Freemasonry Alert (or not): Senator Barack Obama is making nice to French president Nicolas Sarkozy...compare with Homer and Barney, both Stonecutters, below. -- mb

Obama meets pro-US Sarkozy in Paris
Obama "cannot requite the love that France has for him," said Francois Durpaire, the co-author of a book on the senator from Chicago, because "that would go down badly in the Midwest" states of America.

But his visit has sparked much excitement in France, with Le Monde newspaper's front-page headline stating: "Europe is under the charm of Barack Obama."

Got the approval of the Worshipful Master last night at Degree Team practice, and today it's up there for the world to see.

Of course, I had no idea what to expect except that it was going to be an interesting experience. Interesting might actually be slight a word to use to describe it, actually. It was certainly a fun time!

A couple of weeks ago me 'n Miles went over to the Lee County Shrine Club. He's already a Hillbilly, so he got have the fun of watching me get 'nishiated.

And a bonus: on the same day I became a Turtle. That, in itself, was worth the trip...

Are you a Turtle?

In 1988. Although I did not obtain functional operating procedure until 10 years later.

Early in Junior High I became interested in the occult. At first nothing seemed to work. I wanted to believe in magick. But my mind operates in a way that unless I see something first hand there is no way that I can believe in it. Coming from a strong Christian background I often prayed for power with magick. At that time I was more into Solomonic magick. Because I felt Yahweh / Jehovah approved of such works. However Yahweh / Jesus never seemed to answer my prayers. This coming in a very troubling time period of my life. After repeated misfortune I ended up denouncing God. I cursed Jehovah / Jesus. I then committed the one sin that the Bible says is unforgivable. To ensure that in the afterlife my soul would be separated from the spirit of the God I had come to hate. I blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Spiritually I was dead.

This hour of spiritual darkness came at a time when my life was in great danger. I do not claim to be a saint and have done many things in life that I now regret. The foolishness of my youth had led me to a life filled with violence. This climaxed when a rival gang declared war on me. My own forces had been decimated. I was absolutely certain that when the sun rose up in the morning that it would be the day of my death.

My soul was so wretched at the time that death seemed sweet relief. I had a severe case of Doc Holiday syndrome. That night was the lowest / darkest night of my life. My heart was empty of anything other than hate.

That night a spirit appeared to me. It offered to make everything I wanted come true. It told me that if I worshiped it then the next day I would live. That I would finally develop the magickal power I had so hard sought. It also offered the love and peace that I so desperately at that time needed. At the time I questioned my sanity. What I was seeing / hearing was not supposedly possible by any previous known standard of realism. That voice has many times since whispered in my ear. I have come to trust and believe in that voice completely.

Not wanting to die I made a pact with this at the time unidentified spirit. I performed a blood oath in which I cut an x over my heart. That scar I have until this day. The spirit then offered me three wishes. Suddenly this reminded me of something I had experienced in childhood. A vision that at the time my father had accounted to sunstroke. I already knew what my wishes would be because I had wished for them many times before. Wisdom. Strength. Power.

The next day as the sun rose I felt like I was being raised from the dead. Something in my heart changed. True to the spirits word everything that I wanted began to come true. And indeed I finally started to develop some power. The spirit identified itself as Enki. This led me to at that time drop all other magick systems and immerse myself into the Necronomicon.

Looking back at this time in my youth it is as if looking at a different person. Who I am now and what I was then separated only by spiritual awakening. I include this sordid tale of my past only to illustrate that at the time I began my journey I was immersed in darkness. Yet in the center of that darkness I found the light.

3- I have seen a copy of your wife's Simon Necronomicon in Turkish. I
was unaware that the Simon Necronomicon is a universal book. Would you
mind giving us your opinion on how that came about?

Regardless of its dubious origins the Necronomicon has gained a vast following in relatively a short period of time. Doubtless this is not because of the contents of the book but rather the powers behind the book. Anyone can use it as a tool. Fewer people take it as a spiritual path. However those who do become a disciple attain a much greater result.

It would be wise to establish the Federal Governments recognition of the Neo – Sumerians spirituality. My problem with established religions is that they eventually just become a business. A money making organization. I have no doubts that Enki has a plan and that in the future people will step forward on his behalf to accomplish the founding of a Temple to the Elder Gods. I do hope that these people keep in mind the goal is to help others. Not to make a profit.

6-In your opinion, what is the most effective way to work with the Simon
Necronomicon?

The astral experiences have been greatly rewarding. I only share those things on a personal basis. However the things that stick out in my mind as the most significant from Gatewalking are the developments in the physical world as a result. The most memorable being lives that were saved of people who were sick and near death. To me there can be no greater reward than being a part of changing someone’s future from the graveyard to endless possibilities. Keeping in mind we have no true power of our own and that we are just instruments of the divine. I do want it to be known that those in search of such miracles can with the use of the book become instruments of the power, and perform the miraculous. We would all like to save a loved one of course. However saving a stranger can bring a great sense of peace and be very rewarding in itself. Instead of being selfish we should strive to be selfless.

For the sake of those interested in the astral experiences of gatewalking I will tell of one such vision.

I said “Enki, Enki teach me magick.” Enki said. I am teaching you as fast as you can learn it.” I said “Enki, Enki give me power.” Enki said I am giving you power as fast as you can contain it.” I said Master Enki master Enki make me one with you. A great blood vessel reached down from the sky and enveloped me. I felt myself racing through the energy I can only describe as the blood of the master.

I found myself in floating in a sea of darkness as if in outer space. Far away I saw a tiny light. A voice whispered to me. “Enter into the center of the light. “ I began to run towards the light. No matter how hard I ran I never seemed to get any closer. Then I began to move at a speed that can not be described. I heard the voices of spirits talking to each other. “Do you think this one will make it?” “He might make it.” Commanding my will I pushed even harder until finally I entered the light. I heard a voice calling to me. “Come to me in the center of the light.” It seemed as if I ran forever without reaching the center until finally I was suddenly there. In the center of the light it was dark and I was confused. I knew Enki to be there with me although I could not see him. I said “Master. Master why is there darkness in the center of the light.” He replied to me. “We are the light makers.” I awoke. Upon returning to the physical from this experience I had gained an Epiphany.

8-What message would you like to leave for those who are interested in
the process of self-initiation, as described in the Simon Necronomicon?

I do not have much advice for anyone who wishes to work the book as a Magician other than follow its instructions to the letter. For those who are interested in becoming disciples of the master I can promise the experience to be a birth by fire. The journey will not be easy. The mental and spiritual stress will be great. However nothing worth having ever comes easy. After you have passed Adar you will look back at the person you were in the beginning in utter amazement. The crown of your achievement will be the new way in which you regard the world around you. This in truth is the heart of power. I trust that if you reach this point or if you have been allowed to reach this point spiritually you will be developed so that with the power you do the right thing.

Let me add a warning for those who seek power for selfish reasons and have plans to abuse the system. You are much more likely to end up in a mental institution with this selfish type approach than to ever gain even a basic understanding of the system.

From Cectic - The Comic

First, I want to thank my hosts Greg Stewart and Dean Kennedy of Masonic Central for having me as a guest. It was fun, and while I may be modest most of the time, how could I resist when such charming brothers ask not once, but several times for the pleasure of my company?

Second, I imagine that my brothers in Connecticut want to thank Greg and Dean for waiting until July, so that they don't have to listen to me ask "Didja hear my podcast? Huh? Didja? How was it? Was it good? Didja like it? Huh? Didja?" for the rest of the summer. I'm sure that everyone around me hopes that my over-inflated ego will have returned to normal by the time that meetings start again in September.

That said, based on some of the comments and emails that I've received, I thought I should take a moment to clarify some of my comments on certain topics, while I still have my dues card.

There are dozens of masoniphobic web boards, ranging from those run by religious fundamentalists who believe that Freemasons worship some demon, or at least, some entity that is not the One True God© that they, themselves believe in. Other boards are run by people who believe that Freemasons either run, or inexplicably who are the bottom rung on the Illuminati/New World Order hierarchy. I say "inexplicably" because most of the time they keep referencing some mythical "high ranking Freemasons." A few even espouse theories that Masons are somehow connectied with aliens or NASA or are involved in the moon landing hoax. Sometimes you can even see some intermingling of ideologies, which in itself presents some ironic humor. I've declined to point out these boards, mainly because it's pretty easy to find them if you search on terms such as "Freemason Conspiracy" and "Freemason Demon Worship."

I used to argue with masoniphobes, but I've given up. They don't want to believe me; their minds are already made up, and they are going to nit-pick every bit of evidence that I try to give them to prove their ideas wrong, if not outright ridiculous. They are going to twist words, pull quotes from Pike and Mackey and Hall out of context. They are going to point to the Washington Monument and to the occult Masonic symbols on the back of the one-dollar bill. To those of such a mind, there is no argument. Seriously, if you're not willing to entertain other concepts, then what you're doing is not arguing, it's simply name-calling.

In the US and in some other areas, Freemasons are cautioned after they are initiated not to let themselves get dragged into arguments with masoniphobes. Masoniphobes everywhere are reading this and thinking "Ah ha! That's because the new Mason hasn't been completely indoctinated into the cult."

Feh! Indoctrination is so last century. The truth is, we wait until they become Master Masons and then give them the mind control implants. It's much easier, it takes less time, and our Zeta Reticulan  overlords protectors have a huge supply of them - enough for everybody in the US and UK, in fact.

Yes, that's right. A few years ago I got tired of arguing, so I decided to take another tactic. Since the masoniphobes are accustomed to a certain amount of pushback, I've decided to throw them off-balance; applying a metaphorical judo, if you will. For the last year or so, I've been telling them "You think we're part of the Illuminati? Hell, that's the least of what we are! You ain't seen nothing yet."

You'd be surprised at how well this actually works. In fact, the results point out some sociologically interesting things.

A number of times in the last few years I've had discussions with people who are convinced that Masons are part of some kind of global political conspiracy. My approach is now to agree with them, and then point out just how deeply ingrained we are in the various financial and political hierarchies around the globe. The responses I get are almost paradoxical: at first, they express something like "Ah hah! I knew it all along!" but as I describe the depth and breadth of the conspiracy, surpassing even their own accusations, they get confused and sometimes nervous. They tell me that I'm making it up, that Masons can't possibly be as deeply into it as I claim.

How fascinating. I overpower their belief systems by feeding back into it, which causes them to go back and re-examine their original claims. It's almost as if they have a certain capacity for belief that can not be stretched.

Now, I'm not sure if this counts as "not arguing." But can anyone blame me for not resisting the subversiveness of this approach?

Setiap tanggal 20 Mei selalu diperingati sebagai hari kebangkitan nasional oleh bangsa kita yang ditandai oleh lahirnya organisasi Boedi Oetomo pada 20 Mei 1908, Boedi Oetomo menurut versi sejarah yang dipelajari di sekolah-sekolah hingga sekarang merupakan organisasi modern pertama di Indonesia yang menjadi organisasi pelopor pergerakan dan cikal bakal persatuan dan kesatuan bangsa Indonesia untuk melawan kolonialisasi belanda pada saat itu, padahal kalau kita hendak mempelajari dan mencermati secara seksama organisasi nasional pertama yang mengidam-idamkan kemerdekaan Indonesia dari kolonialisasi Belanda dan organisasi pelopor pergerakan pertama di Indonesia yang menyatakan perlawanan terhadap kolonialisasi Belanda terhadap Indonesia ialah Syarikat Dagang Islam yang kemudian berubah menjadi nama Syarikat Islam (SI) yang berdiri pada tanggal 16 Oktober 1905, atau tiga tahun lebih dulu berdiri dibandingkan dengan Boedi Oetomo. Jadi Boedi Oetomo sebagai organisasi pertama yang menjadi pelopor pergerakan kemerdekaan dan perlawanan bangsa Indonesia terhadap kolonialisasi Belanda pada saat itu adalah suatu kekeliruan sejarah.

Ada beberapa argumentasi dan fakta yang dapat membuktikan hal tersebut,

1. Syarikat Dagang Islam yang kemudian berubah menjadi Syarikat Islam (SI) berdiri pada 16 Oktober 1905 oleh Haji Samanhudi dan HOS. Tjokroaminoto, yang mana ini membuktikan bahwasanya Syarikat Islam (SI) 3 tahun lebih dulu berdiri dibandingkan dengan Boedi Oetomo yang berdiri pada 20 Mei 1908.

2. Boedi Oetomo dipimpin oleh para ambtenaar yakni para pegawai negeri yang setia kepada pemerintah Belanda sedangkan Syarikat Islam keanggotaannya murni dari masyarakat Indonesia yang anti Belanda

3. Syarikat Islam bercita-citakan kemerdekaan Islam Raya dan Indonesia Raya, sedangkan Boedi Oetomo hanya memperjuangkan nasib orang Jawa dan Madura.

4. Syarikat Islam bersikap non-kooperatif dan anti terhadap kolonialisasi Belanda, sedangkan Boedi Oetomo bersikap menggalang kerja sama dengan Belanda

5. Syarikat Islam berjuang melawan kolonialisme Belanda yang bertujuan untuk kemerdekaan Islam Raya dan Indonesia Raya sehingga banyak anggotanya yang masuk penjara dan ditembak mati oleh Belanda, dan banyak anggotanya yang dibuang ke Digul sedangkan Boedi Oetomo berjuang untuk Jawa dan Madura dan bersifat kooperatif dengan Belanda.

6. Syarikat Islam bersifat kerakyatan (tidak hanya kaum ningrat tapi juga rakyat jelata) dan terbuka bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia (tidak hanya Jawa dan Madura) sedangkan Boedi Oetomo seperti yang kita ketahui organisasi yang sempit yang bersifat feodal dan keningratan karena anggotanya hanya dari kalangan priyayi, bahkan lebih sempit lagi hanya untuk kalangan Jawa dan Madura saja (terlalu chauvinisnya, Betawi sekalipun tidak boleh) selain itu Boedi Oetomo juga bersikap anti Islam yang mana hal tersebut mendapat pembenaran dari sejarawan Hamid Algadrie dan Dr.Radjiman.

7. Dalam setiap rapatnya dan tulisan dalam anggaran dasarnya Syarikat Islam berbahasa Indonesia, sedangkan Boedi Oetomo dalam setiap rapat dan anggaran dasarnya berbahasa Belanda.

KH Firdaus AN (mantan Ketua Majelis Syuro Syarikat Islam) pernah mengatakan:
“Di dalam rapat-rapat perkumpulan dan bahkan di dalam penyusunan anggaran dasar organisasi Boedi Oetomo menggunakan bahasa Belanda, bukan bahasa Indonesia. Tidak pernah sekalipun rapat Boedi Oetomo membahas tentang kesadaran berbangsa dan bernegara yang merdeka. Mereka ini hanya membahas bagaimana memperbaiki nasib golongannya sendiri, dan menjelek-jelekkan Islam yang dianggapnya menjadi batu sandungan bagi upaya mereka.”

Bukan itu saja belakangan terdapat fakta yang mencenggangkan, yaitu banyak tokoh-tokoh Boedi Oetomo yang ternyata merupakan anggota aktif Freemasonry. Di dalam buku Dr.T.H. Stevens (seorang sejarawan Belanda) yang berjudul “Tarekat Mason Bebas dan Masyarakat di Hindia Belanda dan Indonesia 1764-1962” disebutkan bahwasanya beberapa tokoh Boedi Oetomo yang dilengkapi dengan foto-foto exlusif sebagai buktinya adalah merupakan anggota aktif Freemasonry, antara lain: Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII, RAS.Soemitro Kolopaking Poerbonegoro, Paku Alam VIII, RMAA.Tjokroadikoesoemo, DR Radjiman Wedyodiningrat, dan banyak pengurus lainnya, bahkan Ketua pertamanya yakni Raden Adipati Tirtokusumo (Bupati Karanganyer) adalah seorang anggota Freemasonry.

Hal-hal diatas telah jelas-jelas membeberkan fakta bahwa telah terjadi suatu kesalahan atau penyelewengan sejarah di negeri ini, yang seharusnya cepat-cepat diverivikasi dan dibenahi oleh Pemerintah demi kebenaran dan kejelasan sejarah yang terjadi pada perjuangan bangsa Indonesia ini. Pada hakekatnya cita-cita yang di idam-idamkan oleh Syarikat Islam yaitu kemerdekaan Indonesia dari pihak kolonial akhirnya membuahkan hasil ketika Soekarno dan Moh. Hatta memproklamirkan kemerdekaan bangsa Indonesia pada pukul 10.00 WIB yang bertepatan pada hari Jumat tanggal 11 Agustus 1945 yang menandakan bahwasanya mulai saat itu bangsa Indonesia merupakan bangsa yang merdeka dan berdaulat. Beberapa waktu yang akan datang yang tepatnya tanggal 16 Oktober kita akan memperingati hari yang bersejarah itu yaitu hari lahirnya Syarikat Islam yang ke 103 tahun, namun yang menjadi pertanyaan sekarang adalah apakah bangsa kita sekarang ini sudah benar-benar merdeka???

Satu abad lebih sudah Syarikat Islam lahir dan sebentar lagi kita juga akan memperingati hari kemerdekaan negara kita yang ke 63 tahun, namun hingga saat ini bangsa kita masih belum sepenuhnya merdeka. Segala macam permasalahan masih terus menyelimuti bangsa ini, baik permasalahan ekonomi, social, politik, budaya, keamanan, kedaulatan dlsbgnya. Kemiskinan masih melanda di negeri ini, pengangguran semakin banyak, anak putus sekolah terus berlangsung, KKN semakin mengila, ancaman disintegrasi semakin marak, budaya kitapun semakin terpinggirkan akibat masuknya budaya asing, dlsbgnya. Sedangkan para elit senantiasa sibuk atas kepentingan individu dan golongannya tanpa memikirkan kepentingan rakyat secara keseluruhan, sedangkan pemerintah selalu ragu-ragu dalam setiap pengambilan kebijakan yang jarang berpihak kepada kepentingan rakyat banyak.

Selain itu rakyatpun semakin menderita atas kenaikan harga BBM yang berdampak kepada naiknya harga-harga kebutuhan pokok yang semakin melambung tinggi, Asumsi kenaikan BBM tersebut dikarenakan harga minyak dunia yang semakin melambung tinggi yang sekarang sudah mencapai 135 US Dollar per barrel, sedangkan pemerintah pada tahun 2007 dalam APBNP ketika itu hanya menganggarkan subsidi 55-60 US Dollar perbarel terhadap BBM yang kemudian pada perkembangannya diubah menjadi 95 US Dollar per barrel yang dikarenakan harga minyak dunia yang mulai merangkak naik. Kegelisahanpun terjadi di masyarakat dan pemerintah dengan dalih untuk mengurangi dampak dari kenaikkan harga BBM tersebut akan menyalurkan bantuan langsung tunai atau BLT yang akan disalurkan kepada 19.1 juta rakyat miskin perkepala keluarga yang mana perkepala keluarga mendapatkan bantuan senilai Rp.100.000/bulan selama 6 bulan.

Dapat kita bayangkan langkah yang diambil oleh pemerintah begitu instan dan tidak mendidik, dapat kita katakan langkah tersebut dapat kita golongkan sebagai salah satu upaya “suap” pemerintah terhadap rakyat untuk melegalkan kebijakan yang diambilnya. Padahal kondisinya Indonesia merupakan negeri yang kaya akan SDA dan Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara penghasil minyak di dunia tetapi karna asset-aset kita telah dikuasai oleh asing maka kita tidak dapat memaximalkan kekayaan yang kita miliki itu untuk kepentingan bangsa kita sendiri.

Padahal SDA yang kita miliki memungkinkan untuk pemerintah berfikir kreatif dan imajinatif, agar tidak senantiasa selalu mengandalkan minyak bumi sebagai bahan bakar atau bahan energi, salah satu contohnya adalah pengembangan energi alternatif atau energi lain selain minyak bumi, seperti yang kita ketahui negeri kita kaya akan gas, batu bara, dan tanah kita juga sangat subur untuk dapat kita tanami tumbuh-tumbuhan yang dapat diolah untuk menjadi bahan energi penganti minyak bumi, selain itu juga negara kita merupakan negara yang berada di iklim tropis yang hanya memiliki 2 musim saja, yaitu musim panas dan musim hujan, energi gratis yang telah diciptakan oleh Allah SWT yaitu enegi matahari dan angin semestinya juga dapat menjadi inspirasi pemerintah. Tetapi hal tersebut kurang menjadi perhatian pemerintah, padahal dengan cadangan minyak bumi kita yang hanya tinggal sekitar 80 milyar barrel, , tentu kita harus bersiap diri untuk mencari energi alternatif penganti minyak bumi.

Di lain sisi pemerintah sepertinya tidak mau belajar dari pengalaman, pemerintah bukan hanya menetapkan kebijakan untuk menaikan harga BBM tetapi yang lebih parah lagi pemerintah hendak akan memprivatisasi 44 BUMN yang kita miliki padahal semestinya pemerintah seharusnya berusaha untuk mengambil kembali BUMN yang telah dijual pada masa sebelumnya atau menasionalisasikan aset atau apabila nasionalisasi aset terlalu extrim hendaknya pemerintah mengadakan renegosiasi kembali aset-aset kita agar kitapun menikmati keuntungan dari aset-aset yang kita miliki. Tetapi yang terjadi adalah sebaliknya padahal sudah jelas-jelas negara dirugikan atas kebijakan tersebut. Padahal privatisasi pada dasarnya mengarah pada konsep “one-size-fits-all golden straits jacket” ala Thomas L. Friedman. Menurut Friedman sebagai pembela globalisasi yang diilhami oleh neoliberalisme dan neokonservatisme, jaket pengaman emas buat ekonomi yang cocok untuk segala ukuran (tidak perduli negara besar atau kecil, negara maju atau terbelakang, negara industri atau pertanian) itu mencakup: upah buruh direndahkan untuk menekan laju inflasi, privatisasi BUMN dan memasukan BUMN ke dalam pasar sekuritas global, menghapus tarif dan kuota agar barang bisa bergerak bebas menerobos batas-batas negara, memprioritaskan produksi barang-barang expor, dan membuka seluruh bidang ekonomi bagi kepemilikan asing. Hal tersebut tentu saja akan sangat-sangat merugikan bagi negara yang lemah. Salah satu contoh yang konkret adalah perpanjangan kontrak Freeport di Indonesia yang diperpanjang hingga tahun 2041 dan hal pengoperasian blok Cepu oleh Exxon Mobil hingga tahun 2036, padahal negara hanya mendapatkan royalty sebesar 1-3.5 % dari Freeport sedangkan 96.5 - 99 % keuntungan masuk ke kantong Freeport sendiri.

Kebijakan yang dibuat oleh Pemerintah hari kehari semakin menyengsarakan rakyat yang memberikan kesan bahwasanya Pemerintah kita tidak beradab, padahal bangsa kita adalah bangsa yang beradab, seorang profesor yang berasal dari Brasil yaitu Prof.Santos telah melakukan sebuah penelitian geologi dan beliau menyatakan bahwasanya benua atlantis (negeri atlantis) yang merupakan benua yang hilang yang memiliki peradaban yang maju di zaman dahulu berada di samudera pasifik dan beliau juga menyatakan bahwasanya Indonesia adalah benua/negeri atlantis tersebut, hal tersebut adalah merupakan salah satu alasan mengapa fosil manusia purba tertua di temukan di Indonesia yaitu Pithecanthropus Erectus, apabila penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Prof. Santos benar adanya dapat kita bayangkan dahulu kita adalah bangsa yang besar, maju dan merdeka tetapi mengapa sekarang bangsa kita bisa seperti sekarang ini???

Enam Presiden telah memimpin negeri ini tetapi belum ada seorangpun yang dapat mewujudkan Indonesia yang merdeka dalam arti yang sesungguhnya sesuai dengan cita-cita para Founding Fathers dan Founding Mothers kita. Kedepan semoga para pemimpin kita selalu mau belajar dari pengalaman / sejarah, karna pengalaman / sejarah adalah guru yang sangat berharga, George Santayana seorang filosof Spanyol berpendidikan AS (1863-1952) pernah memperingatkan bahwa mereka yang gagal mengambil pelajaran dari sejarah dipastikan akan mengalami atau mengulangi pengalaman sejarah itu. Dan junjungan kita Nabi besar Muhammad SAW pernah mengatakan mengenai pentingnya belajar dari pengalaman atau kesadaran sejarah, Beliau berkata:

“Barang siapa memiliki masa sekarang yang lebih bagus dari masa lalunya, ia tergolong orang yang beruntung, bila masa sekarangnya sama dengan masa lalunya, ia termasuk orang yang merugi, bila masa sekarangnya lebih buruk dari masa lampaunya, ia tergolong orang yang bangkrut.”

Lantas yang menjadi pertanyaan sekarang adalah termasuk kebagian yang manakah bangsa kita sekarang ini??? Kemudian apakah keadaan bangsa Indonesia yang sekarang ini dapat dikatakan merupakan suatu kebangkitan nasional atau kebangkrutan nasional??? Wallahualam bisawaf.

Since it's July and all, and poison poon Clinton is out, and by demand, I decided to update this some. The other version with the info with Hillary Clinton in it is here. So let's start out with Barack Obama. In his Blueprint for Change thing, he even has the same navy blue and white color combo and font that a certain upscale clothes store uses on its bags and ads. So I'll call him Brooks Brother. It's pretty appropriate, don't you think?

Barack Obama

There’s not that much difference between my position and George Bush’s position at this stage. The difference, in my mind, is who’s in a position to execute.” – As quoted in the July 27, 2004 Chicago Tribune on the Iraqi invasion

Well, let’s see how he holds up against the Bush litmus test.

Bush says: We must take the fight to the terrorists so that we can be safe at home.

No difference here, as this Washington Post article shows:

Romney says that “the jihadist threat is the defining challenge of our generation,” as real as the threat that was posed by Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union, and he promises an appropriately sized response. Obama, albeit using slightly different terms, agrees: “To defeat al Qaeda, I will build a twenty-first-century military and twenty-first-century partnerships as strong as the anticommunist alliance that won the Cold War to stay on the offense everywhere from Djibouti to Kandahar.

Stay on the offensive? With what money? People seem to have this idea that we have this unlimited cache of money, and we can wage as many wars against as many countries as we want, without care of the consequences to our economy or for the regard of the innocent citizens of countries like Iraq, none of whom asked to be precision bombed to pieces by the coalition forces. The more money the government prints out to fund wars, the less it is worth. People are screaming with joy with the fact that the price of gold is soaring through the roof. It is doing so because it takes more dollars to buy the same amount.

Obama has also declared that he would not hesitate to send US troops into Pakistan, to root out Al-Qaeda.

At a debate in front of thousands of labor union activists Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama’s Democratic presidential rivals blasted him for his remarks about Pakistan. Last Wednesday, the Illinois senator said that if it were necessary to root out terrorists, he would send U.S. forces into Pakistan without the country’s approval.

And that’s on top of being for going into Iran. He also stated that “if we have actionable intelligence” on bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, and President Musharraf would not act, then we should.” You mean the same Al-Qaeda and Taliban that the US airlifted out of Afghanistan as the fighting broke out, as revealed by Seymour Hersh on PBS NOW?

The Greek philosopher Plato said something 2,000 years ago that rings as true then as it does now. “This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.” In a CFR essay, Renewing American Leadership, Obama says that he would start “investing more resources to defend mass transit, closing the gaps in our aviation security by screening all cargo on passenger airliners and checking all passengers against a comprehensive watch list.” The Bush no-fly list, no doubt.

Bush says: Illegal immigration is still illegal, but I won’t enforce it. I do ask, however, that you consent to being treated like a common criminal. Do it for the homeland.

In a Senate floor statement, Obama says that yes, the illegal immigrants are disrespecting our laws, but it is totally unreasonable to kick them out. I don’t think so. We are always sold this line of BS! There is always enough money to kill people, but not to feed the starving. There is always more than enough funding and equipment to terrorize the citizens, but never enough to solve real problems. There weren’t any problems during the ’04 Republican National Convention in New York getting a Fuji blimp to glide around the city surveilling everything. There was no problem getting the $35,000 soundwave weapons in, or for the sweeping up of people indiscriminately off the city streets and putting them in a makeshift concentration camp. Now I don’t hate immigrants. I love cultural diversity, but there are tens of millions of people living in abject poverty and too many of them want in here right now. There has to be reasonable regulation of this and we all know it. Obama also goes to bat in the floor statement for the cause of background checks for all Americans. Here are all the loopholes in the immigration bill that got passed. Are you a gang member? You’re in! All you have to do is to “renounce” your membership. Need to get in quick? Just find a non-relative American resident and get them to say you’ve been here for 5 years or more, and you are an instant American.

Bush says: Your car got repo’d and your house is going to be taken away any minute, but an itty bitty $600 check from me will solve all.

From Obama's campaign website:

"Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new “Making Work Pay” tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The “Making Work Pay” tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans."

Oh yes, very gracious. Just how is paying $1,000 less going to do anything, and how will it eliminate income taxes for all those people?

Obama also pushes for a carbon tax which many researchers for years now have been saying would happen based on the Illuminati’s own stated plans. He has sponsored a bill in the Senate called the Global Poverty Act, which commits itself to UN guidelines, specifically those of the UN Millenium Summit which, in the words of Jeffrey Sachs, the head of the UN Millenium project:

We will need, in the end, to put real resources in support of our hopes. A global tax on carbon-emitting fossil fuels might be the way to begin. Even a very small tax, less than that which is needed to correct humanity’s climate-deforming overuse of fossil fuels, would finance a greatly enhanced supply of global public goods.

Just to remove all doubt that he does support a carbon tax, Obama clarifies for us in his “Blueprint for Change”

Obama supports implementation of a market-based cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary: 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Obama ’s cap-and-trade system will require all pollution credits to be auctioned. A 100 percent auction ensures that all polluters pay for every ton of emissions they release, rather than giving these emission rights away to coal and oil companies.

Bold lying is so easy to get away with these people. He knows most Americans don’t read the papers, don’t look up voting records to see if their deeds match their words, and knows that so many are willing to give their power away for an hour of emotional feelgood. He goes on and on about the partisan politics, the bickering, oh it’s so divisive. Just look at the last three debates between him and Hillary Clinton. It is like some three year olds arguing over who has the best action figure. He nags us with the “You have to remember, I was one of the lone voices in the Senate who was against the Iraq war authorization” or some variant of that. Like we are supposed to worship him for doing his job. And he’s even lying about that. He has voted for over $300 billion of war appropriations bills and against removing most combat troops from Iraq by July ’07. He also voted to confirm Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State, voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and joined Republicans in passing the Class Action Fairness Act which as The Nation writer Dan Zegart reveals, closed off many class action lawsuits from being heard in state courts. This forced these cases to the unfriendly and overloaded federal courts, staffed with 678 federal judges as compared to the 9,200 state judges. This had nothing to do with shielding insurance companies from frivolous lawsuits and everything to do with protecting criminal corporations like Wal-Mart, which forced employees to work off the clock for no pay and allowed them no lunch breaks. Recently he also joined 68 other senators in voting for a bill that gives immunity to telecom companies involved in Bush's warrantless wiretap program, a move which was very disturbing even to his drones. He did that because he was following the orders of the same crew that owns McCain, Bush, and the Clintons.

Echelon, which started decades ago, is a sort of intelligence agency treaty tying together the combined capabilities of the US, Australia, Britain, and other European countries. Every single email, fax, phone call, or other electronic communication is scanned by AI programs for key words or phrases for whatever info they are interested in. As British and US reporters found out, the NSA taps in regularly and steals companies' inventions and secrets and passes it on to their own people so they can benefit from it. No point in being scared of them, all. So if they have this already then why go forward with a warrantless wiretap program, much less let it be publicized? It's called intimidation. They don't have the manpower to go after us all. Serious digression here, but this needed to be said.

Unbelievable as it seems, Obama was the number one campaigner for Robert C. Byrd in one of his election bids, a handler/abuser of mind controlled women and a proud former member of the Ku Klux Klan, who fought in his early days in the Senate to block the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When is it going to get in the minds of black voters that Obama doesn’t care at all about them? Does he say anything about the real issues that actually affect black Americans? Like the New York City social services taking black kids and handing them over to the drug companies to run drug tests on them? Does he have a plan to help out the struggling black communities and clean out the crime there? He has made it quite clear on several occasions that he is not running as a pro-black candidate, yet the general public somehow has this idea that he is. He would never have gotten elected to the Illinois State Senate if he didn’t do that work in Chicago. He only joined that church of his after being asked repeatedly what church he did go to.

Looking at Obama’s key advisors, we see not change but business as usual.

Austan Goolsbee/Economic advisor – Skull & Bones ’91. Canadian television reported that a discussion took place between Goolsbee and the Canadian ambassador to the US about Obama’s anti-NAFTA stance. In this, alledgedly, Goolsbee told the ambassador that Obama’s stance on this was just campaign rhetoric and nothing to worry about. Since he will not confirm or deny the conversation took place, saying merely that, “They contacted me at one point to say ‘hello’ because their office is around the corner but it is not correct that I contacted them at all,” If that is so, then why not just deny the conversation took place altogether? They were around the corner? Terrible cover story, Austan Goolsbee.

Zbigniew Brzezinski/Foreign policy advisor – Former National Security Advisor, Carter. Founded Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller. In a 1998 interview with the French paper Le Nouvel Observateur he bragged about how the US goaded the Soviets into invading Afghanistan by funding the mujahideen. When asked about having any regrets about the results of this, he said, “Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it?”
Well the Afghan people certainly do. The Soviet occupation of 1979-89 left more than a million dead, hundreds of thousands crippled, millions of land mines littering the country which kill dozens a month, and leaving the population with an average life expectancy of just 43 years. And then there was the Taliban. To call this guy psychopathic would be too kind.

Dennis Ross/Foreign policy advisor – Bill Clinton’s Middle East negotiator, oversaw US policy towards Israel & Palestine, pressed the idea that the human rights of the Palestinian people must be subordinate to the will of the Israeli government. If they want to expand their territory unchecked, steal houses, shoot children’s legs off for sport, traumatize the people by deliberately sonic booming their houses, or even cooking up ethnic specific weapons, then that’s A-OK!

Sarah Sewall/National security advisor – Clinton’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance. Wrote the introduction to Petraeus’s counterinsurgency handbook used in killing operations worldwide.

W. Anthony Lake/Foreign policy advisor – Bill Clinton’s National Security advisor, driving force behind US invasion of Haiti, supported World Bank & IMF ‘overhaul’ of the Haitian economy which wrecked the agricultural system, the economic walking stick of the country by flooding it with US rice, corn, and sugar surpluses. At present, most Haitians are living on just $2 a day. A 60-cent cup of rice is now to them what a fur coat is to us. Many have even resorted to eating dirt cookies just to survive.

In 1998 Obama joined a United Church of Christ congregation headed by a Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. Obama says this shaped his identity as an African-American. BS!
It shaped his strategy of church style mind control over people, more like. This is totally obvious when you see the way he poses and phrases his words and speeches. A lot of pictures and magazine covers with Obama in them have a weird white glow to them, as if to emphasize the “holiness” of Obama. Just look at his campaign website. It's right there in front of you. These are way too many to be a coincidence. This shows deliberate hypnotism being used on the public. Hitler and the way he acted was described to be very similar to what is seen at an Obama rally. German-Jews who are still alive today from the Nazi days remember him having an eerie charisma, just being swept up by him…”you had to be there to understand it.”

Richard Thaler, a professor of economics and behavioral science at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, talks some great talk about the state of the human mind:

What is the big idea of Richard Thaler, the economist quoted by David Cameron and Barack Obama? It comes down to this: you're not as smart as you think. Humans, he believes, are less rational and more influenced by peer pressure and suggestion than governments and economists reckon.

"Economists assume people have brains like supercomputers that can solve anything," says Thaler. "But human minds are more like really old Apple Macs with slow processing speeds and prone to frequent crashes."

According to this view, voters are less Mr Spock than Homer Simpson and they could do with a bit of help - what Thaler terms a "nudge" - to save more, eat more healthily and do all the other things that they know they should.

And serve their masters. Yes. We know we should, don't we?

He and another academic, Cass Sustein, co-authored a book called Nudge elaborating on this methodology. This guy is seen as so good in his field that when he stopped by London to do some teaching, five Conservative Party members met with him to pick his brain and see how they could work together. Plans were made too for a future meeting to integrate his nudgings into public policy. But they're not alone. The Obama campaign made sure that they got on the nudge gravy train.

Sunstein has been friends with Obama since the 1990s, when both were law professors at the University of Chicago, while Thaler met the presidential hopeful when he was in the Illinois race for the senate in 2004. "Back then, Obama was, as he said, 'the skinny guy with the funny name' and nobody - including me - had heard of him. But I was just blown away and for the first time in my life wrote a cheque to a politician," says Thaler.

He "talks a lot" to Obama's camp, especially the chief economics adviser, Austan Goolsbee. "We gave Goolsbee the book when it was still in proof. He read the whole thing and just lifted some parts."

Like I said in April in the original version of this article, the Illuminati have switched horses mid-race. Obama, with his holy rockstar style, his skin color to provide him with the body armor of political correctness, and the fact that he has varied and singularly unique (Larry Sinclair and communist leanings) skeletons in his closet, makes him the perfect puppet for the agenda of global takeover. And that's why he'll get the presidency. McCain has too much dirt in his closet, and is far too robotic and stiff to ever be seen as the strong god-king leader type most people so love to tell them what to do. Bob Barr and Nader are just there to grab votes away from McCain. There'll be some table scrap whitey type scandals thrown to the people, and there may be a cliffhanger or two, but, unless there's some miracle and the American people start thinking for themselves and doing research to see what Obama has actually done while in the Senate, he's pretty much got this in the bag.

John McCain

“At the smallest provocation I would go off into a mad frenzy, and then suddenly crash to the floor unconscious. When I got angry I held my breath until I blacked out.” – McCain on his early youth as quoted by his biographer Robert Timberg

Crazy, huh? This is the image of himself that he’d like you to hold in your mind: War hero, champion of veterans rights, moral crusader, environmentalist, and conscientious objector to business as usual in Washington. Let’s see the image he wouldn’t.

Considering that he is supposed to be this big war hero who endured five agonizing years of torture, it is impossible to reconcile this with the fact that he has consistently and viciously blocked every attempt by families of Vietnam POWs to get them back to the US. He has pushed through and amended legislation in order to block not only the release of information about POWs and MIAs that were still in Vietnam after the war, despite massive evidence of them being alive, but also the release of his own military records.

He comes across as being sympathetic to veterans who are being denied healthcare, who have to pay for their own meals at military hospitals while they recover from getting their arms and legs blown off, and how they have to wait for eons to get their benefits.. But is McCain really speaking from his heart or a script? He has made it perfectly clear he isn’t against torture, when he voted against a bill to ban it, as reported by the NY Times: “The leading Republican presidential candidate, Senator John McCain of Arizona, a former prisoner of war who steadfastly opposes the use of torture, voted against the bill. Mr. McCain said the ban would limit the C.I.A.’s ability to gather intelligence. “We always supported allowing the C.I.A. to use extra measures,” he said.” Sprinkling in some doublespeak, he says that he believes torture is illegal and should be banned. Voted for the Military Commissions Act, which we are told applies only to enemy combatants. It permits trials without the accused present, gives the Secretary of Defense the power to appoint judges, allows evidence gotten without warrants, and makes it so lawyers cannot see their clients without government monitoring. Former Attorney General Gonzales has said that the president can strip Americans of their citizenship, turning them into enemy combatants, which makes it applicable to American citizens. Voted no to establishing mandatory rest periods for the troops between deployments, which would be a great help in reducing post traumatic stress disorder. Speaking of PTSD, McCain voted against a bill that would have provided $500 million for veterans mental health services like rehab and counseling. These are the actions of someone who hates veterans, not one who sympathizes with them.

McCain’s insane rages are well documented, including his horrible treatment of POW & MIA family members who only wish to have their families whole again. No one is immune apparently, not even his own colleagues on the Senate floor, as this UK Guardian article exposes: “McCain’s political colleagues, however, know another side of the action hero - a volatile man with a hair-trigger temper, who shouted at Senator Ted Kennedy on the Senate floor to “shut up”, and called fellow Republican senators “shithead … fucking jerk … asshole”. A few months ago, McCain suddenly rushed up to a friend of mine, a prominent Washington lawyer, at a social event, and threatened to beat him up because he represented a client McCain happened to dislike. Then, just as suddenly, profusely and tearfully, he apologised.”

He claims to care about the environment, riding the global warming bandwagon, which is a fiction. Record snowfalls this winter in the US and snow in places where historically there has been little or none such as Iraq, tear this apart. Anyway…back in the 80s, the University of Arizona tried to get seven deep space telescopes on forest lands which were home to several endangered plant and animal species, and a sacred mountain to the San Carlos Apache, Mt. Graham. McCain introduced a bill to exempt the project from the Endangered Species Act and the Native American Religious Freedom Act. When the forest supervisor halted construction on the lands, McCain threatened him, saying that he’d be “the shortest tenured forest supervisor in the history of the Forest Service.” When two concerned citizens went to his office to discuss Mt. Graham, McCain let loose on them: “The doctors say that at the mention of the words Mount Graham McCain erupted into a violent fit. “He slammed his fists on his desk, scattering papers across the room”, Silver tells us. “He jumped up and down, screaming obscenities at us for at least 10 minutes. He shook his fists as if he was going to slug us. It was as violent as almost any domestic abuse altercation.”

Another example of McCain’s regard for his fellow man is his helping the Peabody Coal Company, the biggest coal company in the US, to steal coal-rich land from the Arizona Dineh Navajo Indians, which they have occupied for hundreds of years. Spearheading legislation which, in a modern day Trail of Tears scenario, thousands were thrown out their homelands and into a nuclear waste dump site, resulting in the birth defects that inevitably come. McCain’s price? His wife’s beer distribution company getting beer contracts from the Vegas casinos who get low-cost power as a result. A UN report on the environmental impact reads: “The Black Mesa region in Arizona, USA is home to the indigenous communities of the Dineh (Navajo) and Hopi peoples. This region also contains major deposits of coal which are being extracted by North America’s largest strip mining operation. The coal mines have had a major impact on families in the region. Local water sources have been poisoned, resulting in the death of livestock. Homes near the mines suffer from blasting damage. The coal dust is pervasive, as well as smoke from frequent fires in the stockpiles. Not coincidentally, the people in the area have an unusually high incidence of kidney and respiratory disease. “

McCain also was one of the Keating 5, five senators who took more than $300,000 from Charles Keating Jr, who owned Lincoln Savings & Loan, a subsidiary of his American Continental Corp. It was facing bankruptcy and government seizure because of his stealing depositors’ money. He turned to McCain and four other senators, who got federal regulators to back off the case. In the end, the government paid for the bailout, all $2 billion of it. McCain treated reporters pressing him about his wife’s business relationship with Keating to his classic charm, saying, “That’s the spouse’s involvement, you idiot,” and, “It’s up to you to find that out, kids.” Right after that came the “we need to drive out the special interests” McCain. I guess the corporate donors didn’t get that memo. His top donors include employees of Merill Lynch, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley.

Some of the creepy crawlies backing him up include:

Henry Kissinger/Informal advisor – National Security advisor and Secretary of State, Reagan. Also was Secretary of State under Ford. Notorious for his comment about military men, where he calls them “dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy” Assured Indonesian dictator Suharto that, should he invade and conquer East Timor, US-Indonesian relations would remain strong. An estimated 200,000 Timorese were massacred and starved to death as a result. Went the same road with Argentina, after the military overthrew the democratically elected president, assured them that the US was its ally and would not cause it unnecessary difficulties, and urged them to finish up before Congress reconvened. This amid mass executions and “disappearances” of 30,000 people. Also instrumental in ordering the coup in Chile and putting in Pinochet, who also instituted mass civil repressions, executions, and arrests.

Max Boot/Foreign policy advisor – CFR, neocon, advocated putting pressure on China and South Korea to cut off subsidies and fuel shipments to North Korea, an already poverty-stricken population where 2 million people have already starved to death while the hereditary dictator, Kim Jong-il, lives in luxury with a 2,000+ girl harem, private screenings of the latest Hollywood movies, and the finest gourmet food imported from around the world.

Alexander Haig – Knight of Malta, Reagan’s Secretary of State, former head of NATO in Europe. Helped oversee death squads in Central America who killed, tortured, and raped nuns and other religious workers. Famous for his unlawful declaration of “I’m in control here” when Reagan was incapacitated after an assassination attempt.

Brent Scowcroft – National Security advisor, Reagan & HW Bush. After the Tiananmen massacre, went and reassured the Chinese dictatorship that the American public opinion meant nothing and that relations would not suffer one bit.

Robert McFarlane/Energy & National security advisor – Another backer of the contras along with John Negroponte and Alexander Haig.

Robert Kagan/Informal foreign policy advisor – CFR member, neocon swampmonster, co-founder, Project for the New American Century.

Bill Kristol/Informal foreign policy advisor – Editor of the Weekly Standard, Bilderberg attendee, co-founder, PNAC. Stated in ’02 that a war in Iraq could have “terrifically good effects throughout the Middle East.”

About the only real difference between McCain and Bush is that one looks like Frankenstein and the other doesn’t. When asked about Iran he rolls out the same lines that Bush, Obama, Hillary and all the rest do. Here’s his wording of the script: “I intend to make it unmistakably clear to Iran that we will not permit a government that espouses the destruction of … Israel . . .and pledges undying enmity to the United States to possess weapons to advance their malevolent ambitions,” Suddeutschen Zeitung quoted the senator as saying.” He is for open borders, as shown by his support for the “immigration reform” bill, says we may have to stay in Iraq for 100 years, and has threatened North Korea with extinction. In too many ways, he is actually more aggressive than Bush, as the LA Times confirms:

More than three years before the Bush administration elucidated the radical doctrine of preemptive war, McCain unveiled a plan during his first run at the presidency called “rogue-state rollback,” in which “we politically and materially support indigenous forces within and outside of rogue states” — including Iraq, North Korea and Serbia — “to overthrow regimes that threaten our interests and values.” And if the “odious regimes” crack down on freedom fighters, the U.S. should respond with force. In that campaign, McCain was the neocons’ choice against the more internationally “humble” George Bush.

Since McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, he is not even eligible to be president! But as always, little things like laws will never be allowed to get in the way of the Illuminati agenda. Just ask the New Orleans gun owners. And the survivors of Waco.

Time and time again, we see that every presidential candidate is closely related to European royalty, or to one of the other ones. In 2004 Harold Brooks-Baker, publishing director of Burke’s Peerage, the encyclopedic bible of European aristocratic genealogy, said about the subject of US presidential candidates:

Brooks-Baker said there has always been a significant “royalty factor” in those who aspired to the White House, with Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan among others all with strong blue blood links.

The chance of winning certainly seems much higher with more royal connections and one could make a big case that royal genes or chromosomes will tell,” Brooks-Baker said.

A common way of pooh-poohing the bloodline connections between presidents is to say the usual, everyone's related if you go back far enough. Not this closely related! Obama, according to various media outlets is Dick Cheney’s 9th cousin, although Cheney’s wife says that they are actually 8th cousins. She would probably be in a better position to know, wouldn’t she? Hillary Clinton is also closely related to Barbara Bush and the queen demon herself, Elizabeth II of England, as we can see from these genealogical charts. According to New England Historical Society genealogist Christopher Child, Obama's a 10th cousin once removed of George W. Bush, and McCain is a 6th cousin of Laura Bush. Note that Brooks-Baker said there has always been a significant royalty factor. This means that no election has ever been of the people and by the people. I understand people coming across this information for the first time might rightly be shocked and a little skeptical, but why is it that the ratio of people in positions of power belonging to secret societies like the Freemasons, Skull & Bones, and Knights of Malta is so high compared to those who are not? The Freemasons admit proudly on their own websites that most of the American presidents, royalty, leading businessmen, and heads of state are Freemasons.

Do you want something better for America? Then why hold onto the attitude of, "they aren't popular, he doesn't have a chance, I won't vote for them". A single grain of rice won't feed anybody. But lots and lots of grains together can fill even the hungriest tummy. America is pretty hungry. Nourishing America, and the rest of the world, even, won't start with a new god or Ron Paul. If some hero comes riding over the hill and does all the work for us, we won't learn anything and just will manifest the same situation somewhere down the road again. No, it'll start with every individual and the choices each of us make every moment of our lives.

By Mark Baard:

17 years ago -- long before Al Gore told us we were destroying the Earth -- a small, extremely powerful group of scientists, diplomats and royals planned their crackdown on the planet's human population. which they feared were growing mistrustful of their leaders.

The plan: to tighten control of the people to such a degree that they will act "as a single nervous system," with an unwavering faith in their governments and political parties.

Today, marketing people are answering the call from that same elite group, the self-appointed Council of the Club of Rome, to launch grassroots campaigns promoting the Council's "we are one" concept.

The marketers are also making enemies of anyone who opposes their environmental cause.

In the 1991 book "The First Global Revolution," the Club of Rome lays out its plan to blame humans for all water shortages, diseases and famine, caused by "global warming." The book suggests that too many humans are consuming too much food and fuel, and can be blamed as the primary cause of climate changes.

In other words, the "real enemy" of humanity will be "humanity itself," Club of Rome founder Alexander King and secretary-general Bertrand Schneider write in "The First Global Revolution."

"The First Global Revolution" is the same global warming propaganda manifesto Alan Watt often cites on his radio programs.

Most mainstream reporters have never bothered to read the book.

Perhaps that is why no one bats an eye when someone like the Canadian marketer Philip McMaster launches a grassroots movement -- with its own, Masonic-looking hand sign -- encouraging all humans to "Act as One, Care as One, Project as One, and Be One." (See link and excerpt, below.)

If you dare to demand your birthright as an individual, by the way, God (or gods) help you: There is no life for you outside the "One."

McMaster, for example, calls those that are One, "the good-guys," an obvious slight to those of us who don't get his global warming message.

The Club of Rome itself sees "the good guys" as those willing to participate in collectivism. (King and Schneider applaud the rise of "the people's power," and "collective values.")

Human depopulation is another virtue to be embraced, according to the authors of "The First Global Revolution."

Note: At the beginning of the audio interview shown below, Estulin states that the Bilderberg group is not a Masonic or Jewish conspiracy. Unfortunately, he reveals his indoctrination into the New World Order by not mentioning the J word. The Bilderberg group is replete with Freemasons and Jews and of course, it's about a new world order or as Estulin states a "One World Government." Powerful world Jewry has been planning this takeover, at least, the past 60 years if not longer. The United States is already under their complete control. Israel and the Jews own us! Don't think for one minute that they will stop with America. Not a chance. They won't quit until a central bank is in every country on the planet and every goyim is under their thumbs. ~WW~

"In 1954, the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family at the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg in the small Dutch town of Oosterbeck. For an entire weekend, the debated the future of the world. When it was over, they decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. They named themselves the Bilderberg Group. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world to try to decide the future of humanity. Among the select members of this club are Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Tony Blair and many other heads of government, businessmen, politicians, bankers and journalists from all over the world," writes journalist Daniel Estulin in the opening paragraph of the introduction to his must-read book, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group.

"Nevertheless, in the more than fifty years of their meetings, the press has never been allowed to attend, no statements have ever been released on the attendees' conclusions, nor has any agenda for a Bilderberg meeting been made public," Estulin notes.

For some 15 years, Estulin has been a thorn in the sides of the Bilderbergers, relentlessly hunting down their secret meeting places, gaining inside sources who divulge what goes on behind closed doors, even photographing attendees and publicly disclosing it all. Now he has put it all in a book that every person who values freedom and democracy should read.

The Bilderbergers are so secretive that they even try to hide, until the last minute, the location of their gathering places. Attendance is by invitation only and if an invitee's name is publicly disclosed beforehand, he or she is disinvited.

Perhaps these three quotes will explain what the secrecy is all about. The Times of London in 1977 called the Bilderbergers "a clique of the richest, economically and politically most powerful and influential men in the Western world, who meet secretly to plan events that later appear just to happen."

Said Bilderberg Group founder Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands, "It is difficult to re-educate people who have been brought up on nationalism to the idea of relinquishing part of their sovereignty to a supranational body." (The late prince has been replaced by his daughter, Queen Beatrix, who regularly attends the Bilderberg meetings.)

Former British Defense Minister Denis Healey, put it this way, "World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; and most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse strings."

Every US president since Eisenhower has either belonged to the Bilderberg Group or its older parallel group, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), or been approved by them. As Estulin wrote, the race is no contest when you own both horses. That is why no matter which political party is in power nothing really changes other than the packaging. The puppets who drink at the champagne fountains of the powerful do the bidding of their masters. The people are superfluous to the process.

And it's not just in the US. The Bilderberg Group and its parallel groups, among which are the CFR, the Trilateral Commission (founded by David Rockefeller and Brzezinski), the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) based at Chatham House in London, and their interlocking memberships are at work throughout the Western world and are endeavoring to get their hooks into the rest. The European Union is their baby.

When Bilderberger Margaret Thatcher, the high priestess of privatization, balked on adopting the euro as the UK's currency, the Bilderbergers had her dumped as prime minister and replaced by John Major.

Like the CFR, which in the course of its history has embraced and financed the Bolsheviks, Communists, Socialists, Nazis and fascists, the Bilderbergers also play all sides. Thus, in 1980, the Bilderbergers decided François Mitterand was to be resurrected and restored to power as France's next president. After attending the 1999 Bilderberg meeting, Romano Prodi was sworn in as president of Europe in the fall of that year; when his termed ended in 2005, he was elected prime minister of Italy.

Estulin makes it clear that these people will use any means -- legal or illegal -- in pursuit of their goal of total subjugation to their New World Order or One World Company, as they prefer to call it: wars, coups, assassinations; control of banking, finance, business, the media, education (dumbing down all but an elite needed to run things) and even religion to keep people in check.

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

Incorporated in this group are the neoconservatives -- "those who have determined that Israel's security should come at the expense of the safety to the United States and be central to all US foreign policy decisions." Richard Perle is a regular attendee at Bilderberg meetings. Michael Ledeen attended the 2005 meeting.

Media moguls such as Rupert Murdock, the now disgraced Conrad Black, Viacom (parent company of CBS) CEO Sumner Redstone, the Washington Post's Katherine Graham (now deceased), Washington Post columnists Jim Hoagland and Charles Krauthammer, New York Times Editor Arthur Sulzberger and columnist Thomas L. Friedman, William F. Buckley, Jr., and Bill Moyers have all been Bilderberg meeting invitees.

"The ideas and policies that come out of the Bilderberg annual meetings are used to generate the news in the leading periodicals and news groups of the world. The point is to make the prevalent opinions of the Bilderbergers so appealing that they become public policy and to pressure world leaders unto submitting to the 'needs of the Masters of the Universe.' The 'free world press' is completely at the mercy of the Bilderbergers disseminating the agreed upon propaganda," Estulin points out.

This is just a smattering of the information Estulin has managed to pack into his well-written 340-page book, complete with photographs, documents and an index.

If all this seems far-fetched, look around. America has been stripped of its industrial base. The good jobs have been or are being offshored, while Americans are working harder and longer at service sector jobs for less pay and fewer to no benefits. Americans have been dumbed down in public and private schools, universities and colleges. Their only worth now is as consumers of mainly foreign made goods. They are kept in check by religion, sports, idiotic "reality" TV, video games and anything else that turns off thinking.

Democracy, freedom and national sovereignty are anathema to the wannabe masters of the universe. But the Bilderbergers and their parallel groups and allied think tanks have been working to do away with all three. Elections have been rigged. The US, Canada and Great Britain are on the verge of becoming police states, thanks to the bogus "war on terror" used to pump up people's fears. All that remains in their grand plan is to replace the last vestiges of sovereign nations with a series of regional unions that they will control via the United Nations, outlawing all nationalism.

But they may have overplayed their hand, as the grand scheme is fraying around the edges. Not all Europeans are ready to surrender their countries' sovereignty to the EU. Canadians who know more about the plan for a North American Union than Americans are diametrically opposed to it. A revitalized Russia, which has a historical wariness of outsiders, has its own ideas. And despite all the Western investment in China, Beijing is proving to be a problem in its refusal to float the yuan to bail out the financial mess the greedy Bilderberger bankers and financiers have made, which may explain the Carlyle Group's sale of 9.9 percent of itself to the Chinese as a hoped for hook to bring China to their table.

As the old adage says, knowledge is power, and Daniel Estulin is providing every reader of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group with the knowledge they need to aid in destroying the Bilderbergers' grand plan by bringing it to the attention of family, friends and colleagues. It is up to us to get this book into as many hands as possible, because Estulin will get no help promoting it from the corporate media.

Collectively, the people hold the power to save themselves and that frightens the Bilderbergers and their cohorts the most. But that power is useless if the people refuse to exercise it or surrender it to those who would enslave us.

Interview with investigator and author, Daniel Estulin, on his book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group"

BILDERBERG: THE SYSTEMIC CONSPIRACY - Daniel Estulin
Snowshoefilms series: Daniel Estulin, author of The Bilderberg Group, exposes the men behind the curtain, the "owners" and their scribes and bureaucrats. Though Estulin totally buys into the Bilderberg-orchestrated Peak Oil hoax, he also importantly helps demystify the Bilderbergs. Toronto Oct. 19, 2007.

BILDERBERG: BIG, BAD & UGLY: Daniel Estulin
The 'post-industrial planet' (a depopulated world) and how to achieve it is the sub-rosa BB agenda. The BBs own everything, control everything (nearly). Over the past decade, Bilderberg-watcher Daniel Estulin has exposed parts of the hidden agenda and players: who gets to be president or prime minister or head of the World Bank, and when. People who do their dirty work big time, like Philip Zelikow, get invited back again and again. Author Estulin here comments on the Bilderberg "planned wholesale destruction of the planet [which] has to be organized and controlled. If it gets out of control, then suddenly they don't have their hands on the outcome." The BBs have all they want and now they want less, less of us.

BILDERBERG: DEMAND DESTRUCTION - Daniel Estulin
In early 2007, Daniel Estulin, on Dutch TV, exposed the meeting place and names of the Istanbul Bilderberg get-together. He also exposed the Bilderberg plan of global population reduction (3 billion or so), through mass starvation, diseases, and Peak Oil-induced de-industrialization. That "plan," Estulin notes, was initiated by Bilderberg operative Henry Kissinger in 1974 (NSSM 200) after Nixon had been forced out the the White House. Estulin says he himself is a front man (the writer and public face) for a group of intelligence agents (mostly ex-KGB) from Estulin's native Estonia. Part of a family of emigres from the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s, Daniel Estulin first found refuge in Canada. A Flamenco guitarist in addition to Bilderberg slueth, the author lives in Seville, Spain. After 10 years of peripheral intrigue, watching and reporting on the world's elite (the Owners and their Trusted Servants), Estulin sympathizes with the Bilderberg mantra of 'Peak Oil' and the consequent Bilderberg argument for massive population reduction in their effort to bring about a 'post-industrial world'. Shades of Parson Malthus with a Leo Straussian twist, the BBs.

But wait! Take a gander at Lindsey Williams, on youtube, for starters. Williams was a southern Baptist preacher who reckoned the 25,000 men going up to build the Alaska pipeline needed Jesus. He got hired on in 1970 as Arco's chaplain. The public relations office saw what a good job he was doing, flying around from camp to camp, preaching Jesus (less fights, less drinking, fewer days off, less need of counseling for the thousands of men building the pipeline). ARCO gave Baptist preacher Rev. Lindsey Williams executive status, inviting him to sit in on board meetings. Rev. Williams did this for three years. And he sat in on the euphoric 1973 ARCO board meeting announcing an enormous North Shore oil discovery. All the gears were in motion to tell the world. Rev. Williams videos and book tell what happened. But, an addendum: just a cursory look suggests that plugging the Alaskan ARCO coincides with the heavy-duty moves to implement the Bilderberg plan (see NSSM 200, above).

BILDERBERG: MALTHUS REVISITED - Daniel Estulin
Bilderberg sleuth and best-selling author Estulin provides a photo review of some Bilderbergers (et al), past and present, with comment on the 'Muslim threat' (nonsense, a Big Lie), the UN (under the control of the BBs & the world's self-appointed elite), Noam Chomsky (left gatekeeper), Putin (wants what's Russia's for Russia), depleted uranium (one of the [BB's] ways of getting rid of populations). Peak Oil is Malthus's wet dream. Capitalism's 1st Shill was Parson Malthus. The photo of the Three Monkeys criminals photo ('Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil') Sec. of State Madeleine Albright, Sec. of Defense William Cohen and Bilderberg wonderboy Bill Clinton is illustrative of their contempt. For Canadians, boycott Chapters, and Indigo Books (it aint much, but it's a start).

Conspiracies and Underdogs

From the Boston Herald:

Suffolk County prosecutors are investigating allegations that as much as $1.5 million was embezzled from funds within the headquarters of the secretive Massachusetts Grand Lodge of Masons, sources said.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State William F. Galvin’s Securities Division is launching its own separate probe of the Grand Lodge’s finances, sending a letter of inquiry yesterday to giant financial house UBS for information on its business dealings with the ancient fraternal order, according to a source.

A law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the Suffolk probe told the Herald yesterday that members of the lodge discovered the financial irregularities and took their findings to authorities, who have in turn launched a criminal probe that is zeroing in on two Mason officials.

Authorities within Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley’s office are investigating the potential embezzlement of about $1.5 million over an eight-year period, the source said.

Conley declined to comment through a spokesman. “I cannot confirm or deny any potential investigation,” said Jake Wark.

Assistant Grand Treasurer Craig S. MacPherson referred questions to Grand Secretary Jeffrey L. Gardiner, who acknowledged that a probe is under way but declined to give any other information.

“We can’t make any comment during the investigation,” he said yesterday.

UBS, which Galvin has charged with fraud and dishonest conduct in a separate civil case involving the sale of auction-rate securities to clients, has many business dealings with various Mason entities, sources said.

Galvin’s office has asked UBS to provide by July 25 a description of “the inception of the client relationships and services, the broker or brokers of record, the supervisor of the brokers and documents and materials furnished to the (Massachusetts Grand) Lodge by UBS,” the source said, quoting the letter.

A UBS spokeswoman declined comment yesterday.

The Suffolk and Galvin probes could prove to be yet another blow for area Masons, who several years ago were hit with a scandal involving former money-manager and radio-station owner Brad Bleidt. He was convicted of swindling tens of millions of dollars from area investment victims, many of them Masons.

Bleidt, who used to be a Mason, is now serving time at the federal prison in Fort Dix, N.J.

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

A Chicago-area scholar, Christopher Jon Bjerknes, 42, thinks he knows what plagues mankind and believes his knowledge is necessary to stop Armageddon.

He says a heretical cult, the "Shabataian Frankists," controls organized Jewry, including Zionism and Freemasonry. They began as followers of Shabatai Zvi (1626-1676) and later Jacob Frank (1726-1791.) They believe Shabatai was the Messiah (God) and his soul has transmigrated down to the Rothschild dynasty, who are now the "king of the Jews."

According to their messianic system, Redemption requires that the Rothschilds become God, i.e. king of the world. This will see the sacrifice of 2/3 of all Jews and the destruction and enslavement of the rest of mankind. Bjerknes believes this demented creed actually is the motive force behind history, including all wars, and world government.

Bjerknes (B-YERK-NES) is proud of his Norwegian Jewish heritage, (his maternal grandfather, a famous musician, was Jewish.) He has written two massive books-- one about Albert Einstein as a plagiarist, and another about the Shabataian inspired Armenian Genocide -- that include hundreds of pages of suppressed Jewish history. They can be found as PDFs at his web site http:// www.jewishracism.com/

I think he exaggerates the importance of Jewish messianism but I may be wrong. His message is compelling and consistent with the Protocols of Zion where the author (whom I believe is Lionel Rothschild) talks about coming into his "kingdom."

The Shabataians believe their king is duty bound to restore the Jews to Israel and exterminate the Gentiles. They believe the Messiah won't appear until the world succumbs to evil and are determined to make this prophecy self-fulfilling. Thus evil is good. In Bjerknes' view, this constitutes a "Jewish war against humanity." When Bjerknes refers to Jewish, he means "Shabataian."

The Shabataians are often sexual degenerates who engage in wife swapping, orgies and incest. They often pretend to be Christians or Moslems to worm their way into Gentile society in order to destroy it. ("Jewish Genocide of Armenian Christians," pp.64-65.)

Bjerknes cites Deuteronomy as an example of this Jewish supremacism: "the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. " (7-16) "And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of you." (28:10)

He points to Zachariah [13;8-9] as evidence that 2/3 of all Jews will be slaughtered: "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein."

[9] "And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God." (He also cites Ezekiel 5:12-13 to this effect.)

On pp. 43-46 of "Jewish Genocide", Bjerknes cites references from the Talmud and the Old Testament to the extermination and enslavement of Gentiles.

For example ,Genesis 25;23, and 27;38-41 promises the Gentiles to the Jews as their slaves and slave soldiers, and gives an incentive to exterminate the Gentiles simply because they dare resent their fate.

ROTHSCHILDS FOLLOW BIBLICAL BLUEPRINT

At the beginning of the 19th century the Rothschilds started campaigning to return the Jews to Israel, purchasing land there and scheming to breakup the Ottoman Empire. They later bought the Suez Canal to project their power into the Middle East. Bjerknes writes:

"The ruin of the Turkish Empire and the mass murder of the Armenian Christians were one step on the long and tumultuous Jewish march toward the death of mankind. The ruin of the Russian empire was another, followed by the repeated destruction of Europe, particularly Germany in the World Wars this Jewish cult created in an attempt to artificially fulfill Messianic prophecy and force the Jews of Europe against their will to flee to Palestine." (66)

According to Bjerknes, Jewish support was the only thing lacking in the the Rothschilds' plan to establish a world government in Jerusalem, with them as king:

"They could bankrupt Egypt and Turkey. They could bring Russia to ruins. They could buy Jewish ne'er-do-wells. They could even buy the Pope but the only way to force Jews in large numbers to Palestine was to put Hitler and Stalin in power and persecute Jews on a massive and unprecedented scale." (291)

CHRISTIANS ARE BEING DUPED

Bjerknes has a poignant warning to Christians:

"In the Jewish dominated media of today, we find many Jews preaching to the public that the end times are coming and that Christians ought to view their own destruction in a positive light as if it were the divine fulfillment of Christian and Jewish prophecy. Many Christians have been duped by these charlatan...the destruction of the world and its nations is occurring as the result of the deliberate intervention of immensely wealthy Jews and not as the result of God's will. These Jewish leaders view the Hebrew Bible as a plan, which they are deliberately fulfilling.... (327)

WHERE BJERKNES AND I DIFFER

As my readers know I see the New World Order as an elite conspiracy driven primarily by the central bankers' need to consolidate their monopoly on credit and power. I believe there is a strong "Jewish" element but that they have co-opted all gentile elites using intermarriage, Freemasonry (run by the Illuminati), and Aryanism. Look at the Gentile membership of the Illuminati Skull and Bones for example. Bjerknes doesn't think the Illuminati is still in business and downplays the Gentile role.

In an email, Bjerknes writes that intermarriage is part of the "Jewish" strategy:

"I believe that powerful Jewish interests have been deliberately attempting to fulfill Jewish messianic prophecy for 2,500 years and have duped many Gentiles into helping them obtain their objectives. They have also recruited many Gentiles through intermarriage, friendship and selfish interests, who are not dupes, but commit inhuman acts out of greed, vanity, or for other immoral reasons. Do they believe that what they are doing is evil? I suspect some do.

I am not opposed to identifying secret societies and the ties among the elite. I simply do not see any justification for calling them Illuminati. As for the overall path of politics and the faces of those who are pushing the cart toward WW III, I think I and countless others have proven that it is a Jewish movement, and that the Illuminati were nothing but a small part of this Jewish movement to gin up an apocalypse, which dates back at least 2,500 years. Of course not everything happening today has a Jewish hand steering its course. But I do believe that powerful Jewish interests ...have the ability to exert more influence than all other groups combined, for the very reason that they have infiltrated so many organizations, religions and governments, and have such disproportionate influence in the media."

CONCLUSION

I wouldn't be presenting Bjerknes' argument if I didn't agree that it is important to examine Jewish messianism. If world events indeed are driven by the Rothschild's megalomania propped up by Shabataian, Old Testament and Talmudic fanaticism, I think Jews and non-Jews alike would want to know, and take exception.

Certainly the role of Jewish Rothschild agents in advocating for the Iraq war and an attack on Iran is consistent with the profile above.

If Bjerknes is right, "anti-Semitism" is exposed as psychological warfare designed to disarm opposition to an insidious tyranny by portraying it as racist. It is also used to manipulate Jews who have been opposed to the Rothschild's insane agenda, and victims of it.

Power brokers due at Bohemian Grove
Annual encampment to start Friday, sans protests

Mary Callahan | July 10, 2008

Legions of summer camp-goers spreading out around Sonoma County will be joined this weekend by some of the nation’s most powerful campers as the annual two-week encampment at the Bohemian Grove opens Friday night.

The super-secret Bohemian Club and its guests meet each summer in the 2,700-acre Monte Rio grove for what they say is fellowship and good-natured high-jinx — a break from the grueling grind of leadership.

But critics, who until recent years mounted protests outside its gates, say the gatherings serve as strategy sessions for a New World Order operating outside democratic institutions.

While the grove’s motto — “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here” — specifically targets arachnids, the club excludes all but the nation’s most powerful and well-connected individuals, according to critics.

Founded in 1872 by five San Francisco men seeking to connect “gentlemen” with art, literature, music and drama, the all-male club is said to have included a variety of political, financial, military and industrial leaders.

Among them: Presidents Ronald Reagan, Richard M. Nixon and both Bushes; former cabinet members Colin Powell, George Schultz and Henry Kissinger; and industrialists Stephen David Bechtel, Leonard Firestone and David Rockefeller.

The clandestine nature of the summer retreat promotes broad speculation and endless theorizing about what goes on there.

Most critics raise the specter of national policy with global implications coming from behind the gates of an exclusive, closed-door gathering of largely conservative, wealthy white men.

This year’s encampment begins Friday night and runs through July 27. The traditional Cremation of Care ritual, in which a human effigy representing “dull care” is burned beneath a massive form said to represent the club’s owl mascot, will be Saturday night.

Traffic already had picked up at the Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport on Thursday, though just how much was uncertain, said Glenn Barrett, general manager of KaiserAir Santa Rosa Jet Center, one of two such agencies at the airport.

Thursdays are typically busy, especially in the summer, but with about 45 arrivals scheduled or completed by mid-day, the volume of incoming flights was above normal, which ranges anywhere from 10 to 40 aircraft, Barrett said.

Barrett, who is new at the company, which provides a range of concierge services, said, “My understanding is that basically these three weeks are pretty much the busiest three weeks of the year generally speaking.”

Bush, McCain & Obama To Visit Bohemian Grove?

Paul Joseph Watson | July 11, 2008

Outgoing President George W. Bush and both of his presumptive replacements John McCain and Barack Obama are rumored to be in attendance at this year’s Bohemian Grove gathering, an annual get-together of the global elite staged inside a sprawling forest encampment which kicks off tonight and runs until July 27.

Bohemian Grove is a 136-year-old all-male encampment complete with restaurants, bars, stages and lodges, which caters to around 2,000 members of the global elite along with Californian hoi polloi on a yearly basis in July. The camp is set within a 2,700 acre secluded forest replete with giant redwood trees.

Former attendees include Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, who both went on to become President, as well as regulars like Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, David Rockefeller, Colin Powell, as well as George W. Bush and his father.

In 2000 radio host and film maker Alex Jones infiltrated the gathering and caught exclusive video footage of a bizarre mock human sacrifice ritual, known as “the cremation of care”, under a 40 foot stone owl that the members refer to as Molech.

Attendees dress up like Klan members in hooded robes and perform druidic pagan ceremonies to mark the spectacular finale of the event.

In 2004, The New York Post reported that top gay porn star Chad Savage was hired by the Grove to “service” its members during the event and “attend to their every need”.

“When they’re not listening to policy speeches, “Bohos” are known to urinate freely in the redwoods and perform mock-druidic rituals that revolve around a 40-foot-tall stone owl. In one ritual, called “Cremation of Care,” members wearing red-hooded robes cremate a coffin effigy of “Dull Care” at the base of the owl altar,” the report stated.

Alex Jones discusses the shocking footage he obtained during his 2000 infiltration of the Grove.

Homosexual orgies are known to be part of the festivities enjoyed by the predominately “Christian conservative” leaders who go there. Former attendee
