have a nation
run by sociopaths and psychopaths."
Paul Craig Roberts, 2014
"Psychopaths seek positions
of power and influence, and politics offers publicity, prestige,
and other perks. It also provides positions of ultimate authority
over military, industry, and entire populations. In a world where
psychopaths are understandably viewed as morally repulsive, often
finding themselves at home in the criminal world, politics offers
an opportunity to create a new world, to be free from the moral
and legal rules of society."
Harrison Koehli
"Power is an addiction
its abusers can neither comprehend nor arrest. They are programmed
towards ruthless, hegemonic domination of the 'other'... The 'free
market' really means freedom for the few to steal everything from
the many. The game is rigged so that the people lose either way."
Niall Bradley
"Anyone who wants to rule
men first tries to humiliate them, to trick them out of their
rights and their capacity for resistance, until they are as powerless
before him as animals. He uses them like animals and, even if
he does not tell them so, in himself he always knows quite clearly
that they mean just as little to him; when he speaks to his intimates
he will call them sheep or cattle. His ultimate aim is to incorporate
them into himself and to suck the substance out of them. What
remains of them afterwards does not matter to him. The worse he
has treated them, the more he despises them. When they are no
more use at all, he disposes of them as he does excrement, simply
seeing to it that they do not poison the air of his house."
Elias Canetti
"Psychopaths have played
a disproportionate role in the development of civilization, because
they are hard-wired to lie, kill, injure, and generally inflict
great suffering on other humans without feeling any remorse."
Kevin Barnett
"American leaders are perhaps
not so much immoral as they are amoral. It's not that they take
pleasure in causing so much death and suffering. It's that they
just don't care. The same that could be said about a sociopath.
As long as the death and suffering advance the agenda of the empire,
as long as the right people and the right corporations gain wealth
and power and privilege and prestige, as long as the death and
suffering aren't happening to them or people close to them, then
they just don't care about it happening to other people, including
the American soldiers whom they throw into wars and who come home
- the ones who make it back alive - with Agent Orange or Gulf
War Syndrome eating away at their bodies. American leaders would
not be in the positions they hold if they were bothered by such
things."
William Blum
"Since the late 1940s,
the United States has been deliberately engaged in an imperial
project, and anyone who would hold the office of the presidency

foreign policy, if they wish to attain and hold on to power."

or national security adviser."
William Blum
"American policymakers,
setting themselves up as guardians of the world system, are more
inclined than ever to simply disregard international laws and
conventions if they get in the way of unrivaled military supremacy.
Every instance of U.S. armed intervention during the 1980s and
1990s represents a flagrant violation of regional treaties and
laws, not to mention the UN Charter itself, which explicitly prohibits
military attacks against sovereign nations - for example, Grenada,
Nicaragua, Haiti, Panama, Serbia, and Iraq. In any event, the
U.S. has consistently shown its contempt for international bodies,
agreements, and procedures that might conflict with its hegemonic
aspirations."
Carl Boggs
"So many Americans find

1982
"From 1945 to 2003, the
United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments,
and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting
against intolerable regimes. In the process, the US bombed some
25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people,
and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair."
William Blum
"In politics the professional
psychopath's ruthlessness and cunning gives them a distinct advantage
over any non-psychopath rival. They make charismatic leaders,
manipulating and brainwashing the naive, vulnerable, uneducated,
or mentally weak. Mastery of lying allows them to make whatever
outrageous campaign promises straight faced with, of course, no
intention of keeping any of them. A life spent faking being human
give them the ability to assume the roles of virtuous public servant,
the perfect father, husband, advisor, mentor, and everyman. In
addition when things get rough they have no inhibitions in playing
dirty and readily resort to murder, assassination, persecution,
war and genocide."

[HIroshima was a Japanese city with a population of 400,000. The
atomic bomb killed more than 150,000 civilians.]
President Harry Truman, August
9, 1945
"Based on a detailed investigation
of all the facts and supported by the testimony of the surviving
Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that certainly
prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to November
1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had
not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and
even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated."
U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey [1945]
- which interviewed 700 Japanese officials after WWII
"It is my opinion that
the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was
of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese
were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective
sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons.
The lethal possibilities of atomic warfare in the future are frightening.
My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted
an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.
I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot
be won by destroying women and children."
Admiral William Leahy, top military
aide to President Truman, in his war memoirs
"It wasn't necessary to
hit them [Japanese] with that awful thing ... To use the atomic
bomb, to kill and terrorize civilians, without even attempting
negotiations, was a double crime."
General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"The truth is we are guilty.
Our conscience as a nation must trouble us. We must confess our
sin. We have used a horrible weapon to asphyxiate and cremate
more than 100,000 men, women and children in a sort of super-lethal
gas chamber - and all this in a war already won or which spokesman
for our Air Forces tell us we could have readily won without the
atomic bomb."
David Lawrence, founder and editor
of U.S. News And World Report
"The MacArthur memorandum
to F.D.R. of January 20, 1945 ... explicitly set forth the terms
of an authentic Japanese peace offer which were virtually identical
with the final surrender terms that we accepted from the Japanese
seven months later at the cost of countless needlessly expended
lives, Japanese and American alike.
The major reason for dropping the bomb was a saber-rattling gesture
to the Russians against whom we were already preparing the Cold
War."
historian Harry Elmer Barnes, National
Review, 1958
"I voice my grave misgivings,
first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated,
and that the dropping of the bomb was completely unnecessary,
and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking
world opinion by the use of a weapon which I thought was no longer
mandatory to save American lives."
Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Supreme Allied Commander in Europe
"In principle, the extermination
camps where the Nazis incinerated over six million helpless Jews,
were no different from the urban crematoriums our air force improvised
in its attacks by napalm on Tokyo. Our aims were different but
our methods were the same as mankind's worst enemy."
[The incendiary bombings of Tokyo killed more people than did
either of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki].
American intellectual and writer
Lewis Mumford, 1950s
"Although challenged by
revisionist historians, the standard American interpretation supported
by the widest segment of public opinion has been that the atomic
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war. This is simply
a myth and has little relationship to historical facts. "
modern historian Tsuyoshi Hasegawa
"Indeed, about one matter,
there can be little doubt, Hiroshima is an American legend. As
the rationales for the atomic bombing have come under detailed
historical scrutiny, and the foundations underpinning much of
the original justification have begun to erode, adherence to the
myth of Hiroshima has intensified among those who believe the
United States acted correctly even more."
Lawrence Lifshultz and Kai Bird
in their introduction to the collection of documents they edited
titled "Hiroshima's Shadow: Wirings on the Denial of History
and the Smithsonian Controversy", 1996
"We didn't need to do it
[bomb HIroshima and Nagasaki], and we knew we didn't need to do
it, and they knew that we knew we didn't need to do it; we used
them as an experiment for two atomic bombs."
Brigadier General Carter Clarke,
military intelligence officer,
in charge of preparing intercepted Japanese cables for President
Truman and his advisors
"I want people around me
who would kiss my ass on a hot summer's day and say it smells
like roses."
President Lyndon Johnson to Senator
Hubert Humphrey
"Fuck your Parliament and
your Constitution. We pay a lot of good American dollars to the
Greeks, Mr. Ambassador. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about
Democracy, Parliament and Constitutions, he, his Parliament, and
his Constitution may not last very long."
President Lyndon Johnson to the
Greek Ambassador, 1970s
"The exercise of power
in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not
arrogance but agony. We have used our power not willingly and
recklessly ever, but always reluctantly and with restraint."

Lyndon B. Johnson, commenting to
reporters on the first American airstrikes against North Vietnam,
August 5, 1964
"We own half the trucks
in the world. We own almost half of the radios in the world. We
own a third of all the electricity... Now I would like to see
them [Vietnamese] enjoy the blessings that we enjoy. But don't
you help them exchange places with us, because I don't want to
be where they are."
President Lyndon Johnson before
a junior Chamber of Commerce audience, 1966
"As a human being Lyndon
Johnson was a miserable person - a bully, sadist, lout, and egotist.
He had no sense of loyalty, and he enjoyed tormenting those who
had done the most for him. He seemed to take a special delight
in humiliating those who had cast in their lot with him. It may
well be that this was the result of a form of self-loathing in
which he concluded that there had to be something wrong with anyone
who would associate with him."
George Reedy, Lyndon Johnson's
former press secretary
"Lyndon Johnson was a monster...
He was one of the few politicians with whom I found it uncomfortable
to be in the same room. Johnson exuded a brutal lust for power
which I found most disagreeable. When he said, "I never trust
a man unless I have his pecker in my pocket", he really meant
it. He boasted about acting on the principle, "Give me a
man's balls, and his heart and mind will follow"."
Denis Healey, the Secretary of
Defense in Britain in his memoirs

"President Rios Montt is
a man of great personal integrity and commitment who wants to
improve the quality of life for all Guatemalans, and is getting
a "bum rap" on human rights."
President Ronald Reagan - about
Guatemalan dictator and mass-murderer Efrain Rios Montt
"During the early '80s
when the Reagan administration was backing them enthusiastically
under the time of the dictator Gen. Rios Montt, the Guatemalan
military would go into villages in the Mayan highlands in the
northwest... They would decapitate people. They would crucify
people. They would use the tactics that ISIS today puts on video
that are now shocking the world."
investigative journalist Allan

"As long as there is breath
in my body, I will speak and work, strive and struggle, for the
cause of the Nicaraguan freedom fighters [contras].
... [The contras are] the moral equivalent of our founding fathers."
President Ronald Reagan - about
the U.S.-funded Contra mercenary army that terrorized Nicaraguans
for more than a decade
"If it takes a bloodbath
... let's get it over with."
California Governor Ronald Reagan
- about dealing with Vietnam war protesters
"From a pay phone at the
Nutburger stand on Sunset Boulevard, Ronald Reagan places midnight
calls to his brother Neil, an F.B.I. spy investigating the Hollywood
Independent Citizen's Committee of Arts, Sciences and Professions
for Communist leanings. As one of the Bureau's confidential informants,
code number T-10, Reagan delivers the names of suspicious colleagues
and identifies cliques in the Screen Actors Guild loyal to the
Communist Party line.
At J. Edgar Hoover's request, he reels off the names of disloyal
actors and actresses at a secret session of the House Un-American
Activities Committee."
Michael K. Smith
"Ronald Reagan was most
definitely a global empire builder, a servant of the corporatocracy.
He would cater to the men who shuttled back and forth from corporate
CEO offices to bank boards and into the halls of government. He
would serve the men who appeared to serve him but who in fact
ran the government. He would advocate what those men wanted: an
America that controlled the world and all its resources, a world
that answered to the commands of that America, a U.S. military
that would enforce the rules as they were written by America,
and an international trade and banking system that supported America
as CEO of the global empire."
John Perkins
"There is basically a refusal
on the part of American society to enforce the murder laws when
the killings are done by presidents or generals, and where the
victims are foreigners. Now, all big powers do this. But in the
recent period, because the U.S. has been the dominant power, the
U.S. has the biggest death toll. If you added all the operations
up it would go into the several millions. Just to list the ones
that I've personally seen and tried to expose and fight against:
Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Haiti, South Africa,
Palestine, East Timor, Indonesia, southern Thailand. I'm sure
I'm leaving out a few. The U.S. has used the Pentagon, the CIA,
occasionally the State Department to set up or back local forces,
help them gather intelligence on dissidents, and help them provide
the means to carry out systematic assassinations."

Bill Clinton / George W Bush /
Barack Obama
"The world once divided
into two camps now recognizes one sole and preeminent power, the
United States of America. And they regard this with no dread.
For the world trusts us with power, and the world is right. They
trust us to be fair, and restrained. They trust us to be on the
side of decency. They trust us to do what's right."
President George H W Bush, 1992
"What is at stake is more
than one small country, it is a big idea - a new world order...to
achieve the universal aspirations of mankind...based on shared
principles and the rule of law...The illumination of a thousand

would be chased down the street and lynched."
George H W Bush to reporter Sarah
McClendon, Dec. 1992
"You can say anything you
want in a debate, and 80 million people hear it. If reporters
then document that a candidate spoke untruthfully, so what? Maybe
200 people read it, or 2000 or 20,000."
George H W Bush's press secretary
to reporters following the 1980 vice-presidential debate
"It was Bill Clinton's
administration that deregulated derivatives, that deregulated
telecom, and that put our country's only strong banking laws in
the grave. He's the one who rammed the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) through Congress and who taught the world that
the way you respond to a recession is by paying off the federal
deficit. Mass incarceration and the repeal of welfare, two of
Clinton's other major achievements, are the pillars of the disciplinary
state that has made life so miserable for Americans in the lower
reaches of society. He would have put a huge dent in Social Security,
too, had the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal not stopped him. If we
take inequality as our measure, the Clinton administration looks
not heroic but odious."
Thomas Frank
"President Clinton decided
that those who had given up looking for work, or those who wanted
full-time jobs but could find only part-time employment, were
no longer to be counted as unemployed. His trick disappeared some
5 million unemployed from the official unemployment rolls.
... Our actual unemployment rate, when you include those who have
stopped looking for work and those who can find only poorly paid
part-time jobs, is 15 percent."

for seventy-eight days and nights in a row. His military and political
policies destroyed one of the most progressive countries in Europe.
And he called it humanitarian intervention. It's still regarded

"We can't be so fixated
on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary citizens."
President Bill Clinton
"When we got organized
as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a
radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual
freedom to Americans... and so a lot of people say there's too
much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you
have to move to limit it."
President Bill Clinton, 1994
"We're not inflicting pain
on these fuckers. When people kill us, they should be killed in
greater numbers. I believe in killing people who try to hurt you.
And I can't believe we're being pushed around by these two-bit
pricks."
Bill Clinton in 1993, about Somalia
- to George Stephanopoulos
"As the first president
of the new global era, Bill Clinton visited more than 70 countries,
set up the WTO, boosted the international budget, maintained high
levels of Pentagon spending, militarized the drug wars in South
America, continued the military and economic assault on Iraq,
laid the groundwork for "humanitarian" interventions,
bombed the Sudan and Afghanistan, and carried out protracted aerial
raids on Serbia. Enthused by prospects for total surveillance
of the world, Clinton raised intelligence spending levels to more
than 30 billion dollars, with increasing emphasis on the supersecret
National Security Agency. The planned, systematic, and brutal
destruction of the Serb infrastructure must be considered one
of the great war crimes of the postwar years."
Carl Boggs
"Bill Clinton, and most
other contemporary Democrats, did not and will not do what is
best for us or the world we live in. We don't pay their bills
- the top 10 percent do, and it is their will that will always
be done. So is there a difference between Democrats and Republicans?
Sure. The Democrats say one thing and then do another-quietly
holding hands behind the scenes with the bastards who make this
world a meaner place. The Republicans just come right out and
give the bastards a corner office in the West Wing. That's the
difference."
Michael Moore
"The North American Free
Trade Agreement [NAFTA] was peddled by the Clinton White House
as an opportunity to raise the incomes and prosperity of the citizens
of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. NAFTA would also, we
were told, stanch Mexican immigration into the United States.
... But NAFTA, which took effect in 1994, had the effect of reversing
every one of Clinton's rosy predictions. Once the Mexican government
lifted price supports on corn and beans grown by Mexican farmers,
those farmers had to compete against the huge agribusinesses in
the United States. Many Mexican farmers were swiftly bankrupted.
At least 2 million Mexican farmers have been driven off their
land since 1994.
... NAFTA was great if you were a corporation. It was a disaster
if you were a worker.
... Bill Clinton's welfare reform bill, signed on August 22, 1996,
obliterated the nation's social safety net. It threw 6 million
people, many of them single mothers, off the welfare rolls within
three years. It dumped them onto the streets without child care,
rent subsidies, or continued Medicaid coverage.
... Clinton slashed Medicare by $115 billion over a five-year
period and cut $25 billion in Medicaid funding.
... The Clinton administration, led by Lawrence Summers, signed
into law the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, which
ripped down the firewalls that had been established by the 1933
GlassSteagall Act. Glass-Steagall established the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. It set in place banking reforms to stop
speculators from hijacking the financial system. With Glass-Steagall
demolished, and the passage of NAFTA, the Democrats, led by Clinton,
tumbled gleefully into bed with corporations and Wall Street speculators."
Chris Hedges
"In 1994, Bill Clinton
called for and then sign his name to the most sweeping police-state
bill that postwar America has seen. Among other things, the measure
provided for the construction of countless new prisons, it established
over a hundred new mandatory minimum sentences, it allowed prosecutors
to charge thirteen-year-olds as adults in some cases, and it coerced
the states into minimizing parole. It also increased the number
of federal death penalties from three to sixty, including some
for nonlethal offenses."
Thomas Frank
"We're a peaceful nation...

then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq...'

get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security,
and get peace in the Middle East."
President George W Bush
"Our nation stands alone
right now in the world in terms of power, and that's why we've
got to be humble and yet project strength in a way that promotes
freedom.
We're a freedom-loving nation. And if we're an arrogant nation,
they'll view us that way, but if we're a humble nation, they'll
respect us.
I think the United States must be humble and must be proud and
confident of our values, but humble in how we treat nations that
are figuring out how to chart their own course."

President George W Bush
"Bill Clinton rammed the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) through Congress.
... NAFTA was supposed to encourage U.S. exports
to Mexico; the opposite is what happened, and in a huge way. NAFTA
was supposed to increase employment in the U.S.; a study from
2010 counts almost 700,000 jobs lost in America thanks to the
treaty. And, the agreement gave one class in America enormous
leverage over the other: employers now routinely threaten to move
their operations to Mexico if their workers organize. A surprisingly
large number of them-far more than in the pre-NAFTA days-have
actually made good on the threat.... In the decades before NAFTA,
Mexico's economy often grew rapidly; since NAFTA was enacted,
Mexico has experienced some of the feeblest growth of any country
in Latin America, despite all the stuff it now makes and exports
to the U.S. The country's poverty rate has not changed much at
all while every other country in the region has made considerable
progress. One reason for all this is the predictably destructive
effect that free trade with American agribusiness has had on the
fortunes of millions of Mexican family farmers."

"Whatever mistakes we have
made, the plain fact is this: The United States of America has
helped underwrite global security for more than six decades with
the blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms.
We have borne this burden not because we seek to impose our will.
We have done so out of enlightened self-interest - because we
seek a better future for our children and grandchildren, and we
believe that their lives will be better if others' children and
grandchildren can live in freedom and prosperity."
Barack Obama in his Nobel speech,

Barack Obama in his Nobel speech,
2009
"U.S. military commanders
consistently fail to make the most fundamental distinction between
combatants and civilians that is at the heart of the laws of war.
They issue a wide variety of illegal orders that include "weapons
free" (formerly "free fire") rules of engagement;
orders to "kill all military age males"; air strikes
on buildings where combatants have taken cover among large numbers
of civilians; and brutal collective punishment of civilian populations."

the use of drones in which more than 70% of those killed are civiiians]
Barack Obama in his Nobel speech,
2009

President of the United States is not another hypocritical speech...
This means ending U.S. wars and occupations, radically reassessing
the genuine defense needs of his country, bringing his government
into compliance with its international treaty commitments and
enforcing its own laws."
Barack Obama in his Nobel speech,
2009
"In addition to the bloodshed
and chaos which Barack Obama has inflicted upon the hapless souls

veteran with close ties to Hillary-clearly spent far, far less

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
- about US sanctions killing more than 500,000 Iraqi children
"As UN Ambassador and the
Secretary of State in the Bill Clinton regime, Madeleine Albright
was a fanatical advocate of the genocidal sanctions blockade that
killed more than a million women, children and men in Iraq, and
of the 1999 U.S./NATO bombing war against Yugoslavia."

- about sanctions on Iraq
"Hillary Clinton was an
unethical, dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution,
the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules
of confidentiality."
Jerry Zeifman, Chief Counsel ,
House Judiciary Committee, when asked why he fired her
"What's the point of having
this superb military that you're always talking about if we can't
use it?"
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
"Hillary Clinton embodies
the violence of a system whose vaulted exceptionalism is a form
of Fascism, with an occasional liberal face. In the last Presidential
campaign, she threatened 'to totally obliterate Iran with nuclear
weapons'. As Secretary of State under Obama, she approved the
overthrow of the democratically elected government of Honduras.
Her almost gleeful destruction of Libya in 2011, qualifies her
as a Class A war criminal. When the Libyan leader, Col. Gaddafi
was publicly sodomized with a knife, a murder made possible by
American logistics, Clinton gloated over his death. Clinton's
biggest backers are the Israel lobby and arms companies that fuel
the violence in the Middle East. She and her husband have taken
millions of dollars from Wall Street. She is corrupt and violent,
and yet she is about to be ordained 'The Women's Candidate'."
John Pilger
"We intentionally set the
bar too high for the Serbs to comply. They need some bombing,
and that's what they are going to get."
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
- about the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999
"In 1999, Albright played
a key role in the war on Yugoslavia, engineering the failure of
the negotiations that preceded the war. Albright presented the
Yugoslav government with an "agreement" that would have
allowed NATO to forces to occupy the entire country, with the
unheard of provision that Yugoslavia would pay for the expenses
of the occupation!
After the talks broke off, a "top official" (Albright)
told reporters in an off-the-record session: "We intentionally
set the bar too high for the Serbs to comply. They need some bombing,
and that's what they are going to get." When the Yugoslav
government predictably rejected the ultimatum disguised as a "proposal,"
the bombing began and continued for three months.
Thousands of civilians were killed, wounded and made homeless.
As was true in Iraq, the entire population was traumatized, with
women and children most severely impacted.
Like the assault on Iraq, the attack on Yugoslavia was a war crime,
a "crime against peace," the most serious of all violations
of international law, a war of aggression against another state
that poses no threat to the country launching the war."

- the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative, Inc. - clearly spent
far less than it took in. In fact, the unit's accounting practices
were so shoddy that its license was revoked by the state of Massachusetts.
... Bill and Hillary Clinton have in tandem made enormous sums
of money since Bill left the White House. According to the Washington
Post, they netted at least $136.5 million between 2001 and 2012."

"It's quite distressing
to see two permanent members of the Security Council [Russia and
China] using their veto while people are being murdered - women,
children, brave young men - houses are being destroyed. It is
just despicable and I ask whose side are they on? They are clearly
not on the side of the Syrian people."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
"The American people are
tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're
not."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
"I am delighted to be here
in these new [Council on Foreign Relations] headquarters. I have
been often to, I guess, the mother ship in New York City, but
it's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the
street from the State Department._We get a lot of advice from
the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be
told what we should be doing and how we should think about the
future."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's
opening remarks during her speech to the Council on Foreign Relations
, July 15, 2009
"We came. We saw. He died!"
Hilary Clinton in a TV interview
- about the brutal sodomy and murder of Libyan leader Muammar
Qaddafi
"Though an overwhelming
majority of Americans, according to public opinion polls, believe
that human rights should be a cornerstone of American foreign
policy, Senator Hillary Clinton has repeatedly prioritized the
profits of American arms manufacturers and the extension of Washington's
hegemonic reach in parts of the world."
Stephen Zunes
"The Clinton's are singular
in terms of both their greed and their hubristic sense of entitlement...
Bill has made at least $136.5 million, mostly from speaking engagements,
between 2001 and 2012, and Hillary is now earning even more than
he is per speech... The Clinton Foundation, administered separately
from their private wealth, had assets totaling nearly $278 million
at the end of 2013."
Philip Giraldi
"The State Department,
along with the rest of the Administration, will be a strong voice
for international legal norms, for living up to our treaty obligations,
to recognizing that America's moral authority in international
politics also rests on our ability to defend international laws
and international treaties."
Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of
State in the George W. Bush Administration
"The United States does

gun to be a mushroom cloud."
Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of
State in the George W. Bush Administration, Sept. 8, 2002
"Condelleza Rice and Colin
Powell are both dangerous people. What they did in Haiti is a
good measure of it. They destroyed a democracy. They squelched
loans that had been approved by the Inter-American Development
Bank. They did everything behind the scenes, including arming
the thugs that came to overrun the country. They're frauds."
Randall Robinson
"Pathological lying and
manipulation are not restricted to psychopaths. What makes psychopaths
different from all others is the remarkable ease with which they
lie, the pervasiveness of their deception, and the callousness
with which they carry it out. "
Robert D. Hare
Zbigniew Brzezinski / Henry Kissinger
"Zbigniew Brzezinski is
a psychopath, and like many psychopaths, he is intelligent, calculating,
and completely devoid of anything that resembles empathy, compassion
or remorse. You cannot do the things that he does and still consider
yourself to be a normal human being."
Charlie Robinson, in his book "The
Octopus of Global Control", 2017
"Henry Kissinger is the
greatest living war criminal in the world today, with the blood
of millions of people in Vietnam and Cambodia and Laos and Chile
and East Timor on his hands."
George Galloway
"U.S. military forces were
directly responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths during
the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the two Iraq Wars.
... The United States was also responsible for 14 million deaths
in Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, East
Timor, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sudan.
... The United States most likely has been responsible since WWII
for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and
conflicts scattered over the world."
James A. Lucas
"In the United States,
as you know, we are sympathetic with what you are trying to do
here ... We wish your government well."
Henry Kissinger to Chilean dictator
Augusto Pinochet, prior to his 1973 overthrow (and death) of Chilean
President Salvador Allende
"Today Americans would
be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order;
tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they
were told there was 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 with world leaders 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 their world government."
Henry Kissinger speaking at the
annual Bilderberger meeting, May 21, 1992

the head of state of Canada
"Why should we flagellate
ourselves for what the Cambodians did to each other?"
Henry Kissinger
"How many people did Khmer
Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary kill? Tens of thousands?
You should tell the Cambodians [i.e., Khmer Rouge] that we will
be friends with them.
They are murderous thugs, but we won't let that stand in the way.
We are prepared to improve relations with them.
Tell them the latter part, but don't tell them what I said before."
Henry Kissinger speaking to a Thai
Foreign Minister, 1975
"Henry Kissinger produced,
in April 1974, the classified National Security Council Study
Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200), directed to Washington high officialdom,
defining a program aimed at population reduction in Third World
countries possessing needed raw materials, since growing populations
with aspirations for a better standard of living give rise to
high prices for such materials. Kissinger named 13 target countries
for population control, including Brazil, India, Egypt, Mexico,
Ethiopia, Columbia, and others."
F William Engdahl in his book "A
Century of War"
"I ask you, what is the
difference between 30 million people dead and 130 million people

"The technetronic era involves
the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society
would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values.
Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance
over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing
even the most personal information about the citizen. These files
will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."
Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1970
book "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic
Era"
"People, governments and
economies of all nations must serve the needs of multinational
banks and corporations."
Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book
"Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era"
"The "nation-state
as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be
the principal creative force: International banks and multinational
corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in
advance of the political concepts of the nation-state."
Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book
"Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era"
"For America, the chief
geopolitical prize is Eurasia. Now a non-Eurasian power is preeminent
in Eurasia-and America's global primacy is directly dependent
on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian
continent is sustained. To put it in a terminology that harkens
back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three great
imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and
maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries
pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together."
Carter National Security Advisor
Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote of the plans to control Eurasia, including
Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan
"Years ago the publication
of the book [Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of
Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes] in the US was killed by
Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinski in a very cunning way. What was his motivation,
I may only guess. Was it his own private strategy, or did he act
as an insider of the "great system" as he surely is?
How many billions of dollars and how many human lives the lack
of this science has cost the world."

book " Political Ponerology: a science on the nature of evil

Sen. John McCain / Rep. Dennis
Hastert
"Eighteen months after
winning his seat in Congress, Newt Gingrich who campaigned on
keeping his family united asked for a divorce. His wife Jackie,
who was in the hospital recovering from a second cancer operation,
was confronted by her husband carrying a yellow legal pad filled
with a list of his wishes regarding how the divorce should be
handled. He wanted her to sign it, then and there, even though
she was still groggy from surgery. When Gingrich abandoned his
family he left them near destitute."
John Dean
"Newt Gingrich uses people
and then discards them as useless. He's like a leech. He really
is a man with no conscience. He just doesn't seem to care who
he hurts or why."
reporter Mary Kahn
"The important thing you
have to understand about Newt Gingrich is that he is amoral. There
isn't any right or wrong, there isn't any conservative or liberal.
There's only what will work best for Newt Gingrich. He's probably
one of the most dangerous people for the future of this country
that you can possibly imagine."
L. H. Carter, once a close friend
and adviser to Newt Gingrich
"I hated my enemies even
before they held me captive because hate sustained me in my devotion
to their complete destruction and helped me overcome the virtuous
human impulse to recoil in disgust from what had to be done by
my hand."

"Get on with the business
of killing our enemies as quickly as we can, and as ruthlessly
as we must."
Senator John McCain, about the
Taliban in Afghanistan
"I believe that the Iraqi
people will greet us as liberators."
Senator John McCain
"Mr. John McCain fought
in Vietnam. I think that he has enough blood of peaceful citizens
on his hands. It must be impossible for him to live without these
disgusting scenes anymore. Mr McCain was captured and they kept
him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years, Anyone
in his place would go crazy."
Russian President Vladimir Putin
"John McCain fits perfectly
as an authoritarian leader, possessing most, if not all, of these
traits:
dominating, opposes equality, desirous of personal power, amoral,
intimidating and bullying, faintly hedonistic, vengeful, pitiless,
exploitive, manipulative, dishonest, cheats to win, highly prejudiced
(racist, sexist, homophobic), mean-spirited, militant, nationalistic,
tells others what they want to hear, takes advantage of "suckers",
specializes in creating false images to sell self,
may or may not be religious, usually politically and economically
conservative/Republican"

Allen Dulles-Director of CIA (1953-1961)
"Do nothing to offend the
dictators in Latin America ; they are the only people we can depend
on."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
"Somehow we find it hard
to sell our values, namely that the rich should plunder the poor."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
"In order to bring a nation
to support the burdens of maintaining great military establishments,
it is necessary to create an emotional state akin to war psychology.
There must be the portrayal of external menace."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
"In every society a minority
always dominated. The question was how to do it. If the minority
affronted the majority, it lost influence. If discretely exercised...
the minority influence could be effective and desirable."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
"We must regard Arab nationalism
as a flood which is running strongly. We cannot successfully oppose
it, but we can put up sand bags around positions we must protect
- the first being Israel and Lebanon and the second being the
oil positions around the Persian Gulf."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
"They've done studies of
people in power, and they all have to be, to some extent, on the
psychopathic spectrum. You have to be unfeeling to a certain extent
to send people to their death in war and take the kind of actions
that men and women in power routinely have to take. But with Allen
Dulles, I think he went to the next step. His favorite word was
whether you were "useful" to him or not. And this went
for people he was sleeping with or people he was manipulating
in espionage or so on. He was the kind of man that could cold-bloodedly,
again and again, send people to their death, including people
he was familiar with and supposedly fond of."
David Talbot, author of the book
"The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise
of America's Secret Government"
"Allen Dulles, the Director
of the CIA under President Eisenhower, ordered the assassination
of Congolese President Patrice Lumumba in August 1960. Before
the CIA could act, Mobutu Sese Seko, Lumumba's private secretary,
intervened militarily and removed Lumumba from power."
David Model
"I.G. Farben was most famous
for putting the gas in gas chambers; it was the producer of Zyklon
B and other gasses used on victims of the Holocaust... The Bush
family hired Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, to hide
the funds they were making from Nazi investments and the funds
they were sending to Nazi Germany."
William Bowles
"The financing for Adolph
Hitler's rise to power was handled through the Warburg-controlled
Mendelsohn Bank of Amsterdam and later by the J. Henry Schroeder
Bank... Chief legal counsel to the J. Henry Schroeder Bank was
the firm of Sullivan and Cromwell whose senior partners included
John Foster and Allen Dulles."
Gary Allen in his book "None
Dare Call It Conspiracy"
"President Dwight Eisenhower,
named Allen Dulles CIA Director. Dulles' forte was overthrowing
governments and he was quite good at it. With coups in Iran (1953)
and Guatemala (1954) under his belt, Dulles was riding high in
the late Fifties and moved Cuba to the top of his to-do list."
Ray McGovern
"The CIA overlords of the Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion, Director
Allen Dulles and Deputy Richard Bissell had their own plan on
how to bring the United States into the conflict... What they
expected was that the invaders would establish a beachhead...
and appeal for aid from the United States."
journalist Daniel Schorr told National
Public Radio, March 2001
"As the de facto head of
the Warren Commission, CIA Director Allen Dulles was perfectly
positioned to exculpate himself and any of his associates, were
any commissioners or investigators or journalists tempted to question
whether the JFK killing in Dallas might have been a CIA covert
action."
Ray McGovern
"CIA Director Allen Dulles
and his brother Secretary of State John Foster Dulles were in
touch with the power elite, and a mere President [Eisenhower]
influenced them not at all."
L. Fletcher Prouty
"In the case of Vietnam,
the course followed by the U.S. government was established by
two international Wall Street lawyers, John Foster Dulles and
Allen Welch Dulles, among other, more invisible powers."
L. Fletcher Prouty
"A central focus of the
Averell Harriman security regime in Washington (1950-53) was the
organization of covert operations, and "psychological warfare."
Harriman, together with his lawyers and business partners, Allen
Dulles and John Foster Dulles, wanted the government's secret
services to conduct extensive propaganda campaigns and mass-psychology
experiments within the U.S.A., and paramilitary campaigns abroad.
This would supposedly ensure a stable world-wide environment favorable
to Anglo-American financial and political interests."
Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton
Chaitkin
"Allen Dulles, Richard
Helms, Carmel Offie and Frank WIsner were the grand masters. If
you were in a room with them, you were in a room ful of people
that you had to believe would deservedly end up in hell."
James Angleton, CIA Chief of Counterintelligence
"CIA Director Allen Dulles
had gone to see President Eisenhower as early as March 1960 seeking
approval to develop a plan to overthrow Fidel Castro. The original
idea for using Mafia figures to assist the CIA in this plan originated
as early as 1960."
Phillip F. Nelson
"Allen Dulles created the
CIA, assisted the Nazis, covered up the Kennedy assassination
from his Warren Commission perch and struck a deal with the Muslim
Brotherhood to create mind-controlled assassins. Brother John
Foster Dulles presided over the phony Goldman Sachs trusts before
the 1929 stock market crash and helped his brother overthrow governments
in Iran and Guatemala."
Dean Henderson
"John Foster Dulles was
an accomplished warmonger. In 1933, he and his brother Allen had
rushed to Cologne to meet with Adolf Hitler and guaranteed him
the funds to maintain the Nazi regime. The Dulles brothers were
representing their clients, Kuhn Loeb Co., and the Rothschilds."
Eustace C. Mullins
"Max Warburg, brother of
Kuhn-Loeb's Paul Warburg. ran a family financial powerhouse in
Frankfort, Germany... The Warburg connection is reported to have
helped the Axis powers financially. At the end of the war in 1919,
the Treaty of Versailles meetings were attended by Rothschild
connected men like Paul and Max Warburg, John Foster Dulles (of
Kuhn-Loeb), Colonel [Edward Mandell] House, Thomas Lamont (of
JP Morgan) and Allen Dulles (of Kuhn-Loeb). The harsh terms of
the Treaty of Versailles totally set the stage for World War II."

J.Edgar Hoover - Director of the
FBI 1924-1972
"That fellow [FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover] was a master blackmailer. The moment he would
get something on a senator he'd send one of the errand boys up
and advise the senator that we're in the course of an investigation
and by chance happened to come up with this data on your daughter.
But we wanted you to know this-we realize you'd want to know it.
But don't have any concern, no one will ever learn about it. Well,
Jesus, what does that tell the senator? From that time on, the
senator's right in his pocket."
William Sullivan, number three
in the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover to Los Angeles Times, 1973
"Martin Luther King is
the most notorious liar in the country."
J.Edgar Hoover - Director of the
FBI 1924-1972
"Never once did I hear
anybody, including myself, raise the question: 'Is this course
of action which we have agreed upon lawful, is it legal, is it
ethical or moral? ... We never gave any thought to this line of
reasoning... The one thing we were concerned about was this: Will
this course of action work, will it get us what we want?... As
far as legality is concerned, morals or ethics, [it] was never
raised... I think this suggests really in government that we are
amoral. In government ... the general atmosphere is one of amorality."
William Sullivan, number three
in the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover to Los Angeles Times, 1973
"I've always thought that
underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted.

good to prolong the session a little to apply another softening-up,

ARE NEOCONS PSYCHOPATHS
?
(a partial list)
Michael Ledeen / William Kristol
/ Richard Perle / John Bolton
"Everybody hates the Neocons,
not only a majority of the American people, but the entire planet.
And yet that numerically small group of people has somehow managed
to put everybody in danger, due to their ugly vindictiveness,
infinite arrogance and ideology-induced short-sightedness. That
this could ever have happened, and at a planetary scale, is a
dramatic testimony to the moral and spiritual decay of our civilization.
There is a reason why the Neocons thrive in times of crisis: it
allows them to hide behind the mayhem, especially when they are
the ones who triggered the mayhem in the first place. This means
that as long as the Neocons are anywhere near power they will
never allow peace to break out, lest the spotlight be suddenly
shined directly upon them. Chaos, wars, crises - this is their
natural habitat. Eventually, of course, they will be stopped and
they will be defeated, like all their predecessors in history.
But think of the price mankind will have to pay."
The Saker, 2017
"I think Vice President
Dick Cheney is insane. The neocons are insane. I don't know of
a sane one."

"The good Lord did not
see fit simply to put oil under those countries friendly to the
United States."
Vice-President Dick Cheney
"The lesson the neo-cons
learnt from the Iraq war is not that it was disastrous. It was
only disastrous for the dead and maimed Iraqis, our own dead and
maimed servicemen, and those whose country was returned to medievalism.
It was a great success for the neo-cons, they made loads of money
on armaments and oil. The lesson the neo-cons learned was not
to give the public in the West any time to mount and organise
opposition. Hence the destruction of Libya was predicated on an
entirely false "we have 48 hours to prevent the massacre
of the population of Benghazi" narrative. Similarly this
latest orchestrated Syria "crisis" is being followed
through into military action at a blistering pace, as the four
horsemen sweep by, scything down reason and justice on the way."
Craig Murray, 2018
"The Persian Gulf will
be a primary focus of U.S. international energy policy... American
efforts to obtain increased supplies of foreign oil will also
require the threat of or the use of force to dissuade hostile
forces from attempting to obstruct the flow of petroleum to the
United States. This, in turn, will require an enhanced U.S. capacity
to operate militarily in areas of likely fighting over oil."
Vice-President Dick Cheney
"The war on terrorism is
different than the Gulf War was, in the sense that it may never
end."
Vice-President Dick Cheney
"Neocons as a group were
founded by Jews and are largely Jewish, hence their universal
attachment to the state of Israel. They first rose into prominence
when they obtained a number of national security positions during
the Reagan Administration and their ascendancy was completed when
they staffed senior positions in the Pentagon and White House
under George W. Bush."
Philip Giraldi, 2017
"There is no doubt that
Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no
doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against
our allies, and against us."

"We know Saddam has been
absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we
believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
Vice-President Dick Cheney
"The Plan is for the United
States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but
it is ultimately a story of domination. It calls for the United
States to maintain its overwhelming superiority and prevent new
rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls
for dominion over friends and enemies alike. It says not that
the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but
that it must be absolutely powerful."
Vice-President Dick Cheney - lecture

ended quickly with few civilian casualties and with little damage

"Just as it is sometimes
necessary temporarily to resort to evil actions to achieve worthy
objectives, so a period of dictatorship is sometimes the only
hope for freedom.

measures', which few know how, or are willing, to employ."
neocon Michael Ledeen
"One can only hope that
we turn the region into a cauldron, and faster, please. If ever
there were a region that richly deserved being cauldronized, it
is the Middle East today. If we wage the war effectively, we will
bring down the terror regimes in Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and either
bring down the Saudi monarchy or force it to abandon its global
assembly line to indoctrinate young terrorists."
neocon Michael Ledeen
"Democracies will not sacrifice
to protect their security in the absence of a sense of danger.
And every time we create the impression that we and the Soviets
are cooperating and moderating the competition, we diminish that
sense of apprehension."

"No stages. This is total
war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them
out there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan,
then we will do Iraq, then we take a look around and see how things
stand. This is entirely the wrong way to go about it... If we
just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely,
and we don't try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just
wage a total war ... our children will sing great songs about
us years from now."

shelter and they're free from the horrible commanders they used
to work for. I think most of them are much happier, frankly."
neocon Paul Wolfowitz
"The Geneva Convention
is very clear on the rules for treating prisoners. They're not
supposed to be tortured or abused; they're not supposed to be
intimidated; they're not supposed to be made public displays of
humiliation or insult, and we're going to be in a position to
hold those Iraqi officials who are mistreating our prisoners accountable,
and they've got to stop."
neocon Paul Wolfowitz
"Our first objective is
to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival... This is a dominant

a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be
sufficient to generate global power... First the US must show
the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order
that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that
they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive
posture to protect their legitimate interests."

"The Project for a New
American Century (PNAC) plan was regime change throughout the
Middle East, starting with Baghdad, Damascus, Tehran, and rolling
on through the Middle East, ultimately even probably rolling on
to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The PNAC philosophy would use hard power, military power, principally,
to initiate this and even continue it if they found it was necessary
to do so. That keeps the military-industrial complex alive, it
keeps Halliburton alive, it keeps Lockheed alive, it keeps the
entire complex the United States had developed after the demise
of the Soviet Union, that I call the national security state,
alive and well."
Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief
of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell
"In the fall of 2000, a
year before 9/11, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld signed on to
a major study, Rebuilding America's Defenses, by the lobbying
group Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The study called
for a major increase in the defense budget, the removal of Saddam
Hussein from Iraq, and the maintenance of U.S. troops in the Gulf
area even after Saddam's disappearance.
The PNAC study was a blueprint for the George W. Bush foreign
policy that has been and still is being implemented. It also reflected
support from the private sector for the blueprint of full-spectrum
dominance."
Peter Dale Scott
"A reasonable assessment
of the events in the United States over the past 50 years or so
gives ample evidence of the application of the ideas in the "Protocols
of the Elders of Zion" in order to bring about the current
Neoconservative administration [Bush/Cheney]. Anyone who wishes
to understand what has happened in the U.S. needs to read the
"Protocols" to understand that some group of deviant
individuals took them to heart. The document, "Project For
A New American Century" produced by the Neoconservatives
reads as if it had been inspired by the same schizoidal worldview."

CENTURY "MONEY TRUST" BANKERS PSYCHOPATHS ?
Jacob Schiff / Paul Warburg / J.

"The powers of financial
capitalism had a 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 to be the Bank for International Settlements
[BIS] in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled
by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations
... Each central bank sought to dominate its government by its
ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges,
to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and
to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards
in the business world."
Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy
and Hope"
"Communism and socialism
are themselves forms of monopoly. The only difference is that
in this case, the monopoly is operated by the government. But
what if an international banker, through loans to the state, manipulation
of a central bank, campaign contributions, or bribes, is able
to achieve dominion over a government? In that case, he would
find socialism welcome, for it would serve him as an instrument
to control society."
James Perloff in his book "The
Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American
Decline"
"The Depression [1929]
was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence. The

all."

the U.S. House of Representatives' Banking and Currency Committee,

Nathan Rothschild - who controlled
the Bank of England - said this after the United States government
under President Andrew Jackson refused to renew the charter of
the privately owned and controlled Bank of the United States.

Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American

"During the past two centuries
when the peoples of the world were gradually winning their political
freedom from the dynastic monarchies, the major banking families
of Europe and America were actually reversing the trend by setting
up new dynasties of political control through the formation of
international financial combines. These banking dynasties had
learned that all governments must have sources of revenue from
which to borrow in times of emergency. They had also learned that
by providing such funds from their own private resources, they
could make both kings and democratic leaders tremendously subservient
to their will."
Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy
and Hope"
"Psychopaths litter history
with genocides and the destruction of entire nations and empires.
Historical examples include such monsters as Stalin, Pol Pot,
Ivan the Terrible, and Caligula. While there are many that make
it to the pinnacle of the political stage there are also such
historical figures as J.P. Morgan, Randolph Hearst, and Mayer
Rothschild, professional psychopaths that reach the pinnacle of
the financial stage where they cause no less misery and destruction
as their political counterparts."

"The lesson is clear: if
you are a thief, steal by the billions or trillions, and then
no one can do anything about it. If you are in the drug trade:
handle only billions (or hundreds of billions) in drug money,
and then you will get away with it. If you don't want to pay taxes,
be a member of the top 0.001% of the world's super-rich and hide
your billions in offshore tax-free accounts. If you want more,
create a global economic crisis, demand to be saved by the state
to the tune of tens of trillions of dollars, and then, tell the
state to punish their populations into poverty in order to pay
for your mistakes.
In other words, if you want to indulge your criminal fantasies,
lie and steal, profit from death and drugs, dominate and demand,
be king and command, become the highly-functioning socially-acceptable
sociopath you always knew you could be... think big. Think bank.
Serial killers, bank robbers and drug dealers go to jail; bankers
get bailouts and get an unlimited insurance policy called "too
big to fail."

ARE ROTHSCHILDS AND ROCKEFELLERS
PSYCHOPATHS ?
David Rockefeller / Jacob Rothschild
"We are ruled, though it may be difficult
to imagine, by a small dynastic power structure, largely consisting
of powerful banking families, such as the Rothschilds, Rockefellers,
and others. They emerged in controlling the financial system,
extended their influence over the political system, the educational
system, and, through the major foundations, have become the dominant
social powers of our world, creating think tanks and other institutions
which shape and change the course of society and modern human
history."
Andrew Gavin Marshall
"Rothschild-controlled
Barings Bank bankrolled the Chinese opium and African slave trades.
It financed the Louisiana Purchase. The House of Rothschild financed
the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize
the Suez Canal from the French. Nathan Rothschild made a huge
financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also
funding the Duke of Wellington's peninsular campaign against Napoleon.
Both the Mexican War and the Civil War were gold mines for the
family."
Dean Henderson in his book "Big

"Seven men in Wall Street
now control a great share of the fundamental industry and resources
of the United States... These powerful men were themselves answerable
to a foreign power which had been steadfastly seeking to extend
its control over the young republic of the United States since
its very inception. This power was the financial power of England,
centered in the London Branch of the House of Rothschild. The
fact was that in 1910, the United States was for all practical
purposes being ruled from England, and so it is today [1911]."
"The Seven Men" an article

"Some believe we are part
of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United
States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists"

great publications whose directors have attended our meetings
and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 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 supra-national sovereignty
of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable
to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

"We are going to have a
war on terror which you can never win, and so you can always keep

George Soros
"George Soros's relation
to the secretive international Rothschild finance circle represents
no ordinary or casual banking connection. It goes a long way toward
explaining the extraordinary success of a mere private speculator,
and Soros's uncanny ability to "gamble right" so many
times in such high-risk markets.
Soros has access to the "insider track" in some of the
most important government and private channels in the world."
Executive Intelligence Review Special
Report, 1997
"George Soros is part of
a circle ... linked to the financial side of the Israeli Mossad,
and to the family of Lord Jacob Rothschild.
Understandably, Soros and the Rothschild interests prefer to keep
their connection hidden far from public view, so as to obscure
the powerful friends Soros can claim in the City of London, the
British Foreign Office, Israel, and the U.S. financial establishment."
Executive Intelligence Review Special
Report, 1997
"George Soros is merely
the visible face of a vast network of private financial interests,
controlled by the leading aristocratic and royal families of Europe.
A secret cross-linked vast holding of private financial interests,
tied to the told aristocratic oligarchy of Western Europe, was
developed. It was in many ways modeled on the 17th-century British
or Dutch East India Company models."
F. William Engdahl
"George Soros is not only
one of the world's leading mega-speculators; throughout his entire
life he has served as an "errand boy" for the Anglo-American
monetarist establishment, running looting operations against the
nations of Eastern Europe, as well as attacks against the sovereignty
of nations... Through his Open Society Foundations, George Soros
positioned himself, long before communism fell, as the man who,
on behalf of Anglo-American banking interests and the IMF, tried
to put into place the mechanism for the economic and political
"transition" to occur in the Eastern European countries."

"George Soros proposed

"A global financial cabal
engineered a fraudulent housing and debt bubble [2008], illegally
shifted vast amounts of capital out of the US; and used 'privatization'

back to government at no cost to the private liability holder...
Clearly, there was a global financial coup d'etat underway."

"The relationship between
the banking system and the mafia started in the 1960s and '70s.
In the '60s and '70s, the mafia basically handled cash in large

and with some other affiliations, but it was limited in size."

"The merger between banks
and drug groups materialized as a result of two-way traffic. World-class
banks seek out money globally and offer to drug lords the services
in the form of whitewashing cash and investing it in legal sectors
of the economy. The drug cartels, in turn, regard the banking
sector as a priority investment niche."

Andrew Gavin Marshall
"Goldman Sachs' influence
extends beyond the ability of its analysts and traders to drive
stock or bond prices up and down, as they do daily with the reports
they write and the decisions they make to buy or sell securities...
It creates new financial instruments that shape the global marketplace,
it can make or break the CEOs and government ministers who regularly
pass through its doors looking for capital and for "buy"
recommendations linked to their decisions, and it serves as the
hub of an international network of deal makers."
David Rothkopf
"There is a special breed
of international financiers whose success typically is built upon
certain character traits. Those include cold objectivity, immunity
to patriotism, and indifference to the human condition. That profile
is the basis for proposing a theoretical strategy, called the
Rothschild Formula, which motivates such men to propel governments
into war for the profits they yield... As long as the mechanism
of central banking exists, it will be to such men an irresistible
temptation to convert debt into perpetual war and war into perpetual
debt."
G. Edward Griffin in his book "The
Creature from Jekyll Island"
"The merger between banks
and the drug-supplying groups began roughly four centuries ago.
In Great Britain, the alliance comprised the British East India

"The United States has
entered the ranks of the failed states. One of the most remarkable
manifestations of a failed state is that the criminals are all
inside the government operating against the people, whereas in

a failed state, with the government in the hands of a few Wall
Street gangsters."
Paul Craig Roberts
"Bank CEOs represent their
shareholders, they're appointed by the board of directors to make
money for their shareholders. And the way they think that they
can best make money is to shape the regulatory rules around housing
around derivatives,.. everything we used to have that kept the
financial sector under control has all been washed away, one way
or another, by their efforts. They make money in the boom. And
when bad things happen, they shove all the downside onto the taxpayer."
Simon Johnson, former Chief Economist
at the International Monetary Fund
"The financial and political
crises which have rocked the United States and Europe since 2008
occurred because people with dangerous personality disorders were
able to rise to positions of power within financial institutions
and effectively bankrupt much of the western world.
... Once in positions of authority, these individuals simply did
what comes naturally to them. They pursued their own self-interest
with no regard for the consequences of their actions."

Simon Johnson, former Chief Economist
at the International Monetary Fund
"There is a transnational
ruling class, a "Superclass", that agrees on establishing
a world government. The middle class is targeted for elimination,
because most of the world has no middle class, and to fully integrate
and internationalize a middle class, would require industrialization
and development in Africa, and certain places in Asia and Latin
America. The goal of the Superclass is not to lose their wealth
and power to a transnational middle class, but rather to extinguish
the notion of a middle class, and transnationalize a lower, uneducated,
labor oriented class, through which they will secure ultimate
wealth and power.
The global economic crisis serves these ends, as whatever remaining
wealth the middle class holds is in the process of being eliminated,
and as the crisis progresses, the middle classes of the world
will suffer, while a great percentage of lower classes of the
world, poverty-stricken even prior to the crisis, will suffer
the greatest, most probably leading to a massive reduction in
population levels, particularly in the "underdeveloped"
or "Third World" states."

"One of the characteristics
of tyranny is the monitoring and surveillance of citizens. Done
primarily as a means of control, this has existed in every authoritarian
state, not to mention totalitarian dictatorship, which seeks total
control of the population. The defense is almost always based
on national security grounds."
William F. Pepper in his book "An
Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"
"Nesting within the executive
is that most virulent purveyor of state power: the national security
state, an informal configuration that usually includes the Executive
Office of the White House, special White House planning committees,
the sixteen intelligence agencies, the Pentagon, Joint Chiefs
of Staff, director of national intelligence, National Security
Council, and other such units engaged in surveillance, suppression,
covert action, and forceful interventions abroad and at home.
The president operates effectively as head of the national security
state as long as he stays within the parameters of its primary
dedication - which is to advance the interests of corporate investors
and protect the overall global capital accumulation process."
Michael Parenti
"A nearly seamless political
transition to fascism is well underway in the United States. The
mass media, the electoral machinery, and both major political
parties are under corporate control... The Constitution and its
Bill of Rights are being rendered meaningless by plans for perpetual
war, by presidential signing statements and the theory of the
unitary executive, extraordinary rendition, government surveillance
programs and the like. Programs based on democratic principles
like the public schools, Social Security, and Medicare are being
starved to death... Blackwater is the growing private military
force of the ruling class, protecting them in Baghdad and patrolling
the streets of New Orleans for them now. Because there are too
many sons and daughters of the working class in the US military
it can not be trusted by the bourgeoisie when the order is given
to attack the American people. Likely the two militaries will
one day face each other in combat."
Malcolm Martin
"The two greatest visions
of a future dystopia were George Orwell's "1984" and
Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." The debate, between
those who watched our descent towards corporate totalitarianism,
was who was right. Would we be, as Orwell wrote, dominated by
a repressive surveillance and security state that used crude and
violent forms of control? Or would we be, as Huxley envisioned,
entranced by entertainment and spectacle, captivated by technology
and seduced by profligate consumption to embrace our own oppression?
It turns out Orwell and Huxley were both right. Huxley saw the
first stage of our enslavement. Orwell saw the second."

"The middle classes will
vanish and poverty will reign supreme, while the rich become immeasurably
richer and more powerful. Naturally, people will rise up, take
to the streets, protest, demonstrate, riot, even rebel and revolt.
As sure as the people will resist, the state will repress with
police, the military and the 'Homeland Security State' apparatus
of surveillance and control. Make no mistake: this is the 'Thirdworldization'
of the West: the 'Post-Industrial Revolution'."

"Our military organization
today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors
in peace time, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or
Korea.
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had
no armaments industry. American makers of ploughshares could,
with time as required, make swords as well. But now we can no
longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have
been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast
proportions.
... This conjunction of an immense military establishment and
a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total
influence - economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every
city, every state house, and every office of the federal government.
We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we
must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.
... In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition
of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial
complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power
exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our
liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for
granted; only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel
the proper meshing of huge industrial and military machinery of
defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security
and liberty may prosper together."
President Dwight Eisenhower's Farewell
Address
"I spent 33 years in the
Marines, most of my time being a high-class muscle man for big

Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic
instability. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations."

"By one estimate, as many
as four million Muslims have died or been killed as a result of
the ongoing conflicts that Washington has either initiated or
been party to since 2001.
There are, in addition, millions of displaced persons who have
lost their homes and livelihoods, many of whom are among the human
wave currently engulfing Europe. There are currently an estimated
2,590,000 refugees who have fled their homes from Afghanistan,
370,000 from Iraq, 3,880,000 million from Syria, and 1,100,000
from Somalia. The United Nations Refugee Agency is expecting at
least 130,000 refugees from Yemen as fighting in that country
accelerates. Between 600,000 and one million Libyans are living
precariously in neighboring Tunisia.
... Significantly, the countries that have generated most of the
refugees are all places where the United States has invaded, overthrown
governments, supported insurgencies, or intervened in a civil
war."

"I would have dropped 30

I would have introduced half a million Chinese Nationalist troops

of Japan to the Yellow Sea -- a [five mile wide] belt of radioactive
cobalt ... it has an active life of between 60 and 120 years.
For at least 60 years there could have been no land invasion of
Korea from the North. I am certain that the Russians would have

by the use of DU [depleted uranium] shells include: the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights; the Charter of the United Nations;
the Genocide Convention; the Convention Against Torture; and the
four Geneva Conventions of 1949, which expressly forbid employing
"poison or poisoned weapons" and "arms, projectiles
or materials calculated to cause unnecessary suffering."
All of these laws are designed to spare civilians from unwarranted

"The US dropped 88,000
tons of bombs on Iraq during the Gulf War and has rained down
countless more bombs since. Many bombs were tipped with armor
piercing depleted uranium (DU) warheads, which may account for
chronic Iraqi health problems... Three hundred tons of DU ammunition
was deployed during the war.
... Many believe DU [depleted uranium] is responsible for Gulf
War Syndrome, which has killed and permanently injured many US
soldiers who fought in the Persian Gulf theater. Since 2000, nearly
11,000 US Gulf War veterans have died from Gulf War Syndrome."
Dean Henderson
"The military function
of the war system serves simply to defend or advance the 'national
interest' by means of organized violence. It is often necessary
for a national military establishment to create a need for its
unique powers... And a healthy military apparatus requires regular
'exercise', by whatever rationale seems expedient, to prevent
its atrophy."

"I spent thirty-three years
in the Marines, most of my time being a hlgh class muscle man
for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I
was a racketeer for capitalism.
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house
of Brown Brothers in 1910-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially
Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I brought light
to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916.
I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City
[Bank] boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the rape of half
a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street.
In China in 1927 l helped to see to it that Standard Oil went
its way unmolested.
I had a swell racket. l was rewarded with honors, medals, promotions.

on three continents."

"Approximately 60,000 military
personnel were used as human subjects in the 1940s to test two
chemical agents, mustard gas and lewisite [blister gas]. Most
of these subjects were not informed of the nature of the experiments
and never received medical follow-up after their participation
in the research. Additionally, some of these human subjects were
threatened with imprisonment at Fort Leavenworth if they discussed
these experiments with anyone, including their wives, parents,
and family doctors. For decades, the Pentagon denied that the
research had taken place, resulting in decades of suffering for
many veterans who became ill after the secret testing."

Pentagon signed more than 3,000 contracts with U.S. based firms
valued at $300 billion. Military Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI)
one of the largest companies operating in Iraq was given the contract
for ROTC training in almost 200 universities. The company's Virginia
headquarters displayed a plaque which read: "War is an ugly
thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded
state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing
is worth war is much worse".
MPRI trained the security forces of numerous authoritarian regimes,
including Equatorial Guinea in a contract that was approved by
the State Department after dictator Teodoro Obiang granted concessions
for off-shore drilling to Exxon-Mobil. It also trained Rwandan
Patriotic Front (RPF) and Ugandan fighters linked to major human
rights abuses in Congo. A senior embassy staffer described the
program there as "killers training killers"."

General Curtis E. LeMay - about
the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War
"The Joint Chiefs of Staff
drew up and approved plans [Operation Northwoods] for ... launching
a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country
in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived
war they intended to launch against Cuba.
Code named Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written
approval of the Chairman [General Lyman Lemnitzer] and every member
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be
shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing
Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism
to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People
would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would
be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on
Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well
as the public and international backing, they needed to launch
their war."

"The US military's decision

Tom Eley, WSWS
"General Lyman Lemnitzer
approved the plans known as Operation Northwoods in 1962, a proposed
plan to discredit the Fidel Castro regime and create support for
military action against Cuba by staging false flag acts of terrorism
and developing "a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the
Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington".
Lemnitzer presented the plans to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara
on March 13, 1962, but three days later President Kennedy told
the general that there was no chance that the US would take military
action against Cuba. Within a few months, after the refusal to
endorse Operation Northwoods, Lemnitzer was denied another term
as JCS chairman. Author Richard Cottrell suspects Lemnitzer of
the key role in the Kennedy assassination, out of revenge for
the demotion and for being soft on communism."

"Following World War II,
masquerading as a rear guard against Soviet invaders, NATO's covert
forces warped into psychological and physical terrorism. These
were the years of lead, in which hundreds perished in a synthetic
war in the streets of Europe. NATO commander General Lyman Lemnitzer
ordered serial attacks on French president Charles de Gaulle.
The secret armies forged bonds with organized crime and neo-fascists.
NATO-backed coups struck down governments in Greece and Turkey;
the island state of Cyprus was sundered amid bitter genocide.
Urban guerrillas like the Red Brigades and the Baader-Meinhof
Gang were cunningly manipulated. Italy gained a deep-state government,
the ultra-secret P2 pseudo-Masonic lodge, founded by former Blackshirts.
Swedish premier Olof Palme and Italian ex-PM Aldo Moro were assassinated.
Pope John Paul II was shot by Turkish gangsters who had regular
work as Gladio guns for hire. In 2009, a Gladio copy-cat outfit
codenamed Ergenekon came to light in Turkey. The shootings in
Norway in July 2011, and in Belgium, France and Italy in 2012,
all bore the classic stripe of Gladio false-flag operations."

Edward Teller, nuclear physicist

"Under Operation GLADIO,
the Pentagon together with the CIA, MI6 and NATO, set up and operated
stay-behind armies as an instrument to manipulate and control
the democracies of Western Europe - unknown to European populations
and parliaments. This strategy lead to terror and fear. The stay-behind
network, in the absence of a Soviet invasion, functioned as a
straightjacket for the democracies of Western Europe. In some
operations, the secret stay-behind soldiers together with the
secret military services, monitored left-wing politicians and
spread anti-Communist propaganda. In more violent operations the
secret war led to bloodshed. Tragically the secret warriors linked
up with right-wing terrorists, a combination that led - in some
countries including at least Belgium, Italy, France, Portugal,
Spain, Greece and Turkey - to massacres, torture, coup d'etats
and other violent acts. Most of these state-sponsored terrorist
operations enjoyed the encouragement and protection of selected
highly placed government and military officials in Europe and
in the United States The stay-behind network had served as a tool
to spread fear amongst the population in the absence of an invasion.
The secret armies in some cases functioned as an almost perfect
manipulation system that transported the fears of high-ranking
military officers in the Pentagon and NATO to the populations
in Western Europe. European citizens, as the strategists in the
Pentagon saw it, due to their limited vision were unable to perceive
the real and present danger of Communism, and therefore they had
to be manipulated. By killing innocent citizens on market squares
or in supermarkets and blaming the crime on the Communists the
secret armies together with right-wing terrorists effectively
translated the fears of Pentagon strategists into very real fears
of European citizens."
Swiss historian Daniele Ganser
in his 2004 book "NATO's Secret Armies"
"Operation GLADIO was
a clandestine Cold War operation, run by European secret services,
collaborating with NATO, the CIA and Britain's MI6 and Secret
Intelligence Service (SIS) against a possible Soviet invasion,
internal communist takeovers, or the political left gaining power.
The network included France, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Denmark,
Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Luxemburg,
as well as politically neutral European countries Austria, Finland,
Sweden and Switzerland.
Named "Gladio" (Latin for double-edged sword), NATO's
armies remained secret until August 1990, when then Prime Minister
Giulio Andreotti confirmed Italy's participation in testimony
before a Senate subcommittee investigating terrorism.
... A 2000 Italian parliamentary investigation concluded that
GLADIO operatives linked to the structures of United States intelligence
were involved in bombings, massacres, and other terrorist attacks
as part of a campaign against the political left."

"We in the U.S. military
are held to a high standard. Like the early Romans, we are expected
to do the right thing, and when we don't, to make it right again
... And it's why each civilian casualty for which we are even
remotely responsible sets back our efforts to gain the confidence
of the Afghan people, months, if not years. It doesn't matter
how hard we try to avoid hurting the innocent, and we do try very
hard. It doesn't matter how proportional the force we deploy,
how precisely we strike. It doesn't even matter if the enemy hides
behind civilians. What matters are the death and destruction that
result and the expectation that we could have avoided it ... Lose
the people's trust, and we lose the war ... I see this sort of
trust being fostered by our troops all over the world. They are
building schools, roads, wells, hospitals and power stations.
They work every day to build the sort of infrastructure that enables
local governments to stand on their own. But mostly, even when
they are going after the enemy, they are building friendships.
They are building trust. And they are doing it in superb fashion."
Michael Mullen, chairman of the

because they experience no horror while killing (or while ordering
killing) and no guilt after the deed is done.

shoot him dead is unusual, and in war, valuable."

"Psychology can provide
the military with techniques to make killers out of nonkillers,
and the military is using these procedures.
... Because its essence is killing, war is
the ultimate contest between conscience and authority. Our seventh

conscience and a soldier is induced to kill in combat, he is very
likely to suffer post-traumatic stress disorder immediately and
for the remainder of his life."

SURVEILLANCE AGENCIES
NSA (National Security Agency)
"The surveillance capability
at any time could be turned around on the American people and
no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability
to monitor everything... There would be no place to hide. If this
government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge
in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence
community has given the government could enable it to impose total
tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back, because the
most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government,
no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the
government to know. Such is the capability of this technology.
... I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge.
I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America,
and we must see to it that this agency [NSA] and all agencies
that possess this technology operate within the law and under
proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That
is the abyss from which there is no return."
Senator Frank Church, 1975
"Surveillance machines
are going to get smarter. They're already starting to recognise
people's faces in the street, and systems that spot abnormal behavior
will not be far behind... a sophisticated visual security system
that predicts when a crime is about to be committed... Once connected
to such intelligent systems, closed-circuit television (CCTV)
will shift from being a mainly passive device for gathering evidence
after a crime, to a tool for crime prevention... The system works
by detecting any behaviors that deviate from the 'normal' range
of human behavior: the computer recognises them as pattems. If
anyone deviates from these patterns, the system sounds the alarm...
it spots any abnormal behavior."

US Supreme Court Justice William
O.Douglas,
"War or the threat of war
provides both atmosphere and the justification for a variety of
government strategies - encroachment on civil liberties, manic
surveillance of the population, a climate of fear and jingoism
that makes mild dissent seem gross treachery - strategies designed
to disarm and destroy internal opposition rather than the external
enemy."
Paul O'Flynn
"The government claims
that all surveillance and other activities ceased after the exposure
of illegal domestic intervention by the FBI in the early 1970s,
but this is a lie. Throughout the 1980s, Central America solidarity
activists in the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El
Salvador had their offices broken into and files stolen. In 1990,
two environmental activists in Earth First!, Judi Ban and Darryl
Cherney, were seriously injured when their car exploded from a
pipe bomb believed to be planted by the FBI and police.
... Every state uses domestic surveillance and repression against
those who seek to challenge its policies and power. Even the most
democratic governments create legal loopholes that allow them
to suspend democratic rights when "national security"
is threatened, i.e., when their power and the propertied interests
they represent are called into question."
Sherry Wolf
"Too many people have been
spied upon by too many government agencies and too much information
has been collected. The government has often undertaken the secret
surveillance of citizens on the basis of their political beliefs,
even when those beliefs pose no threat of violence or illegal
acts on behalf of a hostile foreign power .... Investigations
have been based upon vague standards whose breadth made excessive
collection inevitable. Unsavory and vicious tactics have been
employed - including anonymous attempts to break up marriages,
disrupt meetings, ostracize persons from their professions, and
provoke target groups into rivalries that might result in deaths.
Intelligence agencies have served the political and personal objectives
of presidents and other high officials ... Government officials
- including those whose principal duty is to enforce the law -
have violated or ignored the law over long periods of time and
have advocated and defended their right to break the law."

I think all of us will be the victims."

surveillance of him by the Nixon Administration
US Army Military Intelligence
Groups (MIGs) ... employed 798 army officers and 1,532 civilians
including 67 black undercover agents. Of this total force, 1,576
were directly involved in domestic intelligence gathering, and
of these "spies," some 260 were civilians.
The MIG officers were responsible for eye-to-eye surveillance
operations which included audio and visual recordings of people
and events designated as targets. Dr King was a target and throughout
the last year of his life was under surveillance by one or another
MIG team."
William F. Pepper in his book "An
Act of State: the Execution of Martin Luther King"
"In a future America, enhanced
retinal recognition could be married to omnipresent security cameras
as a part of the increasingly routine monitoring of public space.
Military surveillance equipment, tempered to a technological cutting
edge in counterinsurgency wars, might also one day be married
to the swelling domestic databases of the NSA and FBI, sweeping
the fiber-optic cables beneath our cities for any sign of subversion.
And in the skies above, loitering aircraft and cruising drones
could be checking our borders and peering down on American life.
... However detached from the wars being fought in their name
most Americans may seem, war itself never stays far from home
for long. It's already returning in the form of new security technologies
that could one day make a digital surveillance state a reality,
changing fundamentally the character of American democracy."

2,590,000 refugees who have fled their homes from Afghanistan,
370,000 from Iraq, 3,880,000 million from Syria, and 1,100,000
from Somalia. The United Nations Refugee Agency is expecting at
least 130,000 refugees from Yemen as fighting in that country
accelerates. Between 600,000 and one million Libyans are living

hardly be surprising that the military institutions in each society
claim its highest priorities."

ARE CORPORATIONS PSYCHOPATHIC
?
"The money and power of
a corporation attract psychopaths. In a corporate environment
they have many advantages over their non-psychopathic competitors
for promotion. Not surprisingly most corporations end up being
run by psychopaths. As with a criminal gang a corporation's culture
adopts the twisted values of its leaders. Those who would seek
employment must likewise adopt or at least appear to adopt the
corporation's essentially psychopathic mindset."
Stefan H. Verstappen
"Corrupt corporations feed
on money and power, The former comes in part from the US Treasury
and ultimately from the general public. To maintain this flow
they seek power. The government is where the power is. Individual
psychopaths rely on their personality and manipulativeness to
get what they need from another person. Psychopathic corporations
face a more complex task. They have to influence all three branches
of our government, the legislative, the judiciary and the executive,
to go along with survival tactics motivated by greed rather than
the welfare of the public. Corporations have been in business
a long time and have succeeded admirably. We have created a new
generation of robber barons but this time they are playing for
much higher stakes. The pathological fallout is no longer limited
to our own borders. Their reach extends globally, involving us
politically, environmentally and militarily with countries rich
and poor. Illness knows no geographical limits."

"There seems to be nothing

the planet and subjecting humanity to the dictatorship of capital."
Christian la Brie in an artilce
in Le Monde Diplomatique
"The transnational corporations
carry on inexorably. Increasingly flagless and stateless, they
weave global webs of production, commerce, culture and finance
virtually unopposed. They expand, invest and grow, concentrating
ever more wealth in a limited number of hands. They work in coalition
to influence local, national and international institutions and
laws. And together with the governments of their home countries
in Europe, North America and Japan, as well as international institutions
such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the International
Monetary Fund and increasingly, the United Nations, they are molding
an international system in which they can trade and invest even
more freely--a world where they are less and less accountable
to the cultures, communities and nation-states in which they operate.
Underpinning this effort is not the historical inevitability of
an evolving, enlightened civilization, but rather the unavoidable
reality of the overriding corporate purpose: the maximization
of profits."
Sierra Club
"There are more than 60,000
transnational corporations in the world. More than fifty of the
largest one-hundred economies in the world are corporations. Transnational
corporations hold ninety percent of all technology and product
patents worldwide. Transnational corporations are involved in
70 percent of world trade.
The top 737 of these super-corporations or "super-entities"
control 80% of the world economy.
The top 147 super-corporations or "super-entities" control
40% of the global economy through direct and indirect ownership
or controlling interest.
Hundreds of companies that own the stocks and bonds of each other
- they collectively own themselves. Hence, it becomes nearly impossible
to trace the roots of ownership and control. From their relative
obscurity, they wield enormous control of national and global
economies."

"This empire that we've
created really has an emperor, and it's not the president of this
country... it doesn't really matter whether we have a Democrat
or a Republican in the White House or running Congress; the empire
goes on, because it's really run by what I call the corporatocracy,
which is a group of men who run our biggest corporations. This
isn't a conspiracy theory. They don't need to conspire. They all
know what serves their best interest. But they really are the
equivalent of the emperor, because they do not serve at the wish
of the people, they're not democratically elected, they don't
serve any limited term. They essentially answer to no one, except
their own boards, and most corporate CEOs actually run their boards,
rather than the other way around."

'The Daily Take' - Thom Hartmann,

"It is no secret that the
Koch brothers and others of the super-rich seem to have undertaken
a final push to consolidate control through the conversion of
a marginally democratic to an essentially fascist state; extreme
right-wing, authoritarian, and demagogic. This kind of government
is ideal for control of a populace by the moneyed elite. To carry
this out requires the employment of many 'kept' politicians to
excite and misdirect scared and angry and ignorant
voters. Lest the citizenry realize who stole their money and storm
their castles with torches, the rapacious elite need politicians
who will carry out the work of re-directing anger at teachers,
or labor unions, or the poor."

"Water is the most important
raw material we have today in the world. The question is should
we privitize the normal water supply of the population. And there
are two different options on the matter. The one opinion which
I think is extreme is represented by the NGOs who declare water
is a public right. That means that as a human being you should
have a right to water. That's an extreme solution. And the other
view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any
other foodstuff it should have a market value. Personally I believe
it is better to give a foodstuff a value so that we are all aware
that it has its price."

The situation is like the tobacco industry. They knew about it
but they suppressed that information. They created misleading
evidence that showed that the problem wasn't so serious. And all
the time they knew how bad it was. Tobacco is bad enough. But
genetic modification, if it is going to be problematic, if it
is going to cause us real health problems, then tobacco will be
nothing in comparison with this. The size of genetic modification

preservative in vaccines is likely related to the autism epidemic.
This epidemic in all probability may have been prevented or curtailed
had the FDA not been asleep at the switch regarding the lack of
safety data regarding injected thimerosal and the sharp rise of
infant exposure to his known neurotoxin. Our public health agencies'
failure to act is indicative of institutional malfeasance for
self-protection and misplaced protectionism of the pharmaceutical
industry."

"You couldn't even construct
a study that shows Thimerosal is safe. It's just too damn toxic.
If you inject Thimerosal into an animal, its brain will sicken.
If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it
in a petri dish, the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would
be shocking if one culd inject it into an infant without coausing
damage.
...The biological case against Thimerosal is so dramatically overwhelming
anymore that only a very foolish or a very dishonest person with
the credentials to understand this research would say that Thimerosal
wan't most likely the cause of autism.

One World Government is what we need. But mainly these are nasty
people with a lust for money and a ruthless disregard for human
suffering. Sadly this is all made possible by a mainstream media
that is owned and controlled by these very forces. Because the
people who own media choose wherever it is that the light is to
be shone. So the same stories and the same sound bites across
six media conglomerates constitutes what the public is to learn
about their world and their country."
Chris Pratt from his movie "Deception"
"Establishment journalists
and media stars are not on the outside of the establishment, they
are members of the establishment. They work for the largest corporations.

the idea that the establishment is functioning properly. And so,

in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of
the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar
salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish
as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking
for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in
one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation
would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie
outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon,

"Representative democracy,
exercised within the context of the separation of church and state,
and the protection of individual human rights, can act as safeguards

"Since most if not all
'great' religions are constructed on falsehoods, compulsive liars
make the perfect proselytizers. A look at recently created religions
such as Mormonism and Scientology show their founders, Joseph
Smith and L. Ron Hubbard respectively, were at least compulsive
liars, and more likely full-blown psychopaths. Charismatic cult
leaders such as Jim Jones and Sung Yung Moon were indeed psychopaths,
while televangelist preachers that rake in millions from their
gullible flocks are at best con artists of the highest caliber."

"The Party seeks power
entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of
others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury
or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.
We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that
we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled
ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the
Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but
they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They
pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power
unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner
there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.
We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with
the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is
an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard
a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the
dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object
of torture is torture. The object of power is power."
George Orwell in his book "1984"
"Paul Kagame's toll of
victims, first in Rwanda and then in Zaire-DRC, runs into the
millions, and exceeds that of Idi Amin by a factor of at least
five. And yet, in one of the miracles of modern propaganda, Kagame
became a savior-modernizer-moral giant for the U.S., U.K., and
Canadian establishment to admire. This favorable portrayal of
Kagame flows from the fact that he served U.S. and other powerful
interests in clearing out adversarial regimes that were under
strong French influence, assuring U.S. dominance in the African
Great Lakes region, and easier access to its resources."

"On April 6, 1994 the Hutu
presidents of Rwanda and Burundi, Juvenal Habyarimana and Cyprien
Ntaryamira, and General Nsabimana, the Rwandan Army Chief of Staff,
as well as several other dignitaries and a French flight crew
were murdered when the plane they were on was shot down over Kigali
airport by anti-aircraft missiles fired by members of the Tutsi-led
Rwanda Patriotic Front, or RPF, with the assistance of the governments
of several countries. Paul Kagame, the leader of the RPF junta
now in control of Rwanda, and who was seen with US Army soldiers
at his headquarters two days before the event, gave the final
order for the shoot down but he did so with the assistance or
complicity of the governments of the United States of America,
Britain, Belgium, Canada, and Uganda. It was the United States
and its allies, hoping to gain total control of the resources
of Central Africa through their proxies in the Tutsi RPF, that
provided the military support for the RPF invasion of Rwanda from
Uganda beginning in 1990, flowing that support through Uganda."

"Paul Kagame, the hero
of the official story of Rwanda's genocide, was almost certainly
the biggest war criminal to have emerged from those horrifying
events. Kagame led the Tutsis' main militia, the RPF. He almost
certainly ordered the shooting down of the Rwandan president's
plane, the trigger for a civil war that quickly escalated into
a genocide; on the best estimates, his RPF was responsible for
killing 80% of the 1 million who died inside Rwanda, making the
Hutus, not the Tutsis, the chief victims; and his subsequent decision
to extend the civil war into neighbouring Congo, where many Hutu
civilians had fled to escape the RPF, led to the deaths of up
to 5 million more."

Rwandan genocide, Paul Kagame, is the President of Rwanda.
Western governments and media have covered up his crimes and praise
him as a great humanitarian who has healed Rwanda and is totally
supported by the people. The truth is that Kagame has proved himself
a worse totalitarian that Hitler, Stalin, and Poll Pot combined.
He has turned Rwanda into a fear-ridden psychological prison.
Paul Kagame is a genocidist who has killed more than five times
as many people as Idi Amin."

"In Africa ... the absence
of properly functioning states leaves individuals at the mercy
of thugs and thieves, whether in the form of the brutality of
armed militias or the corruption of government officials... The
persistence of poverty in Africa is thwarting attempts to achieve
the levels of health and education, the cultures of freedom and
autonomy, the institutions of law and democratic governance, and
the conditions for sustainable economic growth which are needed
to finally remove the continent's pathological elites from power.
... Africa will need assistance to escape the tyranny of its pathological
elites. A necessary first step is for rich nations to cease assisting
Africa's psychopaths, by refraining from hiding their fortunes
in Western banks and from selling arms to tyrants to terrorise
their own populations."

continues to live and work freely in the world, unthreatened by
"international justice", celebrated as the Abe Lincoln

and honored in the United States, Britain, and Canada, shows us
unambiguously that when the events in Rwanda 1994 are at issue,

for Arab aristocrats by cultivating allies that included a shah
(Iran), sultans (Abu Dhabi, Oman), emirs (Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,

vast, volatile region from Morocco to Iran, Washington courted
these royalist regimes with military alliances, U.S. weapons systems,

genocide" by assassinating the former Rwandan President and
launching an assault to seize power within minutes after shooting
down President Habyarimana's plane [in]1994.
... Because Kagame's Rwanda crimes were covered-up by the U.S.
in 1994, and because he was not prosecuted at the ICTR [International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda] for the assassination of the previous
president in 1994, he has been free to rape the Congo of its riches

He was fully aware that the assassination of Habyarimana would
unleash "a genocide" against Tutsi civilians.

were an integral part of US foreign policy, carefully staged in

"At the center of oligarchy
is the idea that certain families are born to rule as an arbitrary
elite, while the vast majority of any given population is condemned
to oppression, serfdom, or slavery. Oligarchs identify wealth
purely in money terms, and practice usury, monetarism, and looting.
... The essence of oligarchism is summed up in the idea of the
empire, in which an elite identifying itself as a master race
rules over a degraded mass of slaves or other oppressed victims.
If oligarchical methods are allowed to dominate human affairs,
they always create a breakdown crisis of civilization, with economic
depression, war, famine, plague, and pestilence. A pillar of the
oligarchical system is the family fortune. The continuity of the
family fortune which earns money through usury and looting is
often more important than the biological continuity across generations
of the family that owns the fortune."

"The Black Nobility are
the oligarchic families of Venice and Genoa, who in the 12th century
held privileged trading rights (monopolies). The first of three
crusades, from 1063 to 1123, established the power of the Venetian
Black Nobility and solidified the power of the wealthy ruling
class. In 1204 the oligarchic families parceled out feudal enclaves
to their members, and from this date, they built up power until
government became a closed corporation of the leading Black Nobility
families.
The European Black Nobility is responsible for the insidious entanglements
of numerous secret societies and organizations, which are backed
with high finance and powerful political connections. Such organizations
include: Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR), United Nations, International Monetary Fund (IMF),

who have attempted to curb this monstrosity have all been defeated
by their limited tenure of confidence. Obligated to show action
and results in a too short span of years, they have been outwitted

obliged to temporize and retreat. There are few who have opposed

everything from vaccines to ventolin, insulin to incubators and
intubators, paper to pencils, female hygiene appliances, to aids
for children at the schools for the blind and deaf. A further

"Tony Blair is a glorified
salesman, selling the same snake oil to different customers.
First, he is [in Israel] to provide a façade of Western
concern about mending the Middle East. He suggests that the West
is committed to action even as it fails to intervene and the situation
of the Palestinians generally, and those in Gaza in particular,
deteriorates rapidly. He sells us the continuing dispossession
of the Palestinians in a bottle labelled "peace".
He is also here as a sort of European proconsul to advise the
Americans on how to repackage their policies. The US has become
aware that it has lost all credibility with the rest of the world
on this issue. Blair's job is to redesign the bottle labelled
"US honest broker" so that we will be prepared to buy
the product again.
His next task is to try to wheedle out of Israel any minor concession
he can secure on behalf of the Palestinians and persuade Tel Aviv
to cooperate in selling an empty bottle labelled "hope"
as a breakthrough in the peace process.
And finally, he is here to create the impression that his chief
task is to defend the interests of the Palestinians. To this end,
he collects the three bottles, puts them in some pretty wrapping
paper and writes on the label "Palestinian state"."

going blind from a lack of vitamins. "I cannot tolerate this,"
said an anguished doctor in a Saigon paediatric hospital, as we
looked at a dying boy. Oxfam and Save the Children had made clear
to the British government the gravity of the emergency. An embargo
led by the US had forced up the local price of a kilo of milk
up to ten times that of a kilo of meat. Many children could have

... Like all bullies, Churchill despised anyone weaker than him,
while sucking up to any potentate more vicious and iron-hearted.
He was never interested in a fair fight, with anybody, a tendency
he took to mystifying extremes in his war planning. And nowhere
was this more clear than in his prewar sympathies toward the worst
fascists imaginable. Churchill admired Benito Mussolini and Adolf
Hitler.
... The subsequent myth-making undertaken by Churchill-of him,
alone, as the sole man standing up to fascism in the dark interwar
period-is not merely a lie, hatched later to launder his image.
It obscures his sympathies to the same forces who would later
kill so many of his constituents, to say nothing of the tens of
millions slaughtered across the continent and during the Holocaust.

"The master planners devised
the strategy of a merger - a Great Merger- among nations.
But before such a merger can be consummated, and the United States
becomes just another province in a New World Order, there must
at least be the semblance of parity among the senior partners
in the deal. How does one make the nations of the world more nearly
equal? The Insiders determined that a two-prong approach was needed;
use American money and know-how to build up your competitors,
while at the same time use every devious strategy you can devise
to weaken and impoverish this country. The goal is not to bankrupt
the United States. Rather, it is to reduce our productive might,
and therefore our standard of living, to the meager subsistence
level of the socialized nations of the world.
Only a fascist-socialist dictatorship would have the power to
accomplish such a "redistribution." Notice that the
plan is not to bring the standard of living in less developed
countries up to our level, but to bring ours down to meet theirs
coming up.
You may be assured, however, that the Rockefellers and their allies
are not talking about reducing their own quality of life. It is
your standard of living which must be sacrificed on the altar
of the New World Order.
The Rockefeller game plan is to use population, energy, food,

million but less than one billion."

"Club of the Isles is a
European cartel - centered within the City of London and headed
by the House of Windsor - which controls every aspect of the global
economy -- banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, raw
materials, transportation, factories, major retail groups, the
stock and commodities markets, politicians and governments, media,
intelligence agencies, drugs and organized crime."
"The Windsors' Global Food
Cartel: Instrument for Starvation" an article from Executive

have prepared for and are now implementing open world dictatorship...
They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against
citizens."
Dr. Johannes Koeppi, former German
Defense Ministry official and adviser to NATO
"You will not read about
the Club of the Isles in any textbook or popular magazine. It
is unincorporated and it has no membership lists. Yet, as an informal
association of predominantly European-based royal households and
princely families, the Club of the Isles commands an estimated
$10 trillion in assets. It lords over such corporate giants as
Royal Dutch Shell, Imperial Chemical Industries, Lloyds of London,
Unilever, Lonrho, Rio Tinto Zinc, and Anglo American DeBeers.
It dominates the world supply of petroleum, gold, diamonds, and
many other vital raw materials; and deploys these assets not merely
in the pursuit of wealth, but as resources at the disposal of
its geopolitical agenda. Its goal: to reduce the human population
from its current level of over 5 billion people to below 1 billion
people within the next two to three generations in the interest
of retaining their own global power and the feudal system upon
which that power is based."

IS THE DRUG TRADE CONTROLLED
BY PSYCHOPATHS ?
opium poppies
"The drug "industry"
is ... under the control of a single world network.
... The drug-related illegal economy is the biggest business in
the world.
... The British monarchy organized most of the Far East to conform
to the drug traffic.
... The Anglo-Dutch "offshore" banking system and related
precious metals and gems trade were designed around illegal money.
... The world drug traffic is a top-down operation under the immediate
control of the British and allied monarchies."
www.bibliotecapleyades.net - How
the Drug Empire Works
"If governments really
wanted to eradicate the vile drug trade, they could make laws
that would oblige manufacturers of acetic anhydride, the most
essential chemical in the manufacture of heroin, to keep meticulous
records showing who buys the chemical, for what purpose and where
it is going. But such unilateral action on the part of any maverick
government would greatly displease the oligarchic families of
Europe and the United States Establishment because these people
are earning hundreds of billions of dollars each year from the
drug trade."
Daniel Estulin
"Money laundering, according
to IMF estimates for the 1990s, was between 590 billion and 1.5
trillion dollars a year. The proceeds of the drug trade are deposited
in the banking system. Drug money is laundered in the numerous
offshore banking havens in Switzerland, Luxembourg, the British
Channel Islands, the Cayman Islands and some 50 other locations
around the globe. It is here that criminal syndicates involved
in the drug trade and the representatives of the world's largest
commercial banks interact. Dirty money is deposited in these offshore
havens, which are controlled by major Western banks and financial
institutions which have a vested interest in maintaining and sustaining
the drug trade."
Michel Chossudovsky
"The Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank [HSBC] and related companies finance the opium trade. In
this, they are acting as designated agents of the British monarchy,
through the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
The world illegal drug traffic is controlled by a single group
of men whose intimate ties of ownership, family, and political
collaboration go back 200 years."
www.bibliotecapleyades.net "How
the Drug Empire Works"
"Narco-dollars are channeled
into "private banking" accounts in numerous offshore
banking havens controlled by the large Western banks and financial
institutions. The major Wall Street and European banks and stock
brokerage firms launder billions of dollars resulting from the
trade in narcotics."
"The Destabilization of Haiti"
an article by Michel Chossudovsky
"If 700 billion dollars
a year in illegal drug money is moved and laundered through the
American and world economy, that money benefits financial markets
and especially Wall Street. That's the reason for maintaining
the illegal drug trade."
Daniel Estulin
"No government has ever
touched the system which allowed the drug trade to develop. Money-laundering
is not even a criminal offense in 8 out of the 15 industrial nations.
In the United States, the center of the problem, government action,
is a joke: No top management has ever been charged or prosecuted
for criminal money-laundering activity."
from the book "DOPE, INC.:
the international drug cartel, money-laundering, and state power",
1992
"Washington's "war
on drugs" is directed towards increasing U.S. power in Latin
America. The use of drug money laundered through U.S. banks finances
Washington's trade imbalances, while the drug war increases Washington's
general influence over economic policy, allowing U.S.-based transnational
corporations (TNCs) to buy Latin American public enterprises at
scandalously low prices and to penetrate markets."

ARE THE INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES PSYCHOPATHIC ?
"Fundamentally, the founding
fathers of U.S. intelligence were liars. The better you lied and
the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted...
Outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common
was a desire for absolute power... (Allen) Dulles, (Richard) Helms,
(Frank) Wisner were the grand masters. If you were in a room with
them, you were in a room full of people that you had to believe
would deservedly end up in hell."
James Jesus Angleton, CIA counterintelligence
operative
"The global drug trade
is controlled and run by the intelligence agencies. In this global
drug trade British intelligence reigns supreme... In Britain,
the MI-6 drug money is laundered through the Bank of England,
Barclays Bank and other household name companies. The drug money
is passed from account to account until its origins are lost in
a huge web of transactions.
The drug money comes out 'cleaner' but not totally clean. Diamonds
are then bought with this money from the corrupt diamond business
families like the Oppenheimers. These diamonds are then sold and
the drug money is clean."
James Casbolt, former MI6 Agent
"The world order doesn't
allow for any frontal attack aimed at destroying narco-trafficking
because that business, which moves $400 billion annually, is far
too important for the leading nations of world power to eliminate.
The US punishes those countries which don't do enough to fight
against drugs, whereas their CIA boys have built paradises of
corruption throughout the world with the drug profits."
Ecuadorian Presidential Candidate
Manuel Salgado
"Drug trafficking constitutes
the third biggest global commodity in cash terms after oil and
the arms trade. Supported by powerful interests, heroin is a multibillion-dollar
business, which requires a steady and secure commodity flow. One
of the hidden objectives of the war In Afghanistan was effectively
to restore the CIA sponsored drug trade to its historical levels
and exert direct control over the drug routes."
Michel Chossudovsky

... WTC 7 was a classic controlled demolition with explosives.
We used super-fine military grade nanothermite composite materials
as explosives. The hard part was getting thousands of pounds of
explosives, fuses and ignition mechanisms into the building without
causing too much concern. But almost every single office in the
Building 7 was rented by the CIA, the Secret Service, or the military,
which made it easier.
... When the building came down, it was such a rush. Everything
went exactly to plan. It was so smooth. Everybody was evacuated.
Nobody was hurt in WTC 7. We were celebrating. We kept watching
replays of the demolition, we had the whiskey and cigars out,
and then all of a sudden the strangest thing happened. We all
started to worry that it looked a bit too smooth. We watched the
tape again and again and again and we started to get paranoid.
It looked like a controlled demolition. We thought shit, people
are going to question this. And then we heard that people from
the street were reporting that they heard the explosions during
the afternoon. When we were told that the BBC botched their report
and announced to the world that the building collapsed 20 minutes
before it actually did At that point we really thought the gig
was up.
... There were so many loose ends, so much evidence left behind.
We thought the public would be all over it. We thought there would
be a public uprising that the media couldn't ignore. They'd be
funding investigations and demanding to know why they were being
lied to. We thought they'd find chemical composites in the area
that would prove Building 7 was blown up.
"We thought there would be a revolution. It would go all
the way to the top, to President Bush. He'd be dragged out of
the White House.
"But none of that happened. Almost nobody questioned anything.
The media shot down anyone who dared question anything they were
told.
... There could never be a real investigation of 9/11. The entire
shadow government, as you call them now, are implicated.

U.S./CIA activities in broad numbers and figuring out how many
people have been killed in the jungles of Laos or the hills of
Nicaragua is very difficult. But, adding them up as best we can,
we come up with a figure of six million people killed-and this
is a minimum figure. Included are: one million killed in the Korean
War, two million killed in the Vietnam War, 800,000 killed in
Indonesia, one million in Cambodia, 20,000 killed in Angola ...
and 22,000 killed in Nicaragua. These people would not have died
if U.S. tax dollars had not been spent by the CIA to inflame tensions,
finance covert political and military activities and destabilize
societies."
John Stockwell - former CIA official
"The CIA had been running
thousands of operations over the years... there have been about
3,000 major covert operations and over 10,000 minor operations...
all designed to disrupt, destabilize, or modify the activities
of other countries... But they are all illegal and they all disrupt
the normal functioning, often the democratic functioning, of other
societies. They raise serious questions about the moral responsibility
of the United States in the international society of nations."

"All that is necessary

"The easiest way to carry
out a false flag attack is by setting up a military exercise that

"False flags are ingrained
in the DNA of Empire, to control and manipulate their subjects,
as well as demonizing an internal or external group in the eyes
of the masses. The Empire keeps on perpetrating false flags relentlessly,
because they are so ruthlessly successful at achieving their aims.
False flags brilliantly create mass fear and uncertainty among
the people and justify the persecution of the group to be dehumanized
for exploitation or destruction. The shock and awe of false flags
allow governments and capital to herd the masses, to induce them
to gleefully go to war, commit genocide, accept economic servitude
and environmentally destructive resource extraction, while willfully
renouncing their free will to the tyranny of fascism and oligarchy,
for "security and safety"."

allowed them to tighten their grip on the world economy, deliberately
causing inflation and depressions at will. The people behind the
New World Order are thought to be international bankers, in particular,
the owners of the private banks in the Federal Reserve System,
Bank of England and other central banks, and members of the Council

that you have is that you need total control over mainstream media...
The United States does. Brittan does. Israel does. They can be

Richard Dolan
"The United States has
the remarkable ability to stage exercises simulating the exact
events that are actually taking place, such as the bombing exercise
in Boston, and the hijacking exercise on September 11, 2001. The
United Kingdom must have this ability as well because they were
running a drill simulating a bombing of London's subway stations
at the exact same time that there was an actual bombing of London's
subway system. What a coincidence."
Charlie Robinson, in his book "The
Octopus of Global Control", 2017
"The truth about 9/11 is
so horrific that if the American people actually were to learn
that truth they would completely lose confidence in their system,
because the truth of matter is that a faction of power in the

events of September 11, 2001, as a New Pearl Harbor designed to
launch their agenda of world domination and a rollback of freedom
in the United States."

"If you tell a lie big
enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe

the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the
truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

"Throughout the 1990s both
the U.S. oil industry and the Pentagon had contributed to the
consensus that America would need full-spectrum dominance to guarantee
access to oil and other resources in the rest of the world. This
program would require massive expenditures, perhaps as much as
a trillion dollars, and this could not be expected from Congress
- except in response to an attack as massive and frightening as
Pearl Harbor.
With respect to the events of 9/11 it is clear that the Bush Administration's
settled goal of invading Iraq depended on the attack. What we
have been witnessing, to quote the Oslo researcher Ola Tunander

without supplementary demolition charges at some of the reinforced
concrete bases inside the building, a standard demolition technique.
For a simplistic blast truck bomb, of the size and composition
reported, to be able to reach out on the order of 60 feet and
collapse a reinforced column base the size of column A7 is beyond
credulity.

of U.S. Air Force munitions design and testing, in a report on

This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed
the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty
of treason and mass murder."
Stanley Hiltona - a senior advisor

"What a strange coincidence
that the authorities were running terror drills at the same time,
simulating the same scenarios, in the same area. If this happened
one time, it could be written off as a coincidence.
However, when you learn that drills were being run the same time
as the 9/11 attacks, the 7/7 London bombing, the Oklahoma City
bombing, the Madrid bombing, the Norway Oslo attacks, the Sandy
Hook shooting, the Aurora movie theater shooting, and the Boston
bombing, you must understand that this is not a coincidence. This
is a pattern."

IS AMERICA A PSYCHOPATHIC
SOCIETY ?
"The American way of life
has optimized the survival of psychopathy, and in a world of psychopaths,
those who are not genetic psychopaths, are induced to behave like
psychopaths simply to survive. When the rules are set up to make
a society "adaptive" to psychopathy, it makes psychopaths
of everyone. As a consequence, a very large number of Americans
are effective sociopaths."
Laura Knight-Jadczyk
"The US and its allies
will turn into authoritarian police states. They'll all be perfectly
fascist -- private ownership of both consumer goods and the means
of production topped by state control of both. Fascism operates
free of underlying principles or philosophy; it's totally the
whim of the people in control, and they'll prove ever more ruthless."
Doug Casey
"Few Americans are disturbed
that 1.25 million Iraqis and an unknown number of Afghans have
died as a result of American invasions.
... For many Americans, war is like a sports contest in which
they take vicarious pleasure and cheer on their side to victory."
Paul Craig Roberts
"Real power is unelected.
Politicians change, but the power structure does not. The Network
(a global Anglophile financial elite power structure) operates
behind the scenes, for its own benefit, without ever consulting
those who are affected by its decisions.
The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. They
are "satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance
of power." This approach of secretly exercising power is
common throughout history because it protects the conspirators
from the consequences of their actions.
A primary tactic for directing public opinion and "government"
policy is to place willing servants in leadership positions of
trusted institutions (media, universities, government, foundations,
etc.). If there is ever a major backlash against a given policy,
the servant can be replaced. This leaves both the institution
and the individuals who actually direct its power unharmed.
Historically, those who establish sophisticated systems of domination
are not only highly intelligent; they are supremely deceptive
and ruthless. They completely ignore the ethical barriers that
govern a normal human being's behavior. They do not believe that
the moral and legislative laws, which others are expected to abide
by, apply to them. This gives them an enormous advantage over
the masses that cannot easily imagine their mind-set. Advances
in technology have enabled modern rulers to dominate larger and
larger areas of the globe.
As a result, the substance of national sovereignty has already
been destroyed, and whatever remains of its shell is being dismantled
as quickly as possible. The new system they're building (which
they themselves refer to as a New World Order), will trade the
existing illusion of democratically directed government for their
long-sought, "expert-directed," authoritarian technocracy."
Joseph Plummer, 2014
"Look at the United States.
The two parties are mirror images of each other. To preserve the
image of democracy, both are needed, both serve the same masters.
But there are no leaders in the US who are standing up and speaking
about the genocide of the Palestinians. The deaths of hundreds
of thousands of Iraqis are passed over in silence. There is no
room for conscience in the US government, in either party, and
the control of the press, not to mention other means such as blackmail
and threats, ensure that those who might speak up, don't."
Henry See in his book "The
Trick of the Psychopath's Trade"
"In a country in which
much of human culture has been rendered into machines for the
manufacture of money, psychopaths are the ideal leaders. They
are very focused. They are outcome oriented. They are frequently

of people, or deny people health care, or have them waterboarded,

directly responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths during
the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the two Iraq Wars.
... The United States was also responsible for 14 million deaths
in Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, East
Timor, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sudan.

for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and
conflicts scattered over the world."

"Countries ruled by psychopaths

Catchment Area study, sponsored by the National Institute of Mental

Martha Stout
"Psychopathic behavior
seems to be on the rise because of the very nature of American
capitalistic society. The great hustlers, charmers, and self-promoters
in the sales fields are perfect examples of where the psychopath

corporate world in a capitalistic system, are all areas where
psychopaths naturally rise to the top."
Laura Knight-Jadczyk
"The problem is that authoritarian
followers are much more active than the rest of the country. They
have the mentality of 'old-time religion' on a crusade, and they
generously give money, time and effort to the cause. They proselytize;
they lick stamps; they put pressure on loved ones; and they revel
in being loyal to a cohesive group of like thinkers. And they
are so submissive to their leaders that they will believe and
do virtually anything they are told. They are not going to let
up and they are not going to go away."

"Money is the glue of movement
conservatism, which is largely financed by a handful of extremely
wealthy individuals and a number of major corporations, all of
whom stand to gain from increased inequality, an end to progressive
taxation, and a rollback of the welfare state - in short, from
a reversal of the New Deal. And turning the clock back on economic
policies that limit inequality is, at its core, what movement
conservatism is all about."
Paul Krugman
"In the world today where
information is controlled by a small number of media outlets,
and those media outlets have much in common with the pathological
governments, greater numbers of people can be influenced and infected
with pathological thinking... Madeleine Albright in 1996 was asked
about the 500,000 deaths in Iraq, mostly of children, due to the
Iraq embargo. She responded that she thought 'It was worth it',
that is, those deaths were the necessary price to pay to bring
down Saddam. That is unquestionably pathological logic, and yet
how many Americans would have heard that response and thought
nothing of it? Anyone who, on hearing that statement, was not
outraged has been infected with pathological thinking, they have
been ponerized. Their thinking has become distorted by the pathological
infection."
Henry See in his book "The
Trick of the Psychopath's Trade"
"Psychopaths derive their
power from the complicity of the general population. Most people
still get suckered in by the manipulation of psychopaths, and
most people still admire them. The only answer to eliminating
the power of the psychopath is to educate the public.
... The better informed you are, the better you are able to spot
psychopaths, and then distancing yourself from them, cutting them
off from your money, your attention and your devotion."
Stefan Verstappen
"American foreign-policy
makers are exquisitely attuned to the rise of a government, or
a movement that might take power, that will not lie down and happily
become an American client state, that will not look upon the free
market or the privatization of the world known as "globalization"
as summum bonum [the highest good], that will not change its laws
to favor foreign investment, that will not be unconcerned about
the effects of foreign investment upon the welfare of its own
people, that will not produce primarily for export, that will
not easily tolerate the International Monetary Fund or the World
Trade Organization inflicting a scorched-earth policy upon the
country's social services or standard of living, that will not
allow an American or NATO military installation upon its soil.
Given the proper pretext, such bad examples have to be reduced
to basket cases, or, where feasible, simply overthrown."
William Blum
"Stop talking so much about
democracy and instead support dictatorships of the right if their
policies are pro-American."
U.S. Treasury Secretary George
Humphrey, 1954
"If the U.S. is to survive,
long-standing American concepts of "fair play" must
be reconsidered. We must develop effective espionage and counterespionage
services. We must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemies
by more clever, more sophisticated and more effective methods
than those used against us. It may become necessary that the American
people be acquainted with, understand and support this fundamentally
repugnant philosophy."
Hoover Commission report of 1954
"There is a single theme
behind all our work. We must reduce population levels. Either
they do it our way, through nice clean methods or they will get
the kind of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran, or in
Beirut. Once population is out of control it requires authoritarian
government, even fascism, to reduce it... The quickest way to
reduce population is through famine like in Africa. We go into
a country and say, here is your goddamn development plan. Throw
it out the window. Start looking at your population ...if you
don't ...then you'll have an El Salvador or an Iran, or worse,
a Cambodia.

"Zionist acts of terror,
carried out mainly by members of two major groups, the Irgun and
Stern Gang, included the 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel
in Jerusalem, which killed ninety-one people - forty-one Arabs,
twenty-eight British, and seventeen Jews; the 1947 hanging of
two British soldiers and booby trapping of their bodies; the 1948
bombing of the Arab-owned Semiramis Hotel in Jerusalem, which
killed twenty-two Arabs, including women and children; the 1948
massacre of 254 Arab men, women, and children villagers of Deir
Yassin; the massacre of scores of civilians at the village of
Dawayima in 1948; and the 1948 assassination of UN Special Representative
Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden.
... Menachem Begin led the Irgun, and Yitzhak Shamir was one of
the leaders of the Stern Gang. Both men later became prime ministers
of Israel."

"Our race is the Master
Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from
the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared
to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best.
Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is
to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled
by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet

Israeli prime Minister Menachem
Begin in a speech to the Knesset [Israeli Parliament]
"The Israeli system indoctrinates
its pupils with a violent tribal cult, totally ethnocentric, which
sees in the whole of world history nothing but an endless story
of Jewish victimhood. This is a religion of a Chosen People, indifferent
to others, a religion without compassion for anyone who is not
Jewish, which glorifies the God-decreed genocide described in
the Biblical book of Joshua."
Israeli columnist Uri Avner
"A partial Jewish state
is not the end, bur only the beginning. The establishment of such
a Jewish state will serve as a means in our historical effort
to redeem the country in its entirety.... We shall organize a
modern defense force... and then I am certain that we will not
be prevented from settling in other parts of the country, either
by mutual agreement with our Arab neighbors or by some other means....
We will expel the Arabs and take their place... with the force
at our disposal."
Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion,
in a 1937 letter to his son
"A voluntary reconciliation
with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future.
If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living,
you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man
or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else,
give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will
render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent
this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult,
not dangerous, but impossible.
... Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands
or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to speak
Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able
to shoot - or else I am through with playing at colonizing."
Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of
Revisionist Zionism (precursor of Likud Party}
"We will establish ourselves
in Palestine whether you like it or not...You can hasten our arrival
or you can equally retard it. It is however better for you to
help us so as to avoid our constructive powers being turned into
a destructive power which will overthrow the world."
Chaim Weizmann, Published in "Judische

"Ariel Sharon advocated
the slaughter of millions of Israel's enemies, and the vast expansion
of Israeli territory by conquest of neighboring lands and expulsion
of their populations, along with the free use of nuclear weapons
if they or anyone else too strongly resisted such efforts. In
his bold opinion, the Israelis and Jews in general were just too
soft and meek, and needed to regain their place in the world by
once again becoming a conquering people, probably hated but definitely
feared. To him, the large recent massacre of Palestinian women
and children at Sabra and Shatila was of no consequence whatsoever,
and the most unfortunate aspect of the incident was that the killers
had been Israel's Christian Phalangist allies rather than Israeli
soldiers themselves.
... Sharon's purported utterances seem to have had little negative
impact upon his subsequent political career, and after spending
some time in the political wilderness after the Lebanon disaster,
he eventually served five years as Prime Minister during 2001-2006."
Ron Unz, 2018
"Israel sits atop a coalition
from hell which is carrying out a Machiavellian divide and rule
stratagem to weaken the remaining impediments to unbridled Israeli

"Tell me, do the evil men
of this world have a bad time? They hunt and catch whatever they
feel like eating. They don't suffer from indigestion and are not
punished by Heaven. I want Israel to join that club. Maybe the
world will then at last begin to fear us instead of feeling sorry.
Maybe they will start to tremble, to fear our madness instead
of admiring our nobility. Let them tremble; let them call us a
mad state. Let them understand that we are a savage country, dangerous
to our surroundings, not normal, that we might go wild, that we
might start World War Three just like that, or that we might one
day go crazy and burn all the oil fields in the Middle East. Even
if you'll prove to me that the present war is a dirty immoral
war, I don't care. We shall start another war, kill and destroy
more and more. And do you know why it is all worth it? Because
it seems that this war has made us more unpopular among the civilized
world. We'll hear no more of that nonsense about the unique Jewish
morality. No more talk about a unique people being a light upon
the nations. No more uniqueness and no more sweetness and light.
Good riddance."

"We should prepare to go
on the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and
Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial
and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state
there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan;
Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port
Said, Alexandria and Sinai."

to ensure they the Palestinian refugees never do return."
Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion,
in his diary, 18 July 1948
"Why should the Arabs make
peace? If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with
Israel. That is natural. We have taken their country. Sure, God
promised it to me, but what does it matter to them? Our God is
not theirs. We come from Israel, it is true, but two thousand
years ago, and what is it to them? There have been anti-Semitism,
the Nazis, Hitler, and Auschwitz but was that their fault? They
only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country."

to Nahum Goldman, President of the World Zionist Organization,
1956
"Hundreds of thousands
of [Palestinians], intimidated and terrorized, fled in panic,

not one tribe should be left."
Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish
Agency's Colonization Department in 1940
"Among the most disturbing
political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly
created State of Israel of the Freedom Party (Herut), a political
party closely akin in its organization, method, political philosophy
and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties."
Albert Einstein, Hanna Arendt and
other prominent Jewish Americans, writing in The New York Times,
protesting the visit to America of Menachem Begin, December 1948
"It is the duty of Israel
leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously,
a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first
of these is that there is no Zionism, colonization or Jewish state
without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their
lands."

iany employment in our own country."
Theodor Herzl
"The inclination of the
more right-wing Zionist factions in Israel was toward assassination,
terrorism, and other forms of essentially criminal behavior...
In 1943 Yitzhak Shamir had arranged the assassination of his factional
rival, a year after the two men had escaped together from imprisonment
for a bank robbery in which bystanders had been killed, and he
claimed he had acted to avert the planned assassination of David
Ben-Gurion, the top Zionist leader and Israel's future founding-premier.
Shamir and his faction certainly continued this sort of behavior
into the 1940s, successfully assassinating Lord Moyne, the British
Minister for the Middle East, and Count Folke Bernadotte, the
UN Peace Negotiator, though they failed in their other attempts
to kill American President Harry Truman and British Foreign Minister
Ernest Bevin, and their plans to assassinate Winston Churchill
apparently never moved past the discussion stage. His group also
pioneered the use of terrorist car-bombs and other explosive attacks
against innocent civilian targets, all long before any Arabs or
Muslims had ever thought of using similar tactics; and Begin's
larger and more "moderate" Zionist faction did much
the same. Given that background, it was hardly surprising that
Shamir later served as director of assassinations at the Israeli
Mossad during 1955-1965, so if the Mossad did indeed play a major
role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he was
very likely involved."
Ron Unz, 2018
"I have always said, I

land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be scurry
around like drugged roaches in a bottle."
Rafael Eitan, Israel's military
chief of the staff during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon
"The purpose of Zionism
is to help colonize the Middle East, subvert Islam, and control
the oil fields. For this reason Israel continues to receive blank
checks. This is why the founding of Israel took precedence over
the welfare of the Jewish people.
People complain that Israel controls the U.S.. But, Israel is
just an instrument of the central bankers who control both."
Henry Makow
"Political Zionism is an
agency of Big Business. It is being used by Jewish and Christian
financiers in the United States and Great Britain, to make Jews
believe that Palestine will be ruled by a descendant of King David
who will ultimately rule the world. What delusion! It will lead
to war between Arabs and Jews and eventually to war between Muslims
and non-Muslims. That will be the turning point of history."
Henry H. Klein, 1947
"Zionism was willing to
sacrifice the whole of European Jewry for a Zionist State. Everything
was done to create a state of Israel and that was only possible
through a world war. Wall Street and Jewish large bankers aided
the war effort on both sides."
Joseph Burg, The Toronto Star,1988
"Israel controls the United
States Senate. Around 80 percent [of the Senate] are completely
in support of Israel; anything Israel wants it gets. Jewish influence
in the House of Representatives is even greater."
Senator William Fulbright
"The control the Jews have
over the news media and the barrage which the Jews have built
up on congressmen... I am very much concerned over the fact that
the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and
making it almost impossible to get Congress to do anything they
don't approve of. The Israeli Embassy is practically dictating
to the Congress through influential Jewish people in the country."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles
"By what means has America
(and the entire West) been brought to the state that no public
man aspires to office, or editor feels secure at his desk, until
he has brought out his prayer-mat and prostrated himself to Zion?
How have presidents and prime ministers been led to compete for
the approval of this faction like bridesmaids for the bride's
bouquet? Why do leading men suffer themselves to be paraded at
hundred-dollar-a-plate banquets for Zion, or to be herded on to
Zionist platforms to receive "plaques" for services
rendered?"
The power of money and the prospect of votes have demonstrably
been potent lures, but in my judgment by far the strongest weapon
is this power to control published information; to lay stress
on what a faction wants and to exclude from it all that the faction
dislikes, and so to be able to give any selected person a "good"
or a "bad" press.
Douglas Reed in his book "The Controversy of Zion" [published
in the 1950s]
"There cannot be the slightest
doubt that a state of mind very much like that of Israel now prevails
among American Jews. There is a fanatical certainty abroad that
there is only one truth and that Israel is the sole custodian
of it. No distinction is made between the Jews of the world and
Israel, and not even between the Israeli government and Israel.
Israeli statesmen and their policies are assumed to be inviolate
and above criticism. There is a frightening intolerance of opinions
differing from those of the majority, a complete disregard of
reason, and a yielding to the emotions of a stampeding herd."
William Zukerman, Jewish Newsletter,
1955
"The Israelis are also
skillful at exploiting Arab rivalries and turning Arab against
Arab. The Kurdish tribes, for example, inhabit the mountains of
northern Iraq. Every month, a secret Israeli envoy slips into
the mountains from the Iranian side to deliver $ 50,000 to Kurdish
leader Mulla Mustafa al Barzani. The subsidy insures Kurdish hostility
against Iraq, whose government is militantly anti-Israel."
Jack Anderson, 1972
"Israel's goal in the Middle
East has been to gin up as much conflict and chaos as possible,
keeping its Islamic enemies divided, making it impossible for
any credible challenge to arise among its Arab neighbors, and
aiming the main blow at Tehran, while paying lip service to the
awfulness of ISIS and al-Qaeda. Their quarrel isn't really with
the Arabs, anyway, it's with the Persians, whom they fear and
loathe, and whose destruction has been their number one objective
since the days of Ariel Sharon."
Justin Raimondo, 2014
"A controversial bill that
officially defines Israel as the "Nation-State of the Jewish
People" was approved by the Israeli cabinet.
Finally Israel has acknowledged its true Jewish nature. Instead
of pretending to be a 'Jewish Democracy" - a contradiction
in terms, the Jewish State admits that it is a theocracy guided
by Jewish racial supremacist ideology.
The bill, which is intended to become part of Israel's Basic Laws,
recognises Israel's Jewish character, institutionalises Jewish
law as an inspiration for legislation and delists Arabic as an
official second language. As if until now Arabic had been equal
to Hebrew.
According to some Israeli critics, the new Israeli bill would
weaken the wording of Israel's declaration of independence, which
states that the new state would "be based on the principles
of liberty, justice and freedom expressed by the prophets of Israel
[and] affirm complete social and political equality for all its
citizens, regardless of religion, race or gender."
Israel has always been the Jewish State, it has never been a liberal
place nor has it been committed to justice or equality. The deepest
truth is that universal humanism and ethical culture is foreign
to Judaic thinking that is tribal and legalistic."
Gilad Atzmon, 2014
ARE SAUDI ARABIA'S LEADERS
PSYCHOPATHIC ?
[TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER GULF
DICTATORSHIPS]
Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman
"Has there ever been a
more vile regime than the gang of bloated potentates that rules
over Saudi Arabia? Responsible for fomenting chaos and carnage
beyond their own borders, while at home brutalising their own
people ... The Saudis have utter and complete disregard for anything
resembling human rights.
The scale of the brutality and barbarism that is a regular occurrence
in this oil-rich kingdom is reflected in the number of public
executions by beheading that are carried out there.
... Women in Saudi Arabia, along with minorities regardless of
gender, are regarded as chattel, with little if any rights that
most would consider compatible with a civilised society. It is
a medieval system, underpinned by the most extreme interpretation
of Islam, Wahhabism, which is playing a key role in spreading
religious fundamentalism throughout the Middle East."
John Wight, 2015
"Saudi Arabia is governed
by a family dictatorship which tolerates no opposition and severely
punishes human rights advocates and political dissidents. Hundreds
of billions in oil revenues are controlled by the royal despotism.
The ruling elite relies on the purchase of Western arms and US
military bases for protection. The ruling elite finances the most
fanatical, retrograde, misogynist version of Islam, "Wahhabi"
a sect of Sunni Islam.
... Faced with internal dissent from repressed subjects and religious
minorities, the Saudi dictatorship perceives threats and dangers
from all sides... In response it has turned toward financing,
training and arming an international network of Islamic terrorists
who are directed toward attacking, invading and destroying regimes
opposed to the Saudi clerical-dictatorial regime.
... The mastermind of the Saudi terror network is Bandar bin Sultan,
who has longstanding and deep ties to high level US political,
military and intelligence officials.
...Bandar channelled $32 million dollars to the Nicaragua Contra's
engaged in a terror campaign to overthrow the revolutionary Sandinista
government in Nicaragua. During his tenure as ambassador he was
actively engaged in protecting Saudi royalty with ties to the
9/11/01 bombing of the Triple Towers and the Pentagon. Suspicion
that Bandar and his allies in the Royal family had prior knowledge
of the bombings by Saudi terrorists (11 of the 19), is suggested
by the sudden flight of Saudi Royalty following the terrorist
act.
... Bandar bin Sultan has transformed Saudi Arabia into a major
regional center of a vast terror network, an active financial
backer of right-wing military dictatorships (Egypt) and client
regimes (Yemen) and military intervenor in the Gulf region (Bahrain).
Bandar has financed and armed a vast array of clandestine terror
operations, utilizing Islamic affiliates of Al Qaeda, the Saudi
controlled Wahhabi sect as well as numerous other Sunni armed
groups. Bandar is a "pragmatic" terrorist operator:
repressing Al Qaeda adversaries in Saudi Arabia and financing
Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
... While Saudi Arabia has a longstanding enmity toward Israel,
Bandar has developed a "covert understanding" and working
relationship with the Netanyahu regime, around their common enmity
toward Iran.
... Prince Bandar has poured billions of dollars to bolster the
right-wing pro-Islamic regimes in Tunisia and Morocco, ensuring
that the mass pro-democracy movements would be repressed, marginalized
and demobilized. Islamic extremists receiving Saudi financial
support are encouraged to back the "moderate" Islamists
in government by assassinating secular democratic leaders and
socialist trade union leaders in opposition.
... Saudi financial backed Islamist terrorists and Al Qaeda affiliates
against Libyan President Gadhafi. Bandar-funded Islamic extremists
in Libya were bankrolled to extend their military operations to
Syria, where the Saudi regime was organizing a vast military operation
to overthrow the Assad regime.
... In Egypt, Bandar financially backed the military coup and
dictatorship of General Sisi. He secured a like-minded dictatorial
regime in a key Arab country.
... Prince Bandar's terror network is most evident in his long-term
large scale financing, arming, training and transport of tens
of thousands of Islamic terrorist "volunteers" from
the US, Europe, the Middle East, the Caucuses, North Africa and
elsewhere.
... In co-ordination with France and the US, Prince Bandar became
the principle director of a military and diplomatic offensive
against Syria, Hezbollah and Iran. For Bandar, an Islamic takeover
in Syria would lead to an Islamic Syrian invasion in support of
Al Qaeda in Lebanon to defeat Hezbollah in hopes of isolating
Iran.
... Saudi signed off on a billion dollar arms agreement during
French President Hollande's visit, in exchange for greater sanctions
on Iran. Bandar also expressed support for Israel's use of Zionist
power to influence the Congress, to sabotage US negotiations with
Iran.
... Prince Bandar met with Russian President Putin to convince
him to drop his support for Syria, offering a carrot or a stick:
a multi-billion dollar arms sale for compliance and a threat to
unleash Chechen terrorists to undermine the Sochi Olympics.
... Prince Bandar has turned Turkish President Erdogan from a
NATO ally supporting 'moderate' armed opponents to Bashar Assad,
into embracing the Saudi backed 'Islamic State of Iraq and Syria",
a terrorist Al Qaeda affiliate.
... Prince Bandar has strengthened ties with the armed Taliban
in Afghanistan and Pakistan, arming and financing their armed
resistance against the US.
... Prince Bandar is probably supporting and arming Uighur Muslim
terrorists in western China, and Chechens and Caucasian Islamic
terrorists in Russia.
... Prince Bandar has embarked on an extraordinary transformation
of Saudi foreign policy and enhanced its global influence. Like
Israel, when a reactionary ruler comes to power and overturns
the democratic order, Saudi arrives on the scene with bags of
dollars to buttress the regime. Whenever an Islamic terror network
emerges to subvert a nationalist, secular or Shia regime, it can
count on Saudi funds and arms."
James Petras, 2014
"The House of Saud, is
waging a genocidal war of aggression that has already destroyed
entire swathes of Yemeni cultural heritage and decimated entire
communities, particularly in the northern, traditionally Ansarullah
(Houthi) held areas such as Saada and Hajjah. This was by design.
By now, we can see clearly how this was yet another ethnic cleansing
programme being endorsed, fuelled and defended by the United States
and her allies in the UK, EU, Israel, and the neighbouring Gulf
States, the majority of whom participated in this dirty war.
This is yet another war being fought over resources whose primary
victims are the innocent people of Yemen, and above all the children
of Yemen whose sunken eyes, distended, starving bellies and bird-like
limbs are a stark reminder of the cruelty of the corporatist-imperialist
elite."
Vanessa Beeley, 2016
"The Saudi/US-coalition
has launched over 230,000 airstrikes in Yemen, killing civilians
and targeting hospitals, schools, markets, and camps for the internally
displaced.
Over 600,000 civilians have been killed or injured in Yemen since
the Saudi/US-coalition began its attacks in 2015. The U.S.-backed
Saudi-led coalition's blockade on Yemen has also triggered an
epidemic of disease and famine across the country."
Ahmed Abdul Kareem, 2018
"Scores of Yemeni civilians,
including children, have been killed in a massive bombing campaign
led by Saudi Arabia and co-ordinated by the United States. The
bombing coalition of 10 countries include Egypt, North Sudan,
Morocco and the Persian Gulf Arab states of Qatar, United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain.
... That a defenceless, impoverished country such as Yemen can
be openly bombed by hundreds of US-supplied F-15 fighter jets
- and for that criminality to be widely endorsed - is a sure sign
that the world is once again sliding into the abyss of rampant
criminality and the possibility of a more catastrophic all-out
war."
Finian Cunningham, 2015
"Western governments traditionally
play down the connection between Saudi Arabia and its Wahhabist
faith, on the one hand, and jihadism, whether of the variety espoused
by Osama bin Laden and al-Qa'ida or by Islamic State (IS). There
is nothing conspiratorial or secret about these links: 15 out
of 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, as was Bin Laden and
most of the private donors who funded the operation."
Patrick Cockburn, 2014
"Money from Saudi Arabia
has flooded into the coffers of groups such as Islamic State (formerly
known as ISIS), enabling them to sustain and consolidate their
presence as they set about turning the region into a graveyard
for anyone who does not subscribe to their poisonous ideology."
John Wight, 2015
"ISIS (Islamic State) needed
money, weapons, logistics, propaganda facilities, and international
connections to reach the relatively high level of organization
and lethality they seem to have achieved in such a short period
of time. Where did they get these assets?
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the rest of the oil-rich Gulf states
have been backing ISIS all the way."
Justin Raimondo, 2014
"While on the surface,
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Persian Gulf
states repudiate violent extremism, some of their oil-rich princes
and intelligence services have provided covert support to Al-Qaeda
and the Islamic State to advance the cause of breaking the "Shiite
crescent" - from Tehran through Baghdad and Damascus to Beirut."
Robert Parry, 2015
"Saudi Arabia remains a
close strategic ally and economic partner of western governments,
whose failure to seriously confront or challenge it over its serial
human rights abuses, smacks of immorality and hypocrisy.
... Public beheadings, human rights abuses, the funding of terrorism,
arms deals, bribes, connections with the British Royal Family
and leading US political figures is all too real."
John Wight, 2015
PREPARE FOR A
PLUTOCRAT-CONTROLLED NEOLIBERAL ECONOMIC ORDER
AND GLOBAL AUTHORITARIANISM
Things are moving rapidly. Inequality
in America is extreme. Authoritarianism is increasing. Before
we realize it, America's democratic experiment will have ended
in failure, and possibly chaos. Societies with extreme inequality
have always come to ignoble ends. The question is whether America
will end with a whimper, or with a bang.
American hubris has resulted in
global economic chaos and strategic confrontation. We are no longer
the only superpower. Both Russia and China, once great empires,
want a second chance at global prosperity and respect. As the
U.S. is forced by circumstances to abandon its role as the sole
global policeman and economic powerhouse, others are ready to
take its place. But, dying empires are known to flail about and
fight viciously to preserve their former hegemony. And, it looks
like the United States will not go quietly into the night.
U. S. power was at its peak following
World War II. America ruled the globe economically and militarily.
It's influence was ubiquitous and its soft power seemingly unlimited.
But, arrogance and greed have turned the United States into a
pariah. We are feared for our power, but no longer respected for
our institutions. Inequality, injustice, corruption, and our projection
of violence, have turned much of the world against us.
Throughout the 20th century and
into the 21st century, the United States rhetorically lauded the
benefits of democracy, while undermining democratically-elected
governments everywhere. U.S.-sponsored coups and "color revolutions"
dressed-up as spontaneous popular uprisings, have shown that democratic
governments are not well-suited to withstand 21st century 'realpolitik'.
Developing countries, which once
looked to the United States as a model for political and economic
development, are re-evaluating whether democracy is their best
political choice. As the economic and political might of Russia
and China grow, so does their influence.
And, as the United States repeatedly
demonstrates how easily it can manipulate elections and exploit
popular unrest, while hypocritically preaching about democracy,
developing countries may conclude that authoritarian government
may be their best survival option.
The result: democracy will be left in the dustbin of history.
On the economic front, a new feudalism
is emerging. As work is made contingent and part-time, employee
benefits are cut, operations are moved offshore, unemployment
increases, well-paying manufacturing jobs become minimum-wage
service jobs, family debt grows, inequality increases and opportunities
disappear, the United States is beginning to look more like a
mal-developed country in the global South, than an economic giant,
while American workers, once the envy of the world, struggle to
compete with workers in the third world.
21st century neoliberal capitalism
is producing chaos, globally. Unabashed greed, absence of effective
regulation of business activity, and the growth of global casino
capitalism have caused untold damage. Austerity, privatization,
extreme financial risk-taking, endemic fraud and market manipulation
have combined to produce a perfect economic storm. Regulators
have stopped regulating, plutocrats continue to accumulate wealth,
and politicians grab what they can. Nobody trusts anybody, banks
won't lend, unemployment is high and rising, personal debt is
staggering, and hardship and immiseration are growing, while the
.01% spends with abandon and economic inequality has achieved
heights not seen since the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.
Business and political elites have
shown a willingness to undermine and severely damage their own
country's economy, in order to weaken a populist government that
refuses to support neoliberal economic policies that enrich the
wealthy. As the economy is covertly sabotaged, the population,
unaware that the source of their misery is the business elite,
blame the populist leaders, and remove them from office. The result
is that neoliberal governments replace populist governments, anti-worker
policies are adopted and accelerated, the elites grow richer,
and the working class suffers even more.
In Asia, China's growing economic
power is transforming global finance. The Chinese yuan may soon
take its place as an international reserve currency, joining the
dollar - or even replacing it. The global impact of the dollar's
reserve currency displacement would be enormous.
Banks have started restricting
cash withdrawals. It is now difficult to take out more than a
few thousand dollars in cash from some banks. Soon it may be nearly
impossible to withdraw cash from bank accounts.
Some countries are considering
becoming cashless societies, where money will no longer be accepted
and all monetary transactions will be digital. The result will
be the end of financial privacy. Governments will then have total
control over the economic lives of their citizens.
In the new "normal" financial
environment, banks will prosper by taxing the deposits of savers
(rather than paying interest on deposits) or by taking some of
the savings of their customers (bail-ins) as needed to enhance
their balance sheets.
As the economic noose tightens,
political turmoil, popular unrest and even global conflict may
result.
Kleptocratic elites in concert
with corrupt political and business leaders, will not be the solution
to the probem - they will be the problem.
Every person will have to fend
for himself or herself, and for their loved ones, in a more chaotic,
less fair, less democratic, more authoritarian world.
The time to prepare is now.
PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED
ELDERS OF ZION
A HOAX OR A BLUEPRINT FOR
TOTALITARIAN WORLD CONTROL BY PSYCHOPATHS?
"The presumption is strong
that the Protocols were issued, or reissued, at the First Zionist
Congress held at Basle (Switzerland) in 1897 under the presidency
of the Father of Modern Zionism, the late Theodore Herzl."
Victor E. Marsden
who translated into English "The Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion" which Sergyei Nilus published in Russia in
1905
"About a year ago a representative
of the [U.S.] Department of Justice submitted to me a copy of
the manuscript of "The Jewish Peril" by Professor [Sergei]
Nilus, and asked for my opinion of the work. He said that the
manuscript was a translation of a Russian book published in 1905
which was later suppressed. The manuscript was supposed to contain
'protocols' of the Wise Men of Zion and was supposed to have been
read by Dr. Herzl at a secret conference of the Zionist Congress
at Basle. He expressed the opinion that the work was probably
that of Dr. Theodor Herzl... He said that some American Senators
who had seen the manuscript were amazed to find that so many years
ago a scheme had been elaborated by the Jews which is now being
carried out, and that Bolshevism had been planned years ago by
Jews who sought to destroy the world."
Herman Bernstein, "American
Hebrew", June 25, 1920
"Whosoever was the mind
that conceived [the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion] possessed
a knowledge of human nature, of history and of statecraft which
is dazzling in its brilliant completeness, and terrible in the
objects to which it turns its powers. Neither a madman nor an
intentional criminal, but more likely a super-mind mastered by
devotion to a people and a faith could be the author, if indeed
one mind alone conceived them. It is too terribly real for fiction,
too well sustained for speculation, too deep in its knowledge
of the secret springs of life for forgery."
Dearborn Independent, July 10,
1920
"Only force conquers in
political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents
essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning
and make-believe the rule for governments... Therefore we must
not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve
towards the attainment of our end. In politics one must know how
to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we
secure submission and sovereignty."
Protocol 1 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We have set up the aristocracy
of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The
qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in wealth."
Protocol 1 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"It is essential to teach
in national schools ... the division of men into classes and conditions...
the peoples will voluntarily submit to authority and accept such
position as is appointed them in the State."
Protocol 3 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall create by all
the secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of
gold, which is all in our hands, a universal economic crisis whereby
we shall throw upon the streets whole mobs of workers simultaneously
in all the countries of Europe. These mobs will rush delightedly
to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance,
they have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will
then be able to loot."
Protocol 3 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall create an intensified
centralisation of government in order to grip in our hands all
the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically all
the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws
... and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such
magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every place
in a position to wipe out any goyim who oppose us by deed or word."
Protocol 5 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We have set one against
another ... religious and race hatreds... We are too strong -
there is no evading our power. The nations cannot come to even
an inconsiderable private agreement without our secretly having
a hand in it."
Protocol 5 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"[The] engine of the machinery
of States is - Gold. The science of political economy invented
by our learned elders has for long past been giving royal prestige
to capital... Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammelled, must
be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade."
Protocol 5 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"In order to put public
opinion into our hands we must bring it into a state of bewilderment,
by giving expression, from all sides, to so many contradictory
opinions and for such a length of time as will suffice to make
the goyim lose their heads in the labyrinth and come to see that
the best thing is to have no opinion of any kind in matters political."
Protocol 5 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall so wear down
the goyim, that they will be compelled to offer us international
power, of a nature that, by its position, will enable us, without
any violence, gradually to absorb all the state forces of the
world and to form a Super-Government."
Protocol 5 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall soon begin to
establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, upon
which, even large fortunes of the goyim will depend."
Protocol 6 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"What we want is that industry
should drain off from the land both labour and capital and, by
means of speculation, transfer into our hands all the money of
the world."
Protocol 6 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"The intensification of
armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential ...
that there should be, in all the States of the world; besides
ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat; a few millionaires
devoted to our interests; police and soldiers."
Protocol 7 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We must create ferments;
discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In
the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will
know that we have the power, whenever we like, to create disorders
or to restore order. All these countries are accustomed to see
in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the second place,
by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have
stretched into the cabinets of all States; by means of the political;
by economic treaties, or loan obligations."
Protocol 7 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We must be in a position
to respond to every act of opposition; by war with the neighbours
of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbours
should also venture to stand collectively together against us,
then we must offer resistance by a universal war."
Protocol 7 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"The Press which, with
few exceptions that may be disregarded, is already, entirely in
our hands."
Protocol 7 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall surround our
government with a whole world of economists. That is the reason
why economic sciences form the principal subject of the teaching
given to the Jews. Around us again will be a whole constellation
of bankers; industrialists; capitalists and - the main thing -
millionaires; because in substance, everything will be settled
by the question of figures."
Protocol 8 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall put [responsible
posts] in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are such
that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who, in
case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges
or disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests
to their last gasp."
Protocol 8 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"Our Super-Government subsists
in extra-legal conditions, which are described, in the accepted
terminology, by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship.
... We rule by force of will ... the weapons in our hands are
limitless ambitions; burning greediness; merciless vengeance;
hatreds and malice."
Protocol 9 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"Division into fractional
parties has given them into our hands, for, in order to carry
on a contested struggle one must have money, and the money is
all in our hands."
Protocol 9 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We have got our hands
into the administration of the law; into the conduct of elections;
into the press; into liberty of the person; but principally into
education and training as being the cornerstones of a free existence."
Protocol 9 - Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
"We shall arrange elections
in favour of such presidents as have in their past some dark,
undiscovered stain ... then they will be trustworthy agents for
the accomplishment of our plans, out of fear of revelations and
from the natural desire of everyone who has attained power, namely,
the retention of the privileges, advantages and honour connected
with the office of president.
... We shall invest the president with the right of declaring
a state of war.
... The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense
of such of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation;
he will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessity
to do so."
Protocol 10 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"We shall obtain the power
of destroying, little by little, step by step, all ... to prepare
for the transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kind
of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form
of government into our despotism.
The recognition of our despot may also come before the destruction
of the constitution; the moment for this recognition will come
when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and incompetence
- a matter which we shall arrange for - of their rulers, will
clamour."
Protocol 10 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"It is indispensable, to
trouble, in all countries, the people's relations with their governments,
so as to utterly exhaust humanity with dissension; hatred; struggle;
envy and even by the use of torture; by starvation; by the inoculation
of disease; by want, so that the goyim see no other course open
to them than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money
and in all else.
But if we give the nations of the world a breathing-space the
moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive."
Protocol 10 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"The freedom of the Press;
the right of association; freedom of conscience; the voting principle;
and many anothers must disappear for ever from the memory of man,
or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgation
of the new constitution. It is only at the moment that we shall
be able at once to announce all our orders.
... What we want is that from the first moment of its promulgation,
while the peoples of the world are still stunned by the accomplished
fact of the revolution, still in a condition of terror and uncertainty,
they should recognise once and for all that we are so strong,
so inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that in
no case shall we take any account of them, and so far from paying
any attention to their opinions or wishes, we are ready and able
to crush with irresistible power all expression or manifestation
thereof at every moment and in every place, that we have seized
at once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide our power
with them ... Then in fear and trembling they will close their
eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the end
of it all.
... We shall keep promising them [the people] to give back all
the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled the
enemies of peace and tamed all parties. It is not worth to say
anything about how long a time they will be kept waiting for this
return of their liberties."
Protocol 11 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"We shall saddle and bridle
[the press] with a tight curb.
... Among those making attacks upon us will also be organs established
by us, but they will attack exclusively points that we have pre-determined
to alter.
Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control.
Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all
news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they
are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then
be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what
we dictate to them.
... Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative
forces, and therefore our government will become proprietor of
the majority of the journals. This will neutralise the injurious
influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in possession
of a tremendous influence upon the public mind."
Protocol 12 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"All journals published
by us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies
and opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing over
to us quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into our
trap and be rendered harmless.
... All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions - aristocratic,
republican, revolutionary, even anarchical - for so long, of course,
as the constitution exists... they will have a hundred hands,
and every one of them will have a finger on any one of the public
opinions as required. When a pulse quickens these hands will lead
opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited patient loses
all power of judgement and easily yields to suggestion. Those
fools who will think they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper
of their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinion
that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are
following the organ of their party they will, in fact, follow
the flag which we hang out for them.
... We shall be in a position, as from time to time may be required,
to excite or to tranquillise the public mind on political questions,
to persuade or to confuse, printing now truth, now lies, facts
or their contradictions, according as they may be well or ill
received."
Protocol 12 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"In order that the masses
themselves may not guess what they are about, we further distract
them with amusements; games; pastimes; passions; people's palaces.
Soon we shall begin through the press to propose competitions
in art; in sport of all kinds: these interests will finally distract
their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled
to oppose them. Growing more and more dis-accustomed to reflect
and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk
in the same tone as we, because we alone shall be offering them
new directions for thought."
Protocol 13 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"How far-seeing were our
learned elders in ancient times, when they said, that to attain
a serious end, it behoves not to stop at any means or to count
the victims sacrificed for the sake of that end... We have not
counted the victims of the seed of the goy cattle, though we have
sacrificed many of our own, but for that we have now already given
them such a position on the Earth as they could not even have
dreamed of. The comparatively small numbers of the victims, from
the number of ours, have preserved our nationality from destruction."
Protocol 15 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"When comes the time of
our overt rule, the time to manifest its blessing, we shall remake
all legislatures, all our laws will be brief, plain, stable, without
any kind of interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position
to know them perfectly. The main feature which will run right
through them is submission to orders."
Protocol 15 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"All the money in the world
will be concentrated in our hands."
Protocol 15 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"Our government will have
the appearance of a patriarchal paternal guardianship on the part
of the ruler. Our own nation and our subjects will discern in
his person a father caring for their every need... They will then
be so thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible
for them to dispense with this wardship and guidance; if they
wish to live in peace and quiet; that they will acknowledge the
autocracy of our ruler.
... They will be rejoiced that we have regulated everything in
their lives, as is done by wise parents who desire to train children
in the cause of duty and submission.
When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown offered
him by Europe he will become patriarch of the world."
Protocol 15 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"We shall emasculate ...
the universities, by re-educating them in a new direction. Their
officials and professors will be prepared for their business by
detailed secret programmes of action from which they will not
with immunity diverge, not by one iota. They will be appointed
with especial precaution, and will be so placed as to be wholly
dependent on the Government.
... When we are in power we shall remove every kind of disturbing
subject from the course of education and shall make, out of the
youth, obedient children of authority.
... We shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previous
centuries which are undesirable to us.
We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction."
Protocol 16 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"We shall arrange a simulation
of disorders, or some manifestation of discontents finding expression
through the co-operation of good speakers. Round these speakers
will assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances. This
will give us the pretext for domiciliary perquisitions (diligent
searches) and surveillance on the part of our servants from among
the number of the goyim police."
Protocol 18 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"Economic crises have been
produced by us for the goyim by no other means than the withdrawal
of money from circulation."
Protocol 20 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"The gold standard has
been the ruin of the States which adopted it, for it has not been
able to satisfy the demands for money, the more so that we have
removed gold from circulation as possible."
Protocol 20 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"Loans hang like a sword
of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking from
their subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with outstretched
palm of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is
no possibility of removing from the body of the State, until they
fall off of themselves, or the State flings them off."
Protocol 20 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"The goyim ... have been
borrowing from us, with payment of interest, without ever thinking
that all the same these very moneys, plus an addition for payment
of interest, must be got by them from their own State pockets
in order to settle up with us. What could have been simpler than
to take the money they wanted from their own people?
But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have
contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a light
that they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves."
Protocol 20 - Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
"Our race is the Master
Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from
the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared
to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best.
Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is
to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled
by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet
and serve us as our slaves"
Israeli prime Minister Menachem
Begin in a speech to the Knesset [Israeli Parliament]
"We Jews, we are the destroyers
and will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet our
demands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a world
of our own."
Maurice Samuels in his book "You
Gentiles"
