“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” Matthew 7:15-17

If you are trying to make sense of the events that have transpired in the Middle East over the past 100 years or so, don’t feel alone.  What one needs to understand is that the old order of elites never went away. They just re-invented themselves by putting on a suit and tie and participating in conferences rather than religious ceremonies since the idea of kings and emperors ruling by divine right was no longer in vogue. Who is at the top of this chain? It is not a single individual, but a group of organizations primarily financed by the Rothschild cartel.  Some of these organizations include the Council on Foreign Relations, Federal Reserve and the Trilateral Commission. Aside from Rothschilds, John Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan have been the most influential individuals in institutionalizing statism in the United States. They laid the groundwork for the Federal Reserve, funded eugenics including lending support to the Communists and Nazis and have spread false gospels such as the Social Gospel i.e. the government will take care of the poor and oppressed via the National Council of Churches.

The United States government via its method of fractional reserve banking gives billion of dollars (perhaps as much as $15 billion) in any given year to “both sides”. The classic divide and conquer tactic. They are manipulating people’s emotions in the pursuit of absolute power for themselves.  Many people have been deceived by false prophets and their false gospels.  Yet most people don’t even see it.

So is there a solution? Yes.  But it requires the sheep to wake up and see what is going on first.  The American people need to stand up to “their” government.  The Israeli government claims they speak on behalf of all Jews.  They are liars.  We need more people like Rae Abileah. Hamas and Hezbollah deserve no support from Muslims.  In the ultimate struggle for liberty, it has always been man-made institutions against the unique individual created in His image.  Open your ears and eyes.  Then withdraw your support from all of these false leaders and fallen organizations.

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda

Did you notice all the talk last month about the evil Chinese and Koreans? Then it was the “evil” people of Somalia for the past few weeks?
Have you noticed the recent news about the “Pig Flu”? Basically for the next week or so, we are going to be indundated with stories about people getting pig flu, virus or whatever word you want to use.

It could be the Reichstag Fire. It could be the evil Jews on Monday and the evil Arabs on Friday. Next week, it could be you. So what is going on?

I’ve worked in television and newspapers, so I know first-hand how public information can be manipulated in order to produce a desired result or response. People who work in government are efficient in the sense they can rationalize their responses to a crisis and get the talking points out to the public. The talking points from the memo get repeated around the water cooler, from the talk shows, cook-outs, so on and so on.

This does not mean that every single reporter, newspaper editor or camera man is “in on it”. The media can be used for good purposes as well as bad purposes. It is just that many people in the position to call the shots these days as in the past are agenda driven, adhere to loyalty to political parties or are rather friendly with the people who run the power structure thus ensuring access for exclusive interviews, feeders on stories and invitations to awards dinners among other things.

Nothing gets run unless it has approval. Now it can be anything from football scores, a 5 year old girl winning a spelling bee, to this. The fact of the matter is that we are dealing with nothing more than constant repeating of the same story. Ever notice that all the major media outlooks say the same thing? That is a clue that you are being mislead or lied to. This is called Media Manipulation. Specifically, this is Distraction by phenomenon. Think “Wag The Dog”.

It is also important to keep in mind that it isn’t what they are telling you that is the problem as much as what they are NOT telling you. Hence, lying by omission. Ask yourself this: what other events were going on Saturday? I think it has something to do with the Federal Reserve.

What is going on is that various governments have been keeping core samples derived from lab experiments and at a pre-determined time, they would release it hence the timing of all this aka the anthrax scare. What is also happening is that all the reported cases of pig flu are in fact not pig flu at all, but nothing more than cases of common colds. Essentially a non-event. Keep in mind this is all happening less than a week after Hitler’s 120th birthday.

This “crisis” is all designed to create a crisis and further erode the economy or at least explain why corporate profits are down (other than the corporations own mismanagement), trampling of civil rights, inducing a mass panic, etc… The CDC, FEMA and other agencies in the alphabet soup will claim there is a crisis of “epic proportions” and then use their own manufactured crisis to justify more powers to do these things. Can you say internment camp? Look up H.R. 645 sponsored by Alcee Hastings of Florida.

This particular “crisis” is livestock-related, so expect more push for government oversight of farms. Big industrial farms will welcome this, because they have big lobbies to get exemptions just as Monsanto is welcoming the oversight of seeds and you guessed it, pigs. As in the “Pig Patent“. In 2005, Monsanto had filed two patents for processes which controlled the breeding and the herds of pigs. This resulted in Monsanto being under scrutiny for ownership rights over pigs and their offspring. Monsanto was planning to create improved designer animals for human consumption using special breeding techniques. Monsanto was able to control breeds with specific characteristics as per the patent, and disallowing other breeders and farmers from doing so. The patent, being broad, remained unclear about the ownership of the proceeds from the sale of the pigs by farmers. It did not mention the royalties involved when a food producer produces sausages (as an example) using those pigs which are bred using Monsanto’s process. This was a source of royalty for Monsanto. Monsanto wanted to cash in on the growing consumer demand for meat products globally and many activists question the ethics of Monsanto’s actions.

So live your life and don’t listen to the naysayers. Likewise, be diligent in protecting your rights and liberties.

“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi

One of the stories regarding Jesus that always struck me as miraculous (as it does most people) is the feeding of thousands of people.

The First Miracle, “The Feeding of the 5,000” (Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17 and John 6:5-15.⁾ is known as the miracle of the five loaves and two fish.

The second miracle, “The Feeding of the 4000” is reported by Mark 8:1-9 and Matthew 15:32-39 and is known as the miracle of the seven loaves and fishes.

Jesus said to his disciples:

“I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”

His disciples answered:

“Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

“Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was four thousand, besides women and children. After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.”

The spiritual interpretation of seven is that is God’s perfect plan.  Now we as modern people not having witnessed this event interpret it as being magical.  We also are under the impression that since Jesus is the son of God, of course he could just wave a magic wand and feed thousands of people whereas we have a hard time feeding ourselves.

But there is no mention of magic wands or motioning of the hands commanding fish to just appear onto the shore.  When I was a toddler, movies like Star Wars and Superman were in the theatres, The Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman were on TV. As I grew up in the church, my reference point for people in the Bible were literally the comic book characters and later on athletes.  Because I (and just about all of us) think of the Bible being akin to a comic book, we managed to convince ourselves at some point in our lives that “it can’t be done”.  But this perspective of Jesus and the other people mentioned was way off-base.  Jesus didn’t walk around with a magic wand or appear to be seven feet tall with super human strength.  IF this were the case, people would surely believe he was the messiah.  But this was an unbelieving generation.  In our times, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan and Peyton Manning would be what we expect in a messiah.  But Jesus was not this kind of messiah.

So how did Jesus feed thousands of people?  He had a skill: he knew how to fish and how to make bread.  He made a fishing net and started with two fish.  He had two loaves of bread and used these to demonstrate how bread was made.  Do you know how to make a fishing net or bread? Probably not! You just go to the grocery store.  Guess what? There weren’t grocery stores in those times.

Another problem in the time of Jesus was that when the harvest was plentiful, the people who arrived first tended to pick every fruit off the tree.  They would eat some of it, some of it goes bad and thus someone doesn’t eat at all.  The proper thing to do would be to only take what is needed and leave the rest for others to come pick.  Even today, this mentality persists.  Then there is the way food is made with all its additives, food coloring and processing. But you can do research on your own.

So now that you realize our problems can’t be solved via politics, learn to become self-sufficient and also learn to work with others.  You must get off your knees, stop worshiping idols and put your heart, mind, and spirit to use.  From there, results will flow outwards.

“NO PUBLIC OFFICIAL WHO CONSCIENTIOUSLY DISCHARGES HIS DUTY WILL DESIRE TO DENY THOSE WHOM HE SERVES THE RIGHT TO DISCUSS HIS OFFICIAL CONDUCT.” William Jennings Bryan, from New York World, 13 August, 1896

It is interesting that the history books either misrepresent the period between 1890-1940 in terms of its socio-economic context or ignore it completely.

Most of our problems on the national scene can be traced to the misdeeds during this period. We can’t hit our opponent if we don’t understand who or what our opponent is.

I’ve written extensively about many of the subtopics connected to this period such as The Federal Reserve’s connection to the The Great Depression, and outlined why it doesn’t matter which party is technically in power. Yes, the Federal Reserve even had a hand in the World Wars and the rise of dictators like Hitler and Stalin. While we are at it, let’s not forget the Rothschild’s connection to all this too.

One of the main opponents to the agenda of John Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan was William Jennings Bryan.  In our modern times, we think of Bryan as only being some sort of right-wing religious zealot (which couldn’t be further from the truth).

Keep in mind that many of the big city newspapers were owned by the same elite cartel that were advocating for an increased role for the Federal government in the daily affairs of the average American. Of course, they were going to commit libel against the most public opponent of the Progressive agenda. It wasn’t the residents of the big cities that Jennings was at odds with, but certain individuals and various special interest groups who just happened to choose the big cities as gathering places.

“I shall not slander the inhabitants of the fair state of Massachusetts nor the inhabitants of the state of New York by saying that, when they are confronted with the proposition, they will declare that this nation is not able to attend to its own business. It is the issue of 1776 over again. Our ancestors, when but three million in number, had the courage to declare their political independence of every other nation; shall we, their descendants, when we have grown to seventy millions, declare that we are less independent than our forefathers?”                                                                                                                             as quoted from the Democratic Convention in Harper’s Weekly, 18 July, 1896

It should be obvious the Rockefeller-Morgan connections throughout this whole Progressive Movement. What had happened was business had become increasingly competitive in the late 19^th-early 20^th century. Morgan and Rockefeller beginning with railroads and oil attempted to establish cartels. But the free-market spirit and public distrust of monopolies in addition to central banking fouled up these attempts. So they managed to hoodwink the masses using the same language of opposition to monopoly as a way to put over monopoly.

Even the Pure Food and Drug Act signed into law by Theodore Roosevelt (a Morgan crony) was done to put mom and pop food operations out of business and enable the further cartelization of the food industry. Do I really need to elaborate on the consequences of this?

The 1896 presidential election while rarely mentioned today was perhaps in its historical perspective the most important election in U.S. history.

One of Morgan’s protégés was Henry Cabot Lodge.  Lodge basically acted as a middle man for Morgan as backstage negotiations were being conducted with the Rockefeller political machine operating out of Ohio. The main contact for the Rockefeller camp was William McKinley’s campaign manager Mark Hanna.

The basic agreement was that Morgan would throw his support to William McKinley in exchange for certain concessions on establishing a central banking structure in the future.

This pooling of votes would neutralize the support that Bryan had amongst certain elements in the Democratic Party who were opposed to central banking, Silver Republicans and various populist elements in the South and Rocky Mountain states.

The Rockfeller and Morgan camps would often be at odds not so much on the overall goal of implementing statism on the free market, but mostly such differences were simply disputes in the overall jockeying of power; basically a clash of egos and wills.  But certainly when it came to the establishment of a central bank, they were literally walking arm in arm.

Shortly after the 1896 election, the Indianapolis Monetary Commission convened for the purpose of discussing and issuing a report on “currency reform”.

This meeting was publicized as business people getting together for a convention. But it was in fact individuals from the Morgan and Rockefeller camps meeting for the purpose of laying the groundwork for a central bank. They met in Indianapolis so as to create the impression that surely nothing bad would ever come out of America’s Heartland as opposed to the image that the public had of evil bankers meeting in New York City or Washington, D.C.

The go-to-man in Congress for both Morgan and Rockefeller was senator Nelson Aldrich.  While Aldrich may have been the congressional connection, the process that it took to implement both the Federal Reserve Act and the 16^th Amendment was to say the least complex.

Which brings us to our current times. Needless to say, while the specific individuals have since long passed away (and are in hell), their work continues today through the system they left behind and gets ever larger.

So do you know who your enemy is?

For some of you, this comes as no surprise. Do you remember all that talk last winter about the shoe bomber and Michael Chertoff making the rounds on the networks?

Of course, the mainstream media won’t tell you this, but Michael Chertoff is one of the major investors and Congressional lobbyist for OSI Systems which owns Rapiscan Systems. This is the manufacturer of the airport scanners. Chertoff made a heavy investment in them after leaving the White House last year and signed on to become their lobbyist. It all comes down to the handshakes and back pats.

The CEO is Deepak Chopra. He is not the same Deepak Chopra, the writer on Ayurveda, spirituality and ying-yang.  I first read about this particular Chopra around five years ago. Deepak Chopra was also born in India in 1951. His background is in semiconductors and lighting products. He graduated from Punjab Engineering College in Chandigarh, Punjab, India and has a M.S. in Semiconductor Electronics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. From 1976 to 1987, he was at ILC Technology, Inc. He has also been with Intel Corporation, TRW Semiconductors and RCA Semiconductors in one shape or form. He has been with OSI Systems as CEO and Chairman of the Board since 1987.

You can contact OSI Systems at OSI Systems, Inc. 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, CA 90250 Phone: 310-978-0516 Fax: 310-644-7213

The Sidley Austin law firm that is connected to Obama represents OSI Systems in court matters.  Chopra is also traveling with Obama as he goes through India and makes other trips through the Pacific. Why?

Any global monetary system has to have India on board since it is the best positioned of any country to weather serious global currency problems. India is a thorn in the side of China and Pakistan. The rheortic of war between China and India has heated up and India and Pakistan have been at odds for over 60 years. The elites in those countries have played international affairs very well to set this up.

But don’t take it too personally. When global security (and war) is big business, there are always going to be vultures. So I guess we better let all our friends and neighbors know about this too since they won’t get it from their usual sources of information.

“It does not take a majority to prevail … but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” Samuel Adams

Have you given some thought to running for public office? What issues do you seek to address? Are you interested in being a public servant or do you seek politics as a career? What will you be up against?

“Steady, hearty allegiance to the policy of the government they (bureaucrats) serve will constitute good behavior. That policy will have no taint of officialism about it. It will not be the creation of permanent officials, but of statesmen whose responsibility to public opinion will be direct and inevitable. Bureaucracy can exist only where the whole service of the state is removed from the common political life of the people, its chiefs as well as its rank and file. Its motives, its objects, its policy, its standards, must be bureaucratic. It would be difficult to point out any examples of impudent exclusiveness and arbitrariness on the part of officials doing service under a chief of department who really served the people, as all our chiefs of departments must be made to do. It would be easy, on the other hand, to adduce other instances like that of the influence of Stein in Prussia, where the leadership of one statesman imbued with true public spirit transformed arrogant and perfunctory bureaux into public-spirited instruments of just government.”
Woodrow Wilson, “The Study of Administration”, Political Science Quarterly. pp. 197–222, November 1, 1886

So now that you know what you are going up against is an entrenched bureaucracy that has been in place for a long time, what is an individual to do?

If you’re motivated to make (real) changes, and to work with others who feel the way you do, then that is a start. If you haven’t already, free your mind, heart and spirit. Everything you do flows from these factors. Educate yourself on the issues. Have a principled approach to liberty and justice. Government already attracts enough unprincipled power hungry people as it is. Finally realize, that overall, government is almost never the answer to our problems. But try telling that to 99% of the people and they will think you are crazy.

If you are giving a serious consideration to running for public office, organization is the first step. You don’t need experience in organizing to take action now. You have to start somewhere. You already know that the majority will not automatically “get it” when it comes to liberty especially not in a society that is accessorized, customized and deodorized one like the United States.

Depending on what level of office you are running for, you will want to take into consideration several factors. One factor is how well known are you and how much money do you have or can you raise? I don’t mean that you need to be a celebrity. I do mean that no one is going to support or vote for someone they don’t know anything about. Are you one who has been involved in the community such as helping the poor, do you own a business or do you attend school board meetings? You will have to get comfortable in dealing with the public and to realize people will have questions to ask (hopefully it won’t be of the private kind). An attractive resume to put on your campaign literature will be helpful.

Get familiar with the inner workings of the city council, county commission or whatever level you are considering running for. Attend meetings and become familiar with who is already there. Alliances are critical in running for public office as well as being in public office.

After you find one or two potential public offices to run for, you will want to spend some time at the local election commission. Be familiar with the procedures for petitions, campaign finance, election laws, etc… Of course, if you are running as an independent, expect to encounter more roadblocks than if you were running as a democrat or republican. The system is set up to benefit those who already run the system.

After you get enough signatures for your petition (rule of thumb is to aim for around 4x the number of required signatures), start holding events.  Events can be a neighborhood planning meeting, a media interview, or a potluck, to name a few examples.  You might as well start with people you know so that you can become comfortable with speaking in public, being asked questions and putting yourself out there.

You will likely need to name a treasurer. A friend is okay if they are ethical and know how to manage campaign funds. You may want to ask other people who are in public office (not the one you are thinking about running for) on suggestions on what to look for in a treasurer. Be familiar with campaign finance laws relevant to the office you are seeking.

A candidate can’t do everything. Not even the millionaires/billionaires (of whom the majority in the U.S. Congress happen to be) can do everything. Unless you are loaded with money or are famous, you probably won’t be able to hire a professional campaign staff like those big wigs do.

What you would want is a campaign manager ideally one who has experience, is passionate about this role and is a superb organizer. The CM should know about the area of the office you are seeking, how to organize precincts, wards, neighborhoods and can coordinate volunteers to work these areas on a given day. This person would know how to set up media interviews, work with a printing or graphic design company to produce literature, signs, website, etc… I would suggest setting aside a fund that can be used to pay volunteers a token amount for travel, donuts, something to show your appreciation for their time and effort.

After you have laid the groundwork, you will want to get out there and knock on doors yourself. You should set aside just about every Saturday for neighborhood canvassing. You should also train your volunteers on decorum, language, how to address people when they answer the door, etc…

Eventually things should fall into place as momentum builds and more people know your name. Even after you put everything into it, will you win? You have no control over who counts the votes and I am not aware of any fraud proof system that could keep the voting honest. Ultimately, people will make their decisions. The main thing is to realize the campaign isn’t about you, but the ideas you are representing and ideas are bulletproof.

(Originally published October, 2008)

I’ve long been interested in court cases especially as it relates to matters of constitutional law. Specific cases would include the 2nd Amendment and how ironic that assailants of the 2nd Amendment say it is okay to trample on it (as well as the whole document itself) by claiming that the police will protect you and thus you don’t need a firearm for self-defense. Guess what? They are lying!

This past Wednesday, an employee at the Knoxville Center Mall was shot to death. Now yes, police officers were on the scene within four minutes, but the damage was already done. The police don’t prevent crimes. They only show up after the fact if they do at all. “If they do at all?” you ask. Yes. If they do at all. The police are not legally obligated to respond to any calls. So, you would not have legal case against them. There is plenty of case law that proves this to be true, two cases in particular. It call comes down to the general duty of the government (as if) and special relationships between particular parties.

“Here the effort to separate the hostile assailants from the victims — a necessary part of the on-scene responsibility of the police — adds nothing to the general duty owed the public and fails to create a relationship which imposes a special legal duty such as that created when there is a course of conduct, special knowledge of possible harm, or the actual use of individuals in the investigation.”

The D.C. Court of Appeals went on to say that it is a `fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.”
Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981).

The law in New York remains as decided by the Court of Appeals case Riss v. New York: the government is not liable even for a grossly negligent failure to protect a crime victim. In the Riss case, a young woman telephoned the police and begged for help because her ex-boyfriend had repeatedly threatened “If I can’t have you, not one else will have you, and when I get through with you, no one else will want you.” The day after she had pleaded for police protection, the ex-boyfriend threw lye in her face, blinding her in one eye, severely damaging the other, and permanently scarring her features. “What makes the City’s position particularly difficult to understand”, wrote a dissenting opinion, “is that, in conformity to the dictates of the law, Linda did not carry any weapon for self-defense. Thus by a rather bitter irony she was required to rely for protection on the City of New York which now denies all responsibility to her.”
Riss v. New York, 22 N.Y.2d 579, 293 N.Y.S.2d 897, 240 N.E.2d 860 (1968)

In other words this means the only people the police are duty-bound to protect are criminals in custody, and other persons in custody for such things as mental illness. YOU have no recourse if the police fail to respond or fail to protect you from injury! Self-defense is your own responsibility.

November 09, 2003
By Edwin Black

Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a so-called Master Race.

But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race didn’t originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little-known, role in the American eugenics movement’s campaign for ethnic cleansing.

Eugenics was the pseudoscience aimed at “improving” the human race. In its extreme, racist form, this meant wiping away all human beings deemed “unfit,” preserving only those who conformed to a Nordic stereotype. Elements of the philosophy were enshrined as national policy by forced sterilization and segregation laws, as well as marriage restrictions, enacted in 27 states. In 1909, California became the third state to adopt such laws. Ultimately, eugenics practitioners coercively sterilized some 60,000 Americans, barred the marriage of thousands, forcibly segregated thousands in “colonies,” and persecuted untold numbers in ways we are just learning. Before World War II, nearly half of coercive sterilizations were done in California, and even after the war, the state accounted for a third of all such surgeries.

California was considered an epicenter of the American eugenics movement. During the 20th century’s first decades, California’s eugenicists included potent but little-known race scientists, such as Army venereal disease specialist Dr. Paul Popenoe, citrus magnate Paul Gosney, Sacramento banker Charles Goethe, as well as members of the California state Board of Charities and Corrections and the University of California Board of Regents.

Eugenics would have been so much bizarre parlor talk had it not been for extensive financing by corporate philanthropies, specifically the Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Harriman railroad fortune. They were all in league with some of America’s most respected scientists from such prestigious universities as Stanford, Yale, Harvard and Princeton. These academicians espoused race theory and race science, and then faked and twisted data to serve eugenics’ racist aims.

Stanford President David Starr Jordan originated the notion of “race and blood” in his 1902 racial epistle “Blood of a Nation,” in which the university scholar declared that human qualities and conditions such as talent and poverty were passed through the blood.

In 1904, the Carnegie Institution established a laboratory complex at Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island that stockpiled millions of index cards on ordinary Americans, as researchers carefully plotted the removal of families, bloodlines and whole peoples. From Cold Spring Harbor, eugenics advocates agitated in the legislatures of America, as well as the nation’s social service agencies and associations.

The Harriman railroad fortune paid local charities, such as the New York Bureau of Industries and Immigration, to seek out Jewish, Italian and other immigrants in New York and other crowded cities and subject them to deportation, confinement or forced sterilization.

The Rockefeller Foundation helped found the German eugenics program and even funded the program that Josef Mengele worked in before he went to Auschwitz.

Much of the spiritual guidance and political agitation for the American eugenics movement came from California’s quasi-autonomous eugenic societies, such as Pasadena’s Human Betterment Foundation and the California branch of the American Eugenics Society, which coordinated much of their activity with the Eugenics Research Society in Long Island. These organizations — which functioned as part of a closely-knit network — published racist eugenic newsletters and pseudoscientific journals, such as Eugenical News and Eugenics, and propagandized for the Nazis.

Eugenics was born as a scientific curiosity in the Victorian age. In 1863, Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, theorized that if talented people married only other talented people, the result would be measurably better offspring. At the turn of the last century, Galton’s ideas were imported to the United States just as Gregor Mendel’s principles of heredity were rediscovered. American eugenics advocates believed with religious fervor that the same Mendelian concepts determining the color and size of peas, corn and cattle also governed the social and intellectual character of man.

In a United States demographically reeling from immigration upheaval and torn by post-Reconstruction chaos, race conflict was everywhere in the early 20th century. Elitists, utopians and so-called progressives fused their smoldering race fears and class bias with their desire to make a better world. They reinvented Galton’s eugenics into a repressive and racist ideology. The intent: Populate the Earth with vastly more of their own socioeconomic and biological kind — and less or none of everyone else.

The superior species the eugenics movement sought was populated not merely by tall, strong, talented people. Eugenicists craved blond, blue-eyed Nordic types. This group alone, they believed, was fit to inherit the Earth. In the process, the movement intended to subtract emancipated Negroes, immigrant Asian laborers, Indians, Hispanics, East Europeans, Jews, dark- haired hill folk, poor people, the infirm and anyone classified outside the gentrified genetic lines drawn up by American raceologists.

How? By identifying so-called defective family trees and subjecting them to lifelong segregation and sterilization programs to kill their bloodlines. The grand plan was to literally wipe away the reproductive capability of those deemed weak and inferior — the so-called unfit. The eugenicists hoped to neutralize the viability of 10 percent of the population at a sweep, until none were left except themselves.

Eighteen solutions were explored in a Carnegie-supported 1911 “Preliminary Report of the Committee of the Eugenic Section of the American Breeder’s Association to Study and to Report on the Best Practical Means for Cutting Off the Defective Germ-Plasm in the Human Population.” Point No. 8 was euthanasia.

The most commonly suggested method of eugenicide in the United States was a “lethal chamber” or public, locally operated gas chambers. In 1918, Popenoe, the Army venereal disease specialist during World War I, co-wrote the widely used textbook, “Applied Eugenics,” which argued, “From an historical point of view, the first method which presents itself is execution . . . Its value in keeping up the standard of the race should not be underestimated.” “Applied Eugenics” also devoted a chapter to “Lethal Selection,” which operated “through the destruction of the individual by some adverse feature of the environment, such as excessive cold, or bacteria, or by bodily deficiency.”

Eugenic breeders believed American society was not ready to implement an organized lethal solution. But many mental institutions and doctors practiced improvised medical lethality and passive euthanasia on their own. One institution in Lincoln, Ill., fed its incoming patients milk from tubercular cows believing a eugenically strong individual would be immune. Thirty to 40 percent annual death rates resulted at Lincoln. Some doctors practiced passive eugenicide one newborn infant at a time. Others doctors at mental institutions engaged in lethal neglect.

Nonetheless, with eugenicide marginalized, the main solution for eugenicists was the rapid expansion of forced segregation and sterilization, as well as more marriage restrictions. California led the nation, performing nearly all sterilization procedures with little or no due process. In its first 25 years of eugenics legislation, California sterilized 9,782 individuals, mostly women. Many were classified as “bad girls,” diagnosed as “passionate,” “oversexed” or “sexually wayward.” At the Sonoma State Home, some women were sterilized because of what was deemed an abnormally large clitoris or labia.

In 1933 alone, at least 1,278 coercive sterilizations were performed, 700 on women. The state’s two leading sterilization mills in 1933 were Sonoma State Home with 388 operations and Patton State Hospital with 363 operations. Other sterilization centers included Agnews, Mendocino, Napa, Norwalk, Stockton and Pacific Colony state hospitals.

Even the U.S. Supreme Court endorsed aspects of eugenics. In its infamous 1927 decision, Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, “It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind . . . Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” This decision opened the floodgates for thousands to be coercively sterilized or otherwise persecuted as subhuman. Years later, the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials quoted Holmes’ words in their own defense.

Only after eugenics became entrenched in the United States was the campaign transplanted into Germany, in no small measure through the efforts of California eugenicists, who published booklets idealizing sterilization and circulated them to German officials and scientists.

Hitler studied American eugenics laws. He tried to legitimize his anti- Semitism by medicalizing it, and wrapping it in the more palatable pseudoscientific facade of eugenics. Hitler was able to recruit more followers among reasonable Germans by claiming that science was on his side. Hitler’s race hatred sprung from his own mind, but the intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were made in America.

During the ’20s, Carnegie Institution eugenic scientists cultivated deep personal and professional relationships with Germany’s fascist eugenicists. In “Mein Kampf,” published in 1924, Hitler quoted American eugenic ideology and openly displayed a thorough knowledge of American eugenics. “There is today one state,” wrote Hitler, “in which at least weak beginnings toward a better conception (of immigration) are noticeable. Of course, it is not our model German Republic, but the United States.”

Hitler proudly told his comrades just how closely he followed the progress of the American eugenics movement. “I have studied with great interest,” he told a fellow Nazi, “the laws of several American states concerning prevention of reproduction by people whose progeny would, in all probability, be of no value or be injurious to the racial stock.”

Hitler even wrote a fan letter to American eugenics leader Madison Grant, calling his race-based eugenics book, “The Passing of the Great Race,” his “bible.”

Now, the American term “Nordic” was freely exchanged with “Germanic” or “Aryan.” Race science, racial purity and racial dominance became the driving force behind Hitler’s Nazism. Nazi eugenics would ultimately dictate who would be persecuted in a Reich-dominated Europe, how people would live, and how they would die. Nazi doctors would become the unseen generals in Hitler’s war against the Jews and other Europeans deemed inferior. Doctors would create the science, devise the eugenic formulas, and hand-select the victims for sterilization, euthanasia and mass extermination.

During the Reich’s early years, eugenicists across America welcomed Hitler’s plans as the logical fulfillment of their own decades of research and effort. California eugenicists republished Nazi propaganda for American consumption. They also arranged for Nazi scientific exhibits, such as an August 1934 display at the L.A. County Museum, for the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association.

In 1934, as Germany’s sterilizations were accelerating beyond 5,000 per month, the California eugenics leader C. M. Goethe, upon returning from Germany, ebulliently bragged to a colleague, “You will be interested to know that your work has played a powerful part in shaping the opinions of the group of intellectuals who are behind Hitler in this epoch-making program. Everywhere I sensed that their opinions have been tremendously stimulated by American thought . . . I want you, my dear friend, to carry this thought with you for the rest of your life, that you have really jolted into action a great government of 60 million people.”

That same year, 10 years after Virginia passed its sterilization act, Joseph DeJarnette, superintendent of Virginia’s Western State Hospital, observed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, “The Germans are beating us at our own game.”

More than just providing the scientific roadmap, America funded Germany’s eugenic institutions.

By 1926, Rockefeller had donated some $410,000 — almost $4 million in today’s money — to hundreds of German researchers. In May 1926, Rockefeller awarded $250,000 toward creation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry. Among the leading psychiatrists at the German Psychiatric Institute was Ernst Rüdin, who became director and eventually an architect of Hitler’s systematic medical repression.

Another in the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute’s complex of eugenics institutions was the Institute for Brain Research. Since 1915, it had operated out of a single room. Everything changed when Rockefeller money arrived in 1929. A grant of $317,000 allowed the institute to construct a major building and take center stage in German race biology. The institute received additional grants from the Rockefeller Foundation during the next several years. Leading the institute, once again, was Hitler’s medical henchman Ernst Rüdin. Rüdin’s organization became a prime director and recipient of the murderous experimentation and research conducted on Jews, Gypsies and others.

Beginning in 1940, thousands of Germans taken from old age homes, mental institutions and other custodial facilities were systematically gassed. Between 50,000 and 100,000 were eventually killed.

Leon Whitney, executive secretary of the American Eugenics Society, declared of Nazism, “While we were pussy-footing around … the Germans were calling a spade a spade.”

A special recipient of Rockefeller funding was the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics in Berlin. For decades,

American eugenicists had craved twins to advance their research into heredity.

The Institute was now prepared to undertake such research on an unprecedented level. On May 13, 1932, the Rockefeller Foundation in New York dispatched a radiogram to its Paris office: JUNE MEETING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NINE THOUSAND
DOLLARS OVER THREE YEAR PERIOD TO KWG INSTITUTE ANTHROPOLOGY FOR RESEARCH ON
TWINS AND EFFECTS ON LATER GENERATIONS OF SUBSTANCES TOXIC FOR GERM PLASM.

At the time of Rockefeller’s endowment, Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer, a hero in American eugenics circles, functioned as a head of the Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics. Rockefeller funding of that institute continued both directly and through other research conduits during Verschuer’s early tenure. In 1935, Verschuer left the institute to form a rival eugenics facility in Frankfurt that was much heralded in the American eugenics press. Research on twins in the Third Reich exploded, backed by government decrees. Verschuer wrote in Der Erbarzt, a eugenics doctor’s journal he edited, that Germany’s war would yield a “total solution to the Jewish problem.”

Verschuer had a longtime assistant. His name was Josef Mengele.

On May 30, 1943, Mengele arrived at Auschwitz. Verschuer notified the German Research Society, “My assistant, Dr. Josef Mengele (M.D., Ph.D.) joined me in this branch of research. He is presently employed as Hauptsturmführer (captain) and camp physician in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Anthropological testing of the most diverse racial groups in this concentration camp is being carried out with permission of the SS Reichsführer (Himmler).”

Mengele began searching the boxcar arrivals for twins. When he found them,

he performed beastly experiments, scrupulously wrote up the reports and sent the paperwork back to Verschuer’s institute for evaluation. Often, cadavers, eyes and other body parts were also dispatched to Berlin’s eugenic institutes.

Rockefeller executives never knew of Mengele. With few exceptions, the foundation had ceased all eugenics studies in Nazi-occupied Europe before the war erupted in 1939. But by that time the die had been cast. The talented men Rockefeller and Carnegie financed, the great institutions they helped found, and the science they helped create took on a scientific momentum of their own.

After the war, eugenics was declared a crime against humanity — an act of genocide. Germans were tried and they cited the California statutes in their defense — to no avail. They were found guilty.

However, Mengele’s boss Verschuer escaped prosecution. Verschuer re- established his connections with California eugenicists who had gone underground and renamed their crusade “human genetics.” Typical was an exchange July 25, 1946, when Popenoe wrote Verschuer, “It was indeed a pleasure to hear from you again. I have been very anxious about my colleagues in Germany . . . I suppose sterilization has been discontinued in Germany?” Popenoe offered tidbits about various American eugenics luminaries and then sent various eugenics publications. In a separate package, Popenoe sent some cocoa, coffee and other goodies.

Verschuer wrote back, “Your very friendly letter of 7/25 gave me a great deal of pleasure and you have my heartfelt thanks for it. The letter builds another bridge between your and my scientific work; I hope that this bridge will never again collapse but rather make possible valuable mutual enrichment and stimulation.”

Soon, Verschuer again became a respected scientist in Germany and around the world. In 1949, he became a corresponding member of the newly formed American Society of Human Genetics, organized by American eugenicists and geneticists.

In the fall of 1950, the University of Münster offered Verschuer a position at its new Institute of Human Genetics, where he later became a dean. In the early and mid-1950s, Verschuer became an honorary member of numerous prestigious societies, including the Italian Society of Genetics, the Anthropological Society of Vienna, and the Japanese Society for Human Genetics.

Human genetics’ genocidal roots in eugenics were ignored by a victorious generation that refused to link itself to the crimes of Nazism and by succeeding generations that never knew the truth of the years leading up to war. Now governors of five states, including California, have issued public apologies to their citizens, past and present, for sterilization and other abuses spawned by the eugenics movement.

Human genetics became an enlightened endeavor in the late 20th century. Hard-working, devoted scientists finally cracked the human code through the Human Genome Project. Now, every individual can be biologically identified and classified by trait and ancestry. Yet even now, some leading voices in the genetic world are calling for a cleansing of the unwanted among us, and even a master human species.

There is understandable wariness about more ordinary forms of abuse, for example, in denying insurance or employment based on genetic tests. On Oct. 14, the United States’ first genetic anti-discrimination legislation passed the Senate by unanimous vote. Yet because genetics research is global, no single nation’s law can stop the threats.

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

Do you believe there is a global conspiracy amongst the Jews to take over the world? Do you think every Muslim is “in on it”? Do you think Christian missionaries are going all over the world converting non-Christians because of dictates from the governments of the nations that the Christians (whether they are truly changed in Christ is another matter) come from?

The simple fact is that there have always been those individuals who have been interested in conquering lands, establishing trade relations, military alliances going back thousands of years.  In ancient times, religion was a useful tool to organize society and ensure uninterrupted harmony amongst the masses. All of life was centered around the emperor, king or queen who falsely claimed to be God’s emissary on Earth.  The main motives for inciting a war were mostly for power, to distract the people from internal corruption and scandal and to generally enrich oneself and their friends while claiming it was being done to protect the nation’s interest. Among the Romans, war was a method to keep internal dissension to a minimum and to distract the masses under the banner of patriotism and victory.  All over Europe for thousands of years, the people were enslaved under the guise of liberating or protecting them.

In modern times, the motives for war are the same.  Only in this case, it is a business-government partnership or what we would call fascism which is combined with the tenets of communism.

In a lot of ways, politics is similar to theatre, movie making, carnivals and what not. One movie that never gets old for me is Network. It is art imitating life.

Now let’s take for instance when a presidential candidate or the president visits your city. Do you think they just arbitrarily decided to visit just to take in the sights? Presidents and politicians in general are figureheads. The Chief of Staff tells them where to go, advisors tell them what to think, speechwriters tell them what to say, and consultants tell them what to wear. While the press release may be sent out a few days before the visit, the planning occurred several weeks before. The Secret Service and travel office are sent ahead to scout the location and plan the routes, line the supporters up, and so and so on.

A few people make the decisions and the rest follow. It is true whether you are in a family, school, work, government, etc… While it may not be a big deal for you to get up and back on the field at 7 a.m. because the head football coach said that was when practice was going to begin, where does one draw the line? Where does one start to take personal responsibility in matters of what you buy, whom you buy from, health, your relationship with God or the Gods, etc…? Do you make decisions based on fitting into your society? Self-preservation? Comfort? Or do you make decisions at least based in part on principle? Doing the right thing? Answering to one master?

In a nutshell, if you believe there is a Christian, Jewish or Muslim conspiracy to take over the world, you might want to turn off the TV. If every single Christian, Jew or Muslim wanted to take over the world, that would have been done so centuries ago.  Starting wars for conquest or “civilizing” them as the propaganda claims takes influence and influence requires money and being in high places. Hardly the kind of thing that a person who lives a hand to mouth existence is going to be able to pull off.

What we are dealing with are a few thousand individuals who belong to organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission. Bullets will come in handy when putting one in the back of their heads or defending off their henchmen or the masses who just blindly go along with it. But no folks!  There is no Christian, Jewish or Muslim conspiracy to take over the world. We are in fact dealing with an oligarchy that has been in place for several centuries and this oligarchy seeks to maintain the old world of the elites albeit behind the scenes.
