Final Warning: A History of the New World Order

[Steve Gardner]

The Founding of the "Bilderberg Group"

Dr. Joseph H. Retinger (economist, political philosopher, communist Poland's Charge d'Affaires, and a major proponent of a united Europe) along with Prince Bernhard (of Lippe-Biesterfeld) of the Netherlands, Colin Gubbins (former director of the British Special Operations Executive), and Gen. Walter Bedell Smith (former U.S. Ambassador to Moscow and director of the CIA, who later became an Under Secretary of State in the Eisenhower Administration), joined together in 1954 to organize this secretive policy group. Their first meeting was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg (hence the name of the group, even though they have referred to themselves as 'The Alliance') in Oosterbeek, Holland, from May 29-31, in 1954.

(Smith said when he took over the CIA: "We can't lick world communism; no counterinsurgency plans will work. We must compromise and co-exist with communism.")

Created under the direction of Alastair Buchan (son of Lord Tweedsmuir, and Chairman of the Royal Institute of International Affairs), its governing council was made up of:

Robert Ellsworth (of Lazard Freres)
John Loudon (of N.M. Rothschild)
Paul Nitze(of Shroeder Bank)
C.L. Sulzberger (of the New York Times)
Stansfield Turner (who later became CIA Director)
Peter Calvocoressi (of Penguin Books)
Andrew Schoenberg (of the RIIA)
Daniel Ellsburg
Henry Kissinger

Lord [Victor] Rothschild and Laurance Rockefeller handpicked 100 of the world's elite. Their purpose was to regionalize Europe, according to Giovanni Agnelli the head of Fiat [in Italy], who said: "European integration is our goal and where the politicians have failed, we industrialists hope to succeed." In Alden Hatch's biography of Bernhard, he stated that the Bilderberg Group gave birth to the European Community (now the European Union). Their ultimate goal is to have a one-world government.

Charles Douglas Jackson (Vice President of Time magazine, delegate to the United Nations, Special Assistant to the President, and later publisher of Life magazine), spokesman for the American delegation led by David Rockefeller, promised those present: "Whether he [Sen. Joseph McCarthy] dies by an assassin's bullet, or is eliminated in the normal American way of getting rid of boils on the body politic, I prophecy that by the time we hold our next meeting, he will be gone from the American scene." McCarthy was the crusading Senator who revealed that Communists had infiltrated high level posts within the U.S. Government; he [died in] 1957.

Meetings of the Bilderberg Group

The Bilderberg Group holds annual meetings in locations all over the world. In Europe, the Rothschilds have hosted some of the meetings, while the meetings in 1962 and 1973, in Saltsjobaden, Sweden, were hosted by the Wallenbergs (who had an estimated fortune of $10 billion). [Members of the group] have a heavy cross-membership with the Council on Foreign Relations (which they control), the English Speaking Union, the Pilgrim Society, the Round Table, and the Trilateral Commission.

The meetings were [originally] chaired by the German-born Prince Bernhard, the husband of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, said to be the richest woman in the world (because of her partnership with Baron Victor Rothschild in the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Co., owning 5% of the stock, which in 1978 was worth $425 million; and also holds stock in Exxon), until he was forced to resign in August, 1976 because of his involvement in the Lockheed Aircraft bribery scandal, and his extramarital affairs. Bernhard wrote:

"Here comes our greatest difficulty. For the governments of the free nations are elected by the people, and if they do something the people don't like they are thrown out. It is difficult to reeducate the people who have been brought up on nationalism to the idea of relinquishing part of their sovereignty to a supernational body..."

Walter Scheel of Germany took over as Chairman, and then it was Britain's Lord Carrington, who is on the Board of the Hambros Bank.

Bilderberg policy is carried out by a 35 member Bilderberg Steering Committee, including an inner circle known as an Advisory Committee, which is said to be made up of Giovanni Agnelli (Italy), David Rockefeller (U.S.), Eric Roll (Great Britain), and Otto Wolff von Amerongen (Germany). Some of the Steering Committee members [have been]:

Henry Kissinger
Jessica T. Mathews (President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)
James D. Wolfensohn (President, World Bank)
Marie-Josee Kravis (Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute)
Jorma Ollila (Chairman of the Board and CEO of Nokia Corp.)

All American members of the Steering Committee are members of the CFR.

A few of the Bilderberg permanent U.S. members are: George W. Ball, Gabriel Hauge, Richard C. Holbrooke, Winston Lord, Bill Moyers, and Paul Wolfowitz.

The permanent Bilderberg Secretariat is located at: 1 Smidswater, the Hague, the Netherlands (though another address is sometimes reported at 2301 Da Leiden, in the Netherlands) Their address in America was at 345 E. 46th Street, in New York City (which was also the location of the Trilateral Commission and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace). The American Friends of Bilderbergs, with offices at 477 Madison Avenue (6th floor) in New York City, is an IRS-approved charitable organization that received regular contributions from the likes of Exxon, Arco, and IBM; while their meetings are funded by the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and the Carnegie Endowment fund.

There are about 120 participants that are invited to the Bilderberg meetings, of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the rest are from North America; and about one-third are from government and politics, and the other two-thirds are from the fields of finance, industry, labor, education, communications. The meetings are closed to the public and the press, although a brief press conference is usually held at the conclusion of each meeting, to reveal in general terms some of the topics which were discussed. The resort areas and hotels where they meet are cleared of residents and visitors, and surrounded by soldiers, armed guards, the Secret Service, State and local police. All conference and meeting rooms are scanned for bugging devices before every single meeting.

Bilderberg Group Influence on Public Policy

The "Goals 2000" program, developed during the presidency of George H.W. Bush to revamp the nation's public school system, was born at the April, 1970, Bilderberger meeting in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. The purpose of the new educational philosophy was the "subordination of national ambitions to the idea of the international community." Because our schools are "too nationalistic," children, in the future, will be indoctrinated to consider themselves "world citizens."

Prior to the 1971 meeting in Woodstock, Virginia, Prince Bernhard said that the subject of the meeting was the "change in the world role of the United States." After the weekend conference, Kissinger was sent to Red China to open up trade relations, and an international monetary crisis developed, which prompted the devaluing of the dollar by 8.57% (which made a tremendous profit for those who converted to the European Currency).

In 1976, fifteen representatives from the Soviet Union attended the meeting which was held in the Arizona desert, and it was believed that at that time the plans were formulated for the "break-up of communism in the Soviet Union."

At the 1978 meeting, they predicted that a depression would hit the world in 1979, and that the dollar would die. Their solution was to replace the dollar with an international 'Bancor' system (international bank note) of currency that would be universally acceptable as a medium of exchange. The 'Bancor' system would have the international gold reserve deposited in a neutral country. It is an offshoot of the same Keynesian system developed at Bretton Woods in 1944 from the idea by German economist Julius Wolf in 1892. This system would protect the Illuminati when they spring their trap, and the world economy would crumble.

At their 1990 meeting at Glen Cove, Long Island in New York, they decided that taxes had to be raised to pay more towards the debt owed to the International Bankers. And George Bush, who pledged during the campaign, "Read my lips -- No new taxes!" found himself signing one of the biggest tax increases in history on November 15, 1990, a move which was a contributing factor to his defeat when he ran for re-election.

At their 1991 meeting at the Black Forest resort in Baden Baden, Germany, they discussed plans for a common European currency and European central banking; and reviewed Middle Eastern events and developments in the Soviet Union. David Rockefeller said during the meeting:

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years ... It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

Then Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton (a Rhodes Scholar, who attended Oxford University in England), was invited to speak and a decision was made to endorse his candidacy (according to Jim Tucker, a Spotlight reporter, who had a source within the group). No wonder Clinton was able to survive all the media attacks regarding his personal life and lack of experience. One of his top money men was investor and international banker Jackson Stephens, who also donated $100,000 to the Bush campaign. His wife was the Co-Chairwoman of the national "Bush for President" organization in 1988.

Also in attendance were Michael Boskin, Chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, who was a speaker; Nicholas Brady, U.S. Treasury Secretary; and Vice President Dan Quayle, who impressed the group enough that there was talk of supporting him for the Republican nomination in 1996. In fact, after the meeting, Bilderberg member Katherine Graham, head of the Washington Post, published a series of positive articles on Quayle.

At their 1992 meeting, the group discussed the possibility of "conditioning the public to accept the idea of a U.N. army that could, by force, impose its will on the internal affairs of any nation." Henry Kissinger, who attended the meeting, said:

"Today, Americans would be outraged if U.N. forces entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful."

The official press release for their 2002 Conference said: "Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued." They are just "...a small flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced." However, Phyllis Schlafly wrote in A Choice Not An Echo that the Bilderbergers are a "little clique of powerful men who meet secretly and plan events that appear to 'just happen'."

OPEC and the "Seven Sisters"

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) includes: Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The group was created on September 14, 1960, for the purpose of setting oil prices by controlling oil production. They were originally thought to be primarily Arabian in ownership, however, it is actually an international group which includes Americans [and Europeans].

The cartel was established from an agreement signed on September 17, 1920, by Royal Dutch Shell, Anglo-Iranian, and Standard Oil, for the purpose of fixing oil prices. By 1949, the cartel was made up of Anglo-Iranian, Socony-Vacuum, Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf, Esso, Texaco, and Calso. In the early 1950's, revelations surfaced that the oil companies would pump the oil from the Middle East, then split the profits with the government of the country where the oil was produced. OPEC was formed to make people believe that the Arabian oil reserves were not owned by these non-Arabian oil companies.

These non-Arabian oil companies were informally called "The Seven Sisters". They control what is shipped to the United States and how much is refined into gas and heating oil. Originally [the group included:]

Exxon (was Standard Oil of New Jersey, then Esso)
Mobil (was Standard Oil of New York, which merged with Vacuum Oil)
Chevron (was Standard Oil of California)
Texaco
Gulf Oil (controlled by the Mellons)
Shell (Royal Dutch Petroleum)
British Petroleum (Anglo-Iranian)

They controlled 90% of crude exports to world markets by controlling every important pipeline in the world, such as the 753-mile TransArabian Pipeline from Qaisuma in Saudi Arabia to the Mediterranean Sea, which was owned by Exxon, Chevron, Texaco, and Mobil. Exxon owned the 100-mile Interprovincial Pipeline in Canada and also the 143-mile pipeline in Venezuela. The 799-mile Alaskan Pipeline was owned by British Petroleum and Exxon. By controlling these and other vital arteries they can restrict the flow of oil, limiting supplies to refineries.

These companies also had joint ownership of major crude oil production companies [throughout the middle east]:

Aramco Saudi Arabia

Exxon: 30%
Mobil: 10%
Chevron: 30%
Texaco: 30%

Kuwait Oil Co.

British Petroleum: 50%
Gulf: 50%

Iraq Petroleum

British Petroleum: 23.75%
Shell: 23.75%
Compagnie Francaise des Petroles: 23.75%
Exxon: 11.875%
Mobil: 11.875%
other: 5%

Iran Consortium

British Petroleum: 40%
Shell: 14%
Gulf: 7%
Exxon: 7%
Mobil: 7%
Chevron: 7%
Texaco: 7%
Compagnie Francaise des Petroles: 6%
other: 5%

Abu Dhabi Petroleum Co.

British Petroleum: 23.75%
Shell: 23.75%
Compagnie Francaise des Petroles: 23.75%
Exxon: 11.875%
Mobil: 11.875%
other: 5%

Abu Dhabi Marine Areas

British Petroleum: 66%
Compagnie Francaise de Petroles: 33%

Bahrain Petroleum Co.

Chevron: 50%
Texaco: 50%

The Seven Sisters were also interlocked with eight of the largest banks in the country, and with each other: Exxon had ties to Bank of America, Chevron, and Texaco; and Mobil had ties to Exxon, Shell, and Texaco. When six of the nation's major commercial banks held their Executive Board meetings, the directors of the top eight oil companies, with the exception of Gulf and Chevron, met with them.

When the Bank of America had a Board meeting, the directors of Chevron and Getty Oil met with them. Chevron also had ties with Western Bancorp. Shell and Mobil directors were present at the Board meetings of First National City Bank. Mobil also had ties with Bankers Trust, and Chemical Bank. Exxon was tied in with the Chase Manhattan Bank (a holding company for hundreds of smaller oil companies, including Humble Oil and Creole Petroleum), Morgan Guaranty, and Chemical Bank. Amoco (Standard Oil of Indiana) was tied in with Chase Manhattan, Continental Illinois, and National Bank and Trust.

Some of the oil executives who were members of the Council on Foreign Relations:

Lawrence G. Rawl (Chairman of Exxon)
Lee R. Raymond (President of Exxon, and Trilateral Commission member)
Jack G. Clark, Sr. (Vice President of Exxon)
Alfred C. Decrane, Jr. (Chairman of Texaco)
John Brademas (a Director of Texaco, and Trilateral Commission member)
William J. Crowe, Jr. (a Director of Texaco, and Trilateral Commission member)
Allan E. Murray (Chairman & President of Mobil, and Trilateral Commission member)
Lewis M. Branscomb (a Director of Mobil)
Helene L. Kaplan (a Director of Mobil)

During World War II, the Germans used coal to make pollution-free synthetic fuel. The Seven Sisters also controlled 70% of the U.S. coal supply, and their philosophy was "to mine it now, it's coal; to mine it later, it will be like gold."

The Yom Kippur War and the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973

These seven companies announced their alliance with the statement: "We have formed a very exclusive club ... And we are now united. We are making history." Remember, in 1914, Congress referred to [the Rockefeller controlled] Standard Oil as "the invisible government." The oil companies are powerful, and their power was never more apparent than it was during the manufactured "oil crisis" of 1973.

On October 6, 1973, as synagogues in Israel observed Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, Syrian MiG-21's attacked a group of Israeli jets. Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and eight other Arab nations had mobilized against Israel. Egypt attacked the Sinai Peninsula with 4,000 tanks, knocking out many Israeli tanks; while Syria attacked the Golan Heights with 1,200. New Soviet-made SAM-6 missiles plucked Israeli planes out of the sky with ease.

However, within a few days, the tide was turned. Israel regained control of the Heights, and took a large part of Syria. On October 12, they were only 18 miles from Damascus. With 12,000 soldiers, and 200 tanks, they swept across the Suez Canal in two directions to surround the Egyptian Third Army, which had been caught on the east side, and came within 12 miles of Cairo.

Since the first day of the war, Russia had been airlifting supplies to the Arabs, so to counter that move, the United States said they intended to supply Israel "with whatever it needs." Once Israel began smashing their way to victory, Russia sent a Naval force of 71 ships, including 16 submarines, to the Mediterranean, and put their seven airborne divisions on full alert.

On October 12th, the Chairmen of Exxon, Texaco, Mobil, and Chevron (who made up the production company of Aramco in Saudi Arabia), sent Chief of Staff Gen. Alexander Haig (who later became Reagan's Secretary of State) a memo warning against any increased aid to Israel, by saying it would "have a critical and adverse effect on our relations with the moderate Arab [oil] producing countries."

On October 17th, Omar Saqqaf, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, gave President Nixon a letter from King Faisal, which said that if the U.S. did not discontinue their shipment of military supplies to Israel within two days, there would be an embargo. Nixon stated that he was committed to supporting Israel. The U.S. Sixth Fleet of 49 ships, including 2 aircraft carriers, was sent to the Mediterranean, where they maintained a state of combat readiness.

OPEC met and decided to raise the price of oil to $5.12 a barrel, which was 70% higher than they had agreed to before the Arab-Israeli War. The next day, the Arab countries met, and decided to cut oil production by 5%, however, the Saudis later decided to cut back production by more than 20%, and by October 20th, had embargoed all oil shipments to the U.S. and countries that were partial to Israel.

As the Israeli counterattack continued, Egypt and Syria were in serious trouble and Russia urged the U.N. to call a ceasefire. Jim Akins, the ambassador to Saudi Arabia sent a message to Aramco that the oil embargo would not be lifted "unless the political struggle is settled in a manner satisfactory to the Arabs." Two days later, the Saudis requested from the Aramco directors information concerning the amount of oil used by the U.S. military, which they supplied. The Saudis then instructed them to stop all supplies to the military. In December, OPEC announced a price of $11.65 a barrel, and the result was economic chaos in the United States and Western Europe.

Though Aramco claimed that they had no choice in what they did, and that they weren't acting as agents of a foreign government against the United States, the cry went out that the oil industry was putting "profits before patriotism." Before the embargo, America was importing 1.2 million barrels oil a day; and by February, only 18,000 barrels, which was a drop of 98%. The rush was on to reallocate other sources of oil (Venezuela and Iran had not joined the boycott), and to distribute it throughout the world. The global emphasis of the American oil companies were revealed, when they refused to favor the U.S. at the expense of the other countries, causing us to lose a higher percentage of the available oil supply.

In Egypt, Sadat's terms for a ceasefire were that Israel had to withdraw from all territories that it had won during the 1967 war [which had been started by Egypt --ed]; thus pressure from the United States and the Soviets forced Israel to turn their victory into a negotiated compromise.

To add insult to injury, when the winter was at its worst during the shortage, the announcement that oil companies were experiencing record profits left a very sour taste in the mouths of Americans. Exxon announced that their third quarter profits were up 80% over the previous year, while Gulf was up 91%. Exxon ended up the year with a profit that was an all-time record for any company, in any industry.

By March, 1974, the embargo was lifted from the U.S., and the oil companies scrambled to salvage their shattered reputations. However, the incident would never be forgotten, because it shocked the American people back to the reality of just how much control a foreign government, and multinational corporations could exert over our nation. The price of oil never went down to their pre-embargo levels, and the threat of another shortage would always remain as the Arabs realized that they could achieve political leverage by using oil to blackmail the world.

The "Energy Crisis"

[Editor's note: This section was originally in chapter 9.]

Certain questions raised during the 1973 Oil Embargo, seem to point to the fact that the crisis was created by the Illuminati, as a test, to see what it would be like without gasoline for automobiles, and fuel for heating homes.

During the Embargo, Maine's Governor, Democrat Kenneth M. Curtis, accused the Nixon Administration of "creating a managed oil shortage to force support of its energy programs." A 1973 study by Philadelphia Inquirer reporters Donald Bartlett and James B. Steele revealed that while American oil companies were telling the U.S. to curtail oil consumption, through a massive advertising campaign, the five largest oil companies ( Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, Gulf, and Standard Oil of California) were selling close to two barrels overseas for every barrel (42 gallons) of oil sold here. They accused the oil companies and the Federal government of creating the crisis.

In 1974, Lloyd's of London, the leading maritime insurance company in the world, said that during the three months before the Embargo, 474 tankers left the Middle East, with oil for the world. During the three months at the height of the crisis, 492 tankers left those same ports. During the Embargo, Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) (whose President, Thornton Bradshaw, was a member of the CFR) drivers were hauling excess fuel to storage facilities in the Mojave desert. All of this evidence points to the conclusion that there was no oil shortage in 1973.

Antony C. Sutton wrote in Energy: The Created Crisis:

"Our mythical energy shortage can be dismissed with a few statistics. The U.S. consumes about 71 quads (a 'quad' is one quadrillion BTU's, or 10 to the 15th power British Thermal Units) of energy per year. There is available now in the U.S., excluding solar sources and without oil and gas imports, about 151,000 quads. Consequently, we have sufficient energy resources to keep us functioning at our present rate of consumption for about 2,000 to 3,000 years -- without discovering new reserves. Even at higher consumption rates there will be no problem in the next millennium."

In 1977, independent petroleum companies discovered 88% of the new oil fields, drilling on 81% of those. They have been hampered by the large corporations, referred to earlier as the Seven Sisters, who wanted to avoid adding to our national supply so they can profit from the higher prices. Carter's Department of Energy was established to perpetuate the propaganda of the existence of an energy crisis.

In 1975, an anonymous ARCO official told Hugh M. Chance, a former State Senator from Colorado, that the Government had allowed only one pool of oil in a 100 square mile area on Alaska's North Slope to be developed, even though the entire area north of Brooks Range has so much oil, that if it were drilled, "in five years the United States could be totally energy free, and totally independent from the rest of the world as far as energy is concerned." The Prudhoe Bay oil field is one of the richest oil fields on earth, able to produce an oil flow for at least 20 years, without the need of a pump; and a natural gas supply which could supply the entire country for 200 years. However, the Government wouldn't allow it to be pumped out, and it is funneled back into the ground. The Gull Island field had a different chemical structure, as did the Kuparuk oil field, west of there, which meant that the three different chemical compositions indicated the existence of separate pools of oil on the North Slope in an area of 50,000 square miles. Needless to say, this seems to be an almost unlimited supply of domestic oil.

Another ARCO official told Lindsey Williams, a chaplain for the work camps on the Trans-Alaska Oil pipeline, that "there will never be an energy crisis (because) we have as much oil here as in all Saudi Arabia." Williams had witnessed a huge oil discovery at Gull Island (5 miles north of Prudhoe Bay in the Beaufort Sea) that could have produced so much oil, that the official said that another pipeline could be built "and in another year's time we can flood America with oil- Alaskan oil ... and we won't have to worry about the Arabs." However, a few days after the find, the Federal Government ordered the documents and technical reports locked up, the well capped, and the rig withdrawn. Their excuse was that an oil spill in that part of the Arctic Ocean would kill various micro-organisms. Williams felt that the U.S. Government was deliberately creating an oil crisis, and delaying the flow of oil, in order to bankrupt the oil companies, which would lead to the nationalization of oil and gas. [see Williams' book "The Energy Non-Crisis"]

William Brown, Director of Technological Studies at the Hudson Institute, said: "The President (Carter) said there is no chance of us becoming independent in our oil supplies. That is just wrong. We have at least 100 years of petroleum resources in this country." In 1976, proven resources were set at 37 billion barrels and the estimated recoverable resources were set at 150 billion barrels. This is about a 50-year supply at current usage levels. The American Petroleum Institute said in their 1977 Annual report, that recoverable crude was set at 30.9 billion barrels, and with today's technology, the amount of recoverable crude was 303.5 billion barrels, which is about an 80-year supply. The 1968 U.S. Geological Survey reported that the crude oil potential of the Atlantic Ocean continental shelf area is 224 billion barrels, the Gulf of Mexico has 575 billion barrels, the Pacific Coast has 275 billion barrels, and Alaska has 502 billion barrels, which is a grand total of 1,576 billion barrels. Only about 2% of these areas have been leased, which at the time of the report, had yielded 615 million barrels of oil, and 3.8 TCF (trillion cubic feet) of natural gas yearly.

The Wall Street Journal said that we possessed "1001 years of natural gas." Only about 2% of the Outer Continental Shelf has been leased, even though it may contain over half of our potential natural gas reserves. Along the Atlantic Coast, there is a potential of 67 TCF of gas, yet only about a dozen wells had been drilled in those areas. The Potential Gas Committee said in 1972, that we had 1412 TCF in reserve; in 1973, Mobil said we had 758 TCF; Exxon said we had 660-1380 TCF; the U.S. Geological Survey reported in 1974, that we had 761-1094 TCF in reserve; the National Academy of Sciences said in 1974, that we had 885 TCF; and there were other reports which indicated that we had over 700 TCF. These sources did not include the unconventional sources of coalbeds, shale formations, "tight sand" formations, and deep underground water areas.

From conventional sources, our known reserves were estimated to be about 237 TCF, and underground reserves were estimated to be about 530 TCF. An analysis of unconventional resources indicated the following yield: tight sand (600 TCF), coal (250 TCF), shale (500 TCF), underground water zones in the Gulf (200 TCF), and synthetic gas from peat (1443 TCF). This all adds up to a total of 3,800 TCF of natural gas, and with the U.S. using an average of 21 TCF a year, that would be enough to provide us with another 100 years worth of energy. That doesn't take into account the synthetic gas obtainable from growing marine bio-mass, such as the California Giant Kelp (Macrocystis Pyrifera), which grows two feet per day, and could be a renewable source for the production of synthetic gas.

It is also estimated that the United States could have up to half of the world's known recoverable coal reserves, which could be about 200 billion tons -- 45 billion of which is near the surface. At the time of this report, maximum production up to 1985 would have only used 10% of this reserve, even if no new reserves were discovered. In 1979, Herbert Foster, Vice-President of the National Coal Association, said: "America has three trillion tons of coal out there, ready to be mined ... all we produced last year was 590 million tons. That's only one pound of coal for every 2-1/2 tons still in the ground. The U.S. Geological Survey has estimated our coal reserves will last us well into the next century." One reason coal development has been held up, is that 40% of all reserves are on land owned by the Federal Government, and environmentally-minded citizens.

The book The Next 200 Years by Herman Kahn and the Hudson Institute said:

"Allowing for the growth of energy demand ... we conclude that the proven reserves of these five major fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal, shale, and tar sands) alone could provide the world's total energy requirements for about 100 years, and only one-fifth of the estimated potential reserves sources could provide for more than 200 years of the projected energy needs."

The Hudson Institute said in 1974: "There is no shortage of energy fuels." Antony Sutton wrote: "The energy 'crisis' is a phony, a rip-off, a political con game designed to perpetuate a 'crisis' that can be 'managed' for political power purposes."

Conservative estimates indicate that we have 100 years of energy sources available, while evidence of other undeveloped finds show that we have adequate reserves that would last long beyond that. The Illuminati has a firm grip on the oil supply, and after their 'test' in 1973, its obvious that oil will be used as a weapon of control. One can only wonder what would happen to this country if a large-scale oil crisis occurred [or was created]. Needless to say, it would be a disaster of unbelievable proportions that most likely would cause an economic collapse. Law and order would not exist in this scenario, as the population would fight among themselves for the limited resources that would be available, thus making the perfect situation for a World Government to step in.

Mega-Mergers in the Oil Industry

There have been many changes in the oil industry since the inception of the Seven Sisters.

In 1984, Chevron (Standard Oil of California) bought and merged with Gulf Oil; and then in 2001, merged with Texaco (who in 1984 had bought Getty Oil), to become ChevronTexaco, the 2nd largest oil company in the country, and 5th largest in the world. In 2002, Shell Oil acquired a couple of Texaco's interests.

In 1987 British Petroleum purchased the remaining 45% of Standard Oil of Ohio (Sohio) that they didn't already own, then in 1998, merged with Amoco (Standard Oil of Indiana), and in 2000 merged with Atlantic Richfield (ARCO).

In 1998, Exxon (Esso, Standard Oil of New Jersey) merged with Mobil (Socony, Standard Oil of New York) to become ExxonMobil, the biggest oil company in the country, and third largest company in the U.S.

In 2001, Conoco (Continental Oil and Phillips Petroleum (Phillips 66) merged, to make ConocoPhillips, the 3rd largest oil company in the U.S., the 12th largest company, and the 6th largest oil company in the world.

The Seven Sisters are now the Four Sisters, so what you have now is an expanded amount of power and influence that is concentrated in less hands, as oil companies have sought to consolidate their interests because of economic concerns. It's uncanny in that it has happened in less than 20 years. It's almost as if the old Standard Oil Company was coming back together.

The Origin of the Club of Rome

The Conference on Conditions of World Order was held from June 12-19, 1965 at the Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, Italy, sponsored by the Congress for Cultural Freedom, with a grant from the Ford Foundation and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. A group of 21 scholars, writers and scientists from all over the world met to define the concepts of world order. A segment of their report by Helio Jaguaribe said:

"The establishment of world order depends not only on its intrinsic desirability and viability, but also on the support of men and groups who decide to dedicate themselves to the completion of such a goal. As increasing sectors of developed and underdeveloped societies begin to realize the urgent necessity of world order, the viability of its establishment, and the fact that it can be achieved by adopting measures which are reasonable in themselves, none of the governments will be able to escape public pressure for establishing world order ...

It is incumbent upon the intellectuals to play the decisive role in the formation of pressure groups in favor of world order ... the establishment of world order demands the mobilization of groups dedicated to international pressure for the gradual implantation of that world order ... the negotiated establishment of world order is theoretically possible and practically feasible since, in the last analysis, the probable effects of nuclear conflagration have made way an impractical alternative to the peaceful solution of contemporary problems."

Three years later, in April, 1968 a think-tank of financiers, scientists, economists, politicians, heads of state, and industrialists from ten different countries, again met at Rockefeller's private estate in Bellagio, Italy, at the request of Aurelio Peccei, the Italian industrialist who had close ties to Fiat and the Olivetti Corporation. He claimed to have solutions for world peace and prosperity, which could be accomplished through world government. The Club of Rome (COR) was established with a membership of 75 prominent scientists, industrialists, and economists from 25 countries, which along with the Bilderberg, have become one of the most important foreign policy arms of the Round Table group.

Many of the COR executives were drawn from NATO and they have been able to formulate a lot of what NATO claims are its policies. Through Lord Carrington, they were able to split NATO into two factions: a left-wing political group whose doctrine was formed on the basis of Peccei's book Human Quality, and its former military alliance.

The first Club of Rome conference in the U.S. was in 1969, where the American branch was organized as the "American Association of the Club of Rome." Among its members were:

Norman Cousins (honorary Chairman of Planetary Citizens)
John Naisbitt (author of Megatrends)
Amory Lovins (a speaker at Windstar, John Denver's New Age center in Snowmass, Colorado)
Betty Friedan (founding President of NOW, the National Organization of Women)
Jean Houston and Hazel Henderson (New Age authors and speakers)
Robert O. Anderson and Harlan B. Cleveland (CFR members and part of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies)
Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI)
Rep. Frank M. Potter (staff director of the House Subcommittee on Energy).

"The Limits to Growth"

Their first book titled The Limits to Growth was published in 1972 and dealt with the problem of worldwide overpopulation. It stated that "if the world's consumption patterns and population growth continued at the same high rates of the time, the earth would strike its limits within a century." The book, which sold 12 million copies in 27 languages, described their vision for the world:

"We believe in fact that the need will quickly become evident for social innovation to match technical change, for radical reform of the institutions and political processes at all levels, including the highest, that of world polity. And since intellectual enlightenment is without effect if it is not also political, The Club of Rome also will encourage the creation of a world forum where statesmen, policy-makers, and scientists can discuss the dangers and hopes for the future global system without the constraints of formal intergovernmental negotiation."

For the most part, the Club of Rome (main office at 193 Rissener Landstr. In Hamburg, Germany) functions as a research institute on economic, political, and social problems, and claims that "there is no other viable alternative to the future survival of civilization than a new global community under a common leadership." Their website claims:

"The Club of Rome's mission is to act as a global catalyst of change that is free of any political, ideological or business interest. The Club of Rome contributes to the solution of what it calls the world problematique, the complex set of the most crucial problems- political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural- facing humanity. It does so taking a global, long term and interdisciplinary prospective aware of the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalization of problems that pose predicaments beyond the capacity of individual countries."

On September 17, 1973, they released a Report called the "Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System" which was prepared by Directors Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel as part of the "Strategy for Survival Project". This revealed the Club's goal of dividing the world into ten political/economic regions... which would unite the entire world under a single form of government. These regions are: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, Rest of Developed World, Latin America, Middle East, Rest of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and China. The same plan was published in a Club of Rome book called Mankind at the Turning Point, which said:

"The solution of these crises can be developed only in a global context with full and explicit recognition of the emerging world system and on a long-term basis. This would necessitate, among other changes, a new world economic order and a global resources allocation system..."

In 1976, they published RIO: Reshaping the International Order which called for a new international order, including an economic redistribution of wealth.

During the Carter Administration, a task force was appointed to expand upon this report, and on July 24, 1980, a two-volume document called "Global 2000 Report," which had been written by former Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, was presented to President Carter, and then Secretary of State Edward S. Muskie. It attempted to project global economic trends for the next twenty years, and indicated that the resources of the planet were not sufficient enough to support the expect dramatic increase in the world population. The report called for the population of the U.S. to be reduced by 100 million people by the year 2050.

Howard T. Odum, a marine biologist at the University of Florida, who is a member of the Club of Rome, was quoted in the August, 1980 edition of Fusion magazine, as saying: "It is necessary that the United States cut its population by two-thirds within the next 50 years." He didn't say how this would be accomplished.

About six months later, the Council on Environmental Quality made recommendations based on the Report, called "Global Future: A Time to Act." They suggested an aggressive program of population control which included sterilization, contraception and abortion. In August, 1982, the Executive Intelligence Review published a report called "Global 2000: Blueprint for Genocide" which said that the two aforementioned Presidential reports:

"...are correctly understood as political statements of intent- the intent on the part of such policy centers as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the International Monetary Fund, to pursue policies that will result not only in the death of the 120 million cited in the reports, but in the death of upwards of two billion people by the year 2000."

Peccei wrote (based on a report by COR member Harland Cleveland, U.S. Ambassador to NATO, who believed that Third World countries should decide for themselves who should be eliminated):

"Damaged by conflicting policies of three major countries and blocs, roughly patched up here and there, the existing international economic order is visibly coming apart at the seams ... The prospect of the necessity of the recourse to triage deciding who must be saved is a very grim one indeed. But, if lamentably, events should come to such a pass, the right to make such decisions cannot be left to just a few nations because it would lend themselves to ominous power over life of the world's hungry."

Throughout the world, the Club of Rome has indicated that genocide should be used to eliminate people who they refer to as "useless eaters." This would be accomplished by using limited wars in advanced countries, and even a limited nuclear strike at a strategic location; as well as starvation through created famines and diseases in Third World countries.

In the 1976 novel Ceremony of the Innocent by Taylor Caldwell, she effectively explains the rationale behind their actions:

"...there will be no peace in the tormented world, only a programmed and systematic series of wars and calamities- until the plotters have gained their objective: an exhausted world willing to submit to a planned Marxist economy and total and meek enslavement- in the name of peace."

Origins of the HIV/AIDS Virus

Have their plans for genocide already started? [Since the 1970's], the Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has become a global plague, spreading to 91 nations [and resulting in millions of deaths].

In 1961, at the Litton Bionetics laboratory (who was working with the Navy's Biomedical Research Laboratory, in association with the Univeristy of California), retroviral experiments with African green monkeys and human T-cell leukemia were being conducted under the auspices of the National Institute of Health (contract # SVCP PR#8 NIH #71-2025).

[The experiments] consisted of taking monkey viruses that were harmless to humans, recombining them with DNA, RNA and enzymes from other animal viruses that were known to cause leukemias, lymphomas, and sarcomas; then causing them to jump species. The new mutant viruses were cultured into human white blood cells in some studies, and in other studies human fetal tissues, which [reportedly] produced "immune-system destroying, cancer-causing viruses". The scientist who was directing the tests was Dr. Robert Gallo.

In 1969 at a House Appropriations hearing, the Defense Department's Biological Warfare unit requested funds to develop, through gene-splicing, a new disease that would be resistant to treatment and break down a victim's immune system. They received $10 million (H.B. 15090), to produce "a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired."

In the 1972 Bulletin of the U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO), volume 47, it says:

[Recommendation (3):]

"An attempt should be made to see if viruses can in fact exert selective effects on immune function. The possibility should be looked into that the immune response to the virus itself may be impaired if the inflicting virus damages, more or less selectively, the cell responding to the virus."

-- "Virus Associated Immunopathology: Animal models and implications for human disease", WHO Bulletin, 1972, vol 47, no 2, pg 259

Derivatives from sheep and cattle have been commonly used to manufacture vaccines; however, certain viruses common to these animals can interact forming a new strain of deadly viruses called retro-viruses. In 1974, the National Academy of Sciences recommended that "Scientists throughout the world join with members of this committee in voluntarily deferring experiments (linking) animal viruses."

In 1975, Dr. Robert Gallo and eight other scientists (working at the Bethesda Cancer Research Center in Maryland) had been working to modify the genetic structure of the virus so that it could be more easily transmitted. That same year, after Fort Detrick had become demilitarized, the newly established Frederick Cancer Research Facility was placed under the direction of the Bethesda Cancer Research Center where Gallo was the Director.

One investigation revealed that in March, 1976, a special federal government virus development program began producing the AIDS virus, and it was headed by Dr. Gallo and Dr. Novakhatskiy of the Ivanosku Institute in Russia. Gallo would later be investigated and found guilty of scientific misconduct, but President Clinton pardoned him.

In response to the charges that AIDS was developed as a military biological warfare weapon, in February, 1987, Army Col. David Huxsoll said: "Studies at army laboratories have shown that the AIDS virus would be an extremely poor biological warfare agent." He later denied saying it.

Dr. Robert Strecker, a practicing gastroenterologist with a Ph.D. in pharmacology, who was hired as a consultant to work on a health-care proposal for Security Pacific Bank, said:

"I don't think there is any doubt that AIDS is a man-made problem. The question is whether it was created either accidentally or intentionally. I believe the AIDS virus was requested, predicted, produced, and deployed."

Strecker's research indicated that the AIDS virus was developed by the Frederick Cancer Research Facility of the National Cancer Institute, in cooperation with the WHO, in their laboratories at Fort Detrick, Maryland (which until 1969 was part of the U.S. Army's germ warfare unit, known as the Army Infectious Disease Unit, or Special Operations Division) by combining bovine (cattle) leukemia virus and visna (sheep) virus, and injecting them into human tissue cultures.

The bovine leukemia virus is lethal to cattle, but not to humans; and the visna virus is deadly to sheep, but not to man. However, when combined, they produce a retro-virus that can change the genetic composition of the cells that they enter. He said:

"If one analyzes the genes of the human AIDS virus and the genes of the bovine leukemia virus of cattle and the visna virus of sheep, and compares them, the genes appear related. How is it possible that the bovine visna virus -- which looks like AIDS and produces an AIDS-like disease, and which produced pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in chimpanzees in 1972 -- has not been analyzed and compared with AIDS ... until 1987 when 'Characterization and Molecular Cloning of Bovine Lente (Latin for 'slow') Virus Related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus' was published in Nature magazine. Matthew Gonda, the author, described a virus that looks like AIDS, named bovine visna virus, and suggested that it was most closely related to AIDS and may well be its precursor."

On August 11, 1988, Ted Strecker, Dr. Strecker's brother was found shot to death in his home in Springfield, Missouri. His death was ruled a suicide. A month later on September 22, 1988, Illinois State Representative Douglas Huff of Chicago was found dead in his home. The autopsy revealed that he died of a stroke as a result of an overdose of cocaine and heroin. Rep. Huff just happened to be a very vocal supporter of Dr. Strecker's work to publicize the AIDS cover-up.

The Beginning of the AIDS Epidemic

The most common theory about the origin of AIDS was that it came from green monkeys in Africa. Yet several virologists have said that the AIDS virus does not occur naturally in any animal. Besides, it would have been statistically impossible to reach the point we are at now, just from a single episode. If the AIDS virus had originated with the monkeys, then the disease would have surfaced with the Pygmies, who are closer to them, and use them as a food source, yet, it appeared first in the cities. Further damaging evidence comes from the fact that AIDS occurred almost simultaneously in the United States, Haiti, Brazil, and Central Africa.

In 1972, there was a vaccination program for smallpox in Africa by the WHO, and some researchers believe that the smallpox vaccination program was used to introduce the [HIV/AIDS] virus into the population. On May 11, 1987, the London Times ran an article called "Smallpox Vaccine 'Triggered AIDS Virus'" written by Science Editor Pearce Wright, who linked the mass vaccination program of the World Health Organization in the 1970's to the outbreak of AIDS, because Central Africa was the focus of the program and has become the most affected area in the world.

While in Africa AIDS is generally regarded as a heterosexual disease, in the United States it has the stigma of being a 'gay' disease. Prior to 1978, there was no sign of the AIDS virus here; yet in 1978, the killer disease struck with a vengeance within the homosexual community. The evidence points to the introduction [via] an experimental Hepatitis B vaccine. In 1969, Dr. W. Schmugner, a Polish physician, who was educated in Russia, came to the United States where he became head of the New York City Blood Bank. He set up guidelines for a Hepatitis vaccine study, and only promiscuous males between the ages of 20 and 40 were included in the study, which has led some to believe that this was how the virus was introduced into the gay population.

In 1978, more than 1,000 [promiscuous homosexual] adult males received an experimental vaccination against Hepatitis B, which was sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). With the Hepatitis vaccine, which is not produced from a human tissue culture, it is impossible to have an accidental contamination, which seems to indicate that the AIDS virus was intentionally put in the vaccine. In 1981, the Center for Disease Control reported that 6% of those receiving the Hepatitis vaccine were infected with AIDS, but in 1984, they admitted that it was actually 64%. These Hepatitis vaccine studies are now in the possession of the Justice Department in Washington, DC.

To allow the disease to become entrenched within the population, various facts were covered-up and glossed-over. A great deal of emphasis had been put on the prime cause of AIDS infection being the exchange of body fluid through sexual activity and intravenous drug use, which led to a campaign for the importance of using clean, unused needles, and condoms. The use of a condom does not guarantee protection against the transmission of the AIDS virus. All it takes is one AIDS virion (a complete virus particle with its outer coat intact) and the smallest sperm is 500 times larger that one such virion. In addition, the quality of condoms have become highly suspect, since failure rates of 30-50% have been reported.

The risk of casual contact has been played down, when in fact AIDS is a highly contagious disease which demands that a quarantine be placed on those who suffer from the disease [and that partners of infected persons be notified]. Rather than treat the disease as the epidemic that it is, the government has concerned itself with giving AIDS carriers more rights and more exposure to the general population. There is concrete medical evidence that indicates that the virus can survive up to 7 days on a dry petri dish, and up to 15 days in an aqueous (wet) environment. It can incubate [in the host] 10-15 years before causing any noticeable signs of illness, which means that in that period of time.

A February, 1985 report in the British medical journal Lancet, said: "There is little evidence for homosexual activity among African AIDS patients (and it) appears to be transmitted through heterosexual contact or exposure to blood through insect bites..." On September 9, 1985, a research team of researchers from the National Cancer Institute, the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology and the Institute of Tropical Medicine, said that "human retroviruses could be transmitted by mosquitoes or within the parasite itself." In a report published in the October, 1981, issue of Science, Boston hematologist Dr. Jerome Groopman, and researchers with the National Institute of Health said that recovery of the AIDS virus "from saliva suggests that direct contact with this body fluid should be avoided..."

On January 11, 1985, the Center for Disease Control reported: "There is a risk of infecting others by ... exposure of others through oral-genital contact or intimate kissing." Dr. Richard Restak, a Washington neurologist, made this statement:

"At this point live AIDS virus has been isolated from blood, semen, serum, saliva, urine and now tears. If the virus exists in these fluids, the better part of wisdom dictates that we assume the possibility that it can also be transmitted by these routes. It seems reasonable, therefore, that AIDS victims should not donate blood or blood products, should not contribute to semen banks, should not donate tissues or organs to organ banks, should not work as dental or medical technicians, and should probably not be employed as food handlers."

Professor William Haseltine of the Harvard Medical School, in a presentation to a University audience, said that:

"anyone who tells you categorically that AIDS is not contracted by saliva is not telling you the truth. AIDS may in fact be transmissible by tears, saliva, bodily fluids, and mosquito bites."

Progress of the AIDS Epidemic

In the early 1990's the U.S. News and World Report stated: "If there is not a cure for AIDS within the next thirteen years, tens of millions will die." Even though there has been a lot of talk about AIDS awareness and prevention, the full danger of it has been covered-up by the Center for Disease Control, and the media which has increasingly shown its pro-homosexual bias.

AIDS is an epidemic that will not be stopped. The scientists that created this deadly virus have created an organism that multiplies 100 times faster than influenza. There are more than 180 different AIDS viruses and 300 strains, which makes blood testing meaningless. The virus is constantly mutating, which makes it impossible to develop a general vaccine that would be effective with everyone.

Quite simply, AIDS is a world-wide, modern-day plague, and every year the number of those affected increases drastically. In the March, 1987 issue of Vanity Fair, Dr. William Grace, chief of Oncology at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York, is quoted as saying: "I think AIDS is going to devastate the American medical system. Besides not being able to combat it medically, the disease will progress to being an economic drain, especially if national health care is instituted."

Whether AIDS is [actually an instrument for the population reduction] that the Club of Rome has referred to... is undoubtedly open to speculation, even in light of all the questions raised. If its purpose is to thin out the population, it certainly has been successful.

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) came into existence in 1947 as the overseer of the multilateral trading system. It was an instrument of the United Nations. During the 1940's and 1950's the Congress and the country was not ready to have their economic authority transferred to international control. In 1958, Sen. George Malone of Nevada said:

"The global theory of free trade is siphoning off America's wealth and bringing her economy to the level of others. The theory is displacing American workers who otherwise would be employed."

"GATT 1994" was a document consisting of 22,000 pages of information, tariff schedules, rules and regulations; and 650 pages of enabling legislation. Based on its size, how many of our legislators do you think read every word of this trade agreement; and based on its complexity, if it was read, was it understood?

It is the only international agreement which sets the global rules for world trade, and provides for the mediation of disputes, which is argued by many to be the best way to open up foreign markets to U.S. exports, because protectionist countries, as well as the U.S. would have to lower their tariffs (producing a loss in revenue), to create an even playing field. However, critics familiar with its contents say that it will succeed in seriously damaging our national sovereignty and independence. Proponents disagree, saying that any country can withdraw from membership after giving a six month notice. As one of the 146 member nations, the United States would only have one vote, yet it would have to pay nearly 25% of the cost. The GATT agreement would have the power to force Congress to change laws by declaring them to be "protectionist" (WTO Charter, Article 16, Section 4), and if we don't comply, we would be subject to trade sanctions.

Even though, during the midterm elections of November, 1994, the country overwhelmingly voted to change the course our country has taken, GATT was still brought to a vote during the lame duck session of the 103rd Congress and passed, rather than waiting for the Republican-majority Congress that was elected. Some opponents believe that if the vote had been postponed it may never have been ratified, at least in its present form. But that was unlikely, since its passage was a bipartisan effort spearheaded by a group of key Republicans lead by Majority leader Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas and Speaker of the House Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia (a member of the CFR), and conservative think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute.

On January 1, 1995 the World Trade Organization (WTO), the descendant of the proposed International Trade Organization (1948) and Organization for Trade Cooperation (1954), replaced GATT [and included the provisions of] "GATT 1994." [see WTO and follow links to GATT documents]

Financier, Sir James Goldsmith, a member of the European Parliament, said in his testimony before Congress, that GATT would "cause a global social upheaval the likes of which Karl Marx never envisioned." The October 24, 1994 issue of Barron's, indicated that the WTO is a de facto world government. William Holder, deputy general counsel of the U.N.'s International Monetary Fund, said that the WTO is a de jure (by law) world government. In actuality, this legislation is a Treaty, and as such, should have required approval by two-thirds of the Senate; instead, it was considered a Trade Agreement, which only required a majority vote.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)

The economy of the United States, which has been allowed to erode for years, began to experience what may have been the beginning of the final assault, when the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was adopted in 1994. This two-volume document, nearly 1,100 pages in length, which incorporates most of the provisions of the 1988 Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), makes the United States, Canada, and Mexico unequal partners in trade. On December 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order #12662 which said, that regardless of the constitutionality of decisions made by the bi-national committees of the CFTA, the United States had to accept it.

When NAFTA was approved by Congress, more of our national sovereignty was given up to Mexico. Since Mexican workers do not have minimum wage protection and do not have the right to bargain collectively, the agreement has made Mexico fertile territory for American companies to relocate, thus creating a huge loss of American jobs, and the exploitation of the Mexican workforce. That is only part of the inequities that are contained in this agreement.

Since the inception of NAFTA (January 1, 1994) some of the initial results were that net exports to Mexico had fallen by nearly $500 million, our trade surplus with Mexico had been cut in half, more than 230 companies had moved to Mexico, and there had been a tremendous increase in America's investment in Mexico. Mattel, the toy manufacturing giant, said that NAFTA would create more American jobs, yet the Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch reported that they laid off 520 workers at their Medina, New York facility. The report further stated that "As of mid-August 1995, the Department of Labor had certified 38,148 workers as having lost their jobs to NAFTA." Months later, the Clinton Administration reported that 127,000 jobs were created by NAFTA (as of 2001, according to Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, research director of the North American Integration & Development Center at University of California at Los Angeles, only about 100,000 new jobs have been added), but what they didn't reveal, was that a report by the Joint Economic Committee of Congress indicated that the nation had lost 137,000 jobs (this total had risen to 316,000 by 2001).

During the first nine months of 1994, our trade surplus with Mexico shrunk by 27 percent. This report further said that this was "only the tip of the job displacement iceberg." According to Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), NAFTA promoters said that 60,000 American manufactured cars would be exported to Mexico in 1994, but only 28,000 were. Not only that, we ended up importing 278,000 cars from Mexico.

The highly skilled, well-paying positions have gone to Mexico, while low-paying, low-skilled jobs have been created in the United States. This stems from the fact that the raw materials and parts are exported to Mexico, assembled, then imported back into the country at a far greater value. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) said: "There's also a conspiracy of silence on the part of the Republican leadership in Congress who provided the votes needed to pass this turkey."

In 1848, Karl Marx said: "Free trade breaks up old nationalities ... in a word, the free trade system hastens social revolution." Henry Kissinger said that NAFTA represented "the most creative step toward a New World Order."

Founding of the Trilateral Commission (1972)

In July, 1944, during World War II, economist John Maynard Keynes of England and Harry Dexter White of the United States, organized the United Nation's Monetary and Financial Conference (or Bretton Woods Conference) in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire to lay out a plan for stabilizing the world economy. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was signed; and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) were established.

In the early 1960's, the American economy began declining, and the international situation became unbalanced again. On August 15, 1971, President Nixon announced a new economic policy. The dollar was devalued, and its convertibility to gold was suspended. He initiated a 90-day wage price freeze, stimulative tax and spending cuts, and placed a temporary 10% tariff on most U.S. imports. Japan and Western Europe were pressured into relaxing their trade barriers, in order to give the United States more access to them; and Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were requested to decrease the flow of goods and textiles into the country. These moves offered relief to the country's economic woes, but was an indication that Nixon was retreating from the global policies which were formulated during the 1960's.

This series of drastic changes in the U.S. international policy motivated David Rockefeller (a Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and head of the Illuminati in the U.S.), who, after attending the Bilderberg Conference and consulting with Zbigniew Brzezinski, wanted to "bring the best brains in the world to bear on problems of the future." Speaking at the Chase Manhattan International Financial Forums in London, Brussels, Montreal, and Paris, he proposed the creation of an International Commission of Peace and Prosperity in early 1972 (which would later become the Trilateral Commission). At the 1972 Bilderberg meeting, the idea was widely accepted, but elsewhere, it got a cool reception. According to Rockefeller, the organization could "be of help to government by providing measured judgment."

Zbigniew Brzezinski, a professor at Columbia University and a Rockefeller advisor who was a specialist on international affairs, left his post to organize the group along with:

Henry Owen (a Foreign Policy Studies Director with the Brookings Institution)
George S. Franklin
Robert Bowie (of the Foreign Policy Association and Director of the Harvard Center for International Affairs)
Gerard Smith (Salt I negotiator, Rockefeller in-law, and its first North American Chairman)
Marshall Hornblower
William Scranton (former Governor of Pennsylvania)
Edwin Reischauer (a professor at Harvard)
Max Kohnstamm (European Policy Centre)

Brzezinski was the author of the book Between Two Ages, which was published in 1970, in which he called for a new international monetary system, and it was considered to be the 'Bible' of the Trilateralists. On page 72, he said: "Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief." He called for "deliberate management of the American future" (pg. 260), a "community of nations" (pg. 296), and a "world government" (pg. 308). He became its first Director (1973-76), drafted its Charter, and became its driving force.

Funding for the group came from David Rockefeller, the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, and the Ford Foundation.


In July, 1972, Rockefeller called his first meeting, which was held at Rockefeller's Pocantico compound in New York's Hudson Valley. It was attended by about 250 individuals who were carefully selected and screened by Rockefeller and represented the very elite of finance and industry.

Within a year, after their first full meeting of the Executive Committee in Tokyo, the Trilateral Commission, considered to be an off-shoot of the Bilderberg group, was officially initiated, holding biannual meetings. Because of a heavy cross-membership, some researchers have said that they appear to be an inner circle of the Council on Foreign Relations, with ties to the Atlantic Institute for International Affairs (established in 1961), and the Bilderberg Group.

The Trilateral Commission represents a union of experts and transnational elite from the three noncommunist industrial regions of the world: North America, Japan, and Western Europe (excluding Austria, Greece, and Sweden). Rockefeller saw the need for such a private consultation among these three democratic areas. With the demise of the Bretton Woods system, they believed an overhaul was needed. The theory was that America's role should be diminished, and made equal to the Common Market [E.U.] and Japan, because together, the three represent 70% of the world's trade.

In 1973, David Rockefeller met with 27 heads of state, including representatives from the Soviet Union and China; and in 1974, had a meeting with Pope Paul VI, who afterward called for the nations to form a world government.

A Trilateral Commission Task Force Report, presented at the 1975 meeting in Kyoto, Japan, called An Outline for Remaking World Trade and Finance, said: "Close Trilateral cooperation in keeping the peace, in managing the world economy, and in fostering economic development and in alleviating world poverty, will improve the chances of a smooth and peaceful evolution of the global system." Another Commission document read:

"The overriding goal is to make the world safe for interdependence by protecting the benefits which it provides for each country against external and internal threats which will constantly emerge from those willing to pay a price for more national autonomy. This may sometimes require slowing the pace at which interdependence proceeds, and checking some aspects of it. More frequently however, it will call for checking the intrusion of national government into the international exchange of both economic and non-economic goods."

Structure of the Trilateral Commission

In his 1979 book Who's Running America?, Thomas Dye said that Rockefeller was the most powerful man in America. Journalist Bill Moyers (a CFR member), wrote about the power of David Rockefeller in 1980:

"David Rockefeller is the most conspicuous representative today of the ruling class, a multinational fraternity of men who shape the global economy and manage the flow of its capital ... Private citizen David Rockefeller is accorded privileges of a head of state ... He is untouched by customs or passport offices and hardly pauses for traffic lights."

The Trilateral Commission is actually controlled by the Rockefellers, who oversee its activities and provide guidance for their policies. Much of the funding is provided by corporations and foundations, including the Rockefeller foundations.

Their membership consists of over 300 members (with membership ceilings of 107 from North America, 150 from Western Europe, and 117 from Pacific-Asian), made up of top bankers, industrialists, businessmen, labor leaders, scholars, politicians, senators, and governors. They only consider people interested in promoting close international cooperation, especially among non-communist industrial nations. There is a Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and Director for each of the three areas, as well as a 44 member Executive Committee. Many Cabinet level officers and advisors from [every recent administration] have served on the Commission.

Each branch of the organization (in Washington, Paris and Tokyo) has a small full-time staff. The Commission holds an annual three-day meeting, rotated among the three areas, to discuss the world monetary situation, and other economic and military issues. The meetings are closed to the public, and the media is denied access.

Until 1985, the Commission published a quarterly magazine called the Trialogue. The first three issues were devoted to significant international matters, while the fourth covered in detail their annual meeting. They still publish a report about their annual meeting. Their Task Force Reports usually take up to a year to prepare, and they are always written by at least three experts, representing each region. [Many of these publications are available at their website. --ed]

David Rockefeller said in a Saturday Evening Post article he wrote to defend his group:

"My point is that far from being a coterie of international conspirators with designs on covertly ruling the world, the Trilateral Commission is, in reality, a group of concerned citizens interested in fostering greater understanding and cooperation among international allies."

However, those who have penetrated the inner workings of the organization say the real purpose of the Commission is to take over all key policy-making positions in the government. Antony Sutton wrote in the Trilateral Observer that the Trilateralists have rejected the U.S. Constitution and the democratic political process; and their objective is to obtain the wealth of the world for their own use, under the guise of "public service", and to have, ultimately, a one-world socialist government, with them in control.

Conservative critics claim the "Commission constitutes a conspiracy seeking to gain control of the U.S. Government to create a new world order." Mike Thompson, Chairman of the Florida Conservative Union, said: "It puts emphasis on interdependence, which is a nice euphemism for one-world government." Sen. Barry Goldwater wrote in his book With No Apologies:

"In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power: political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be done in the interest of creating a more, peaceful, more productive world community. What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future."

Jimmy Carter: The Trilateral President (1976-80)

Late in 1972, W. Averell Harriman (known at that time as the "grand old man of the Democrats"), Establishment strategist and CFR member, told Milton Katz (also a CFR member and Director of International Studies at Harvard): "We've got to get off our high horses and look at some of those southern governors." Carter was mentioned, and Katz informed Rockefeller, who had actually met with Carter in 1971, when they had lunch in the Chase Manhattan's Board of Director's dining room, and he was impressed with the fact that Carter had opened trade offices for the state of Georgia in Tokyo.

In February, 1973, while former Secretary of State Dean Rusk (a Bilderberger) was having dinner with Gerald Smith (U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Non-Proliferation Matters), Rusk suggested that Carter would be a good candidate for the Commission. In April, while Robert Bowie (former professor of International Affairs at Harvard, who later became Deputy Director of the CIA), George S. Franklin (Rockefeller assistant, CFR member, and Coordinator for the Commission), and Smith were discussing the recruitment of candidates, it was decided that they needed better representation from the South. Franklin went to Atlanta to talk to Carter, and then proposed his name for membership. It had been a choice between Carter, and Gov. Reuben Askew of Florida.

In the fall of 1973, after having dinner with David Rockefeller in London, Carter's political momentum began. From that point on, he was groomed for the Presidency by Zbigniew Brzezinski, and the Trilateralists. Just to be on the safe side, they also brought in Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale (a protege of Hubert Humphrey, whose eventual withdrawal from the Presidential race guaranteed the Democratic nomination for Carter), and Rep. Elliot Richardson (former U.S. Attorney General; Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare and Secretary of Defense, and Under Secretary of State under Nixon; former Secretary of Commerce under Ford; and former Ambassador to Great Britain) as possible candidates, and even considered Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Brzezinski said in an October, 1973 speech: "The Democratic candidate will have to emphasize work, family, religion, and increasingly, patriotism, if he has any desire to be elected." Carter campaigned by stressing those very virtues, as he asked America to elect him, an "outsider," to clean up the mess in Washington.

In December, 1975, seven months before the Democratic National Convention, the Gallup Poll indicated that only 4% of the country's Democrats wanted Carter. Even the Atlantic Constitution in his own state, ran a headline which said: "Jimmy Carter Running For What?". However, within six months the nomination was his because of the most elaborate media campaign in history. Carter was glorified as the new hope of America as the media misrepresented his record as Governor in Georgia. This led former Georgia Governor Lester Maddox to say: "Based on false, misleading and deceiving statements and actions ... Jimmy Carter in my opinion, neither deserves or should expect one vote from the American people."

Even though Carter later resigned from the Trilateral Commission, he was hardly an "outsider." He was supported by the Trilateral Commission, the Rockefellers, and Time magazine. Early contributions came from Dean Rusk, C. Douglas Dillon, Henry Luce, and Cyrus Eaton. Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers Union, and Henry Ford II, both of whom are CFR members, endorsed Carter on the same day.

Carter's two major foreign policy speeches during the primary campaign were made to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and the Foreign Policy Association. He used terms like "a just and peaceful world order," and "a new international order." In another primary campaign speech, Carter talked about "world-order politics."

A Los Angeles Times article in June, 1976, identified the advisors that helped Carter prepare his first major speech on foreign policy, all of whom were all members of the CFR and most were also members of the Trilateral Commission:

Zbigniew Brzezinski
Richard Cooper
Richard Gardner
Henry Owen
Edwin O. Reischauer
Averell Harriman
Anthony Lake
Robert Bowie
Milton Katz
Abram Chayes
George Ball
Cyrus Vance

During his acceptance speech, after winning the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, Carter attacked the

"...unholy, self-perpetuating alliances [that] have been formed between money and politics ... a political and economic elite who have shaped decisions and never had to account for mistakes nor to suffer from injustice. When unemployment prevails, they never stand in line for a job. When deprivations results from a confused welfare system, they never do without food, or clothing or a place to sleep. When public schools are inferior or torn by strife, their children go to exclusive private schools. And when bureaucracy is bloated and confused, the powerful always manage to discover and occupy niches of special influence and privilege."

Carter's religious convictions became a big part of his campaign, but things weren't really what they seemed. Carter claimed that his favorite theologian was Reinhold Niebuhr (a pro-communist), former professor at the Union Theological Seminary (which had been funded by the Rockefellers), who founded the Americans for Democratic Action. He denied the virgin birth, and the resurrection of Christ. Carter also admired Karl Barth (who said the Bible was "fallible" and filled with "historic and scientific blunders" and "theological contradictions"), Paul Tillich, and Soren Kierkegaard, all liberals who led the 'God is Dead' movement during the 1960's.

After Carter beat Gerald Ford, Hamilton Jordan, his chief aide, said: "If, after the inauguration, you find Cy Vance (former President of the Rockefeller Foundation) as Secretary of State and Zbigniew Brzezinski as head of National Security, then I would say we have failed." In an interview with Playboy magazine, Jordan said he would quit if they were appointed. They were; he didn't.

Brzezinski, whom Henry Kissinger had called his "distinguished presumptive successor", had become Carter's biggest influence. It was Brzezinski who said:

"The approaching two-hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence could justify the call for a national constitutional convention to re-examine the nation's formal institutional framework. Either 1976 or 1989 -- the two-hundredth anniversary of the Constitution -- could serve as a suitable target date culminating a national dialogue on the relevance of existing arrangements..."

When James Earl Carter took the oath of office, he said that the "United States will help erect ... a world order." This self-proclaimed "outsider" filled many of his administrative posts with establishment insiders from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Brookings Institution, and the Coca-Cola Company [whose headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia]. Extracted from Coke were George Ball, Clark Clifford, Samuel P. Huntington, Marshall Shulman, Richard Gardner, Henry Owen, Robert Roosa, and J. Paul Austin. Because of the extent to which he used the company when he was governor, he called the Coca-Cola company his "own State Department."

The Trilateral Commission had accomplished its goal of controlling the Presidency, and it heralded that fact by making Jimmy Carter Time magazine's Man of the Year in January, 1977. The Editor-in Chief for Time was Hedley Donovan, a Rhodes Scholar and a member of the Commission.

Commission members must resign when they accept positions in the Executive branch, but they remain loyal, and usually rejoin the group when their service is complete. About 40% of the American Trilateral members joined the Carter Administration. In all, 291 members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations joined the Administration. Among the Carter Administration officials who have been members:

Jimmy Carter (President)
Walter F. Mondale (Vice President)
Cyrus Vance (Secretary of State, nephew of John W. Davis, of the J. P. Morgan bank who was the first President of the CFR)

Trilateral Foreign Policy

In the July, 1977 issue of Atlantic Monthly, Jeremiah Novak wrote:

"Although the Commission's primary concern is economic, the Trilateralists pinpointed a vital political objective: to gain control of the American Presidency... For the third time in this century, a group of American schools, businessmen, and government officials is planning to fashion a new world order..."

Craig S. Karpel wrote in a November, 1977, Penthouse magazine article Cartergate: The Death of Democracy:

"The presidency of the United States and the key cabinet departments of the federal government have been taken over by a private organization dedicated to the subordination of the domestic interests of the United States to the international interests of the multi-national banks and corporations. It would be unfair to say that the Trilateral Commission dominates the Carter Administration; the Trilateral Commission is the Carter Administration."

U.S. News and World Report stated:

"The Trilateralists have taken charge of foreign policy-making in the Carter Administration, and already the immense power they wield is sparking some controversy. Active or former members of the Trilateral Commission now head every key agency involved in mapping U.S. strategy for dealing with the rest of the world."

Being dominated by the chief advisors of the Commission, almost every aspect of Carter's foreign policy reflected a Trilateral viewpoint. They took advantage of Carter's ignorance of foreign policy, which resulted in a series of concessions to Cuba, Panama, Red China, and Russia.

The Panama Canal was given away by the Carter Administration in a treaty negotiated by Sol Linowitz of the Commission. The reason? Marxist Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos owed the International Bankers $2 billion in loan payments, so income received from the Canal could help pay them back. The U.S. also guaranteed a 5-year program of loans and credits, which amounted to $295 million; and a 10 year, $50 million arms sale agreement to bolster the defense of the Canal.

In Asia, Carter withdrew a large number of troops from South Korea and granted full diplomatic relations with Red China, so American industry could begin trade with the communist government. When Carter broke off diplomatic relations with the government of Taiwan, Sen. Goldwater said at a news conference:

"I have no idea what motivated him other than the Trilateral Commission, composed of bankers in this country and others, want to expand big business ... He did it for the big banks of the world– Chase Manhattan and the French bankers and for companies like Coca-Cola."

In a 1978 meeting with 200 Trilateralists at the White House, Carter said that if the Commission had been in existence after World War I, they would have prevented World War II. In his book Why Not the Best, Carter said: "Membership on this Commission has provided me with a splendid learning opportunity, and many other members have helped me in my study of foreign affairs."

Carter's membership in the organization was the only foreign policy experience he had, and that was limited to attending a couple of conferences in Europe and Japan. Congressman John Anderson, himself a member, said that Carter became a member just to improve his image. Carter's indoctrination made him a willing pawn in furthering the goals of the Trilateral Commission. In a personal letter to the Commission, who was meeting in Tokyo, Japan, in January, 1977, he wrote:

"We share economic, political, and security concerns that make it logical we should seek ever increasing cooperation and understanding. And this cooperation is essential not only for our three regions, but in the global search for a more just and equitable world order."

The Commission, which operates in literal secrecy, made news in the fall of 1979, when David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and John J. McCloy (former President of the Ford Foundation, former President of the World Bank, Chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, former High Commissioner to Germany, and on the Advisory Board of Foreign Affairs magazine) pressured Carter into allowing the deposed Shah of Iran (who had financial dealings with the Chase Manhattan) into the country for medical treatment. The move caused the Iranian government, under the leadership of the Ayatollah Khomeini, to storm the American Embassy, and hold 52 American hostages for nearly 1-1/2 years. Carter's inadequacy in dealing with this situation certainly cost him the election.

The Election of Ronald Reagan (1980)

The Presidential election of 1980 saw two other former Trilateralists running for President. Jimmy Carter was running for re-election, and Illinois Rep. John Anderson was running as an Independent. Republican George Bush had resigned his post on the Council on Foreign Relations because they were "too liberal"; however, he didn't resign his seat on the Commission.

The son of Sen. Prescott Sheldon Bush (R-CT, who during the 1930's was on the Board of Directors of Union Banking Corp. of New York which helped finance the Nazis), George Bush had been born in Maine, raised in Connecticut, and attended Yale, where he was a member of the secret organization known as "Skull and Bones" (or "The Order"). He had been a two-term Republican Representative from Houston, Texas; Ambassador to the U.N.; Chairman of the Republican National Committee; and Director of the CIA. The Bushes were closely associated with the international banking firm of Brown Brothers, Harriman who helped finance the growth of the Soviet Union.

On March 17, 1980 during the campaign Ronald Reagan was asked if he would allow Trilateral Commission members to serve in his cabinet, and he responded by saying:

"I don't believe that the Trilateral Commission is a conspiratorial group, but I do think its interests are devoted to international banking, multinational corporations, and so forth. I don't think that any Administration of the U.S. Government should have the top nineteen positions filled by people from any one group or organization representing one viewpoint. No, I would go in a different direction."

After a bitter Primary fight, Reagan chose Bush to be his Vice Presidential running mate, over the likes of Rep. Philip Crane from Illinois, and Sen. Jack Kemp from New York. Reagan had originally wanted former President Ford to be his Vice-President; however, Ford wanted the power to appoint people to the National Security Council and the Cabinet. He also wanted to prepare "position papers" on foreign policy matters. This situation would have been almost like a co-Presidency, making Reagan more of a figurehead, which he refused to be, so his only other option was Bush.

Manchester Union Leader publisher William Loeb made the Commission a campaign issue during the New Hampshire Primary by saying: "It is quite clear that this group of extremely powerful men is out to control the world." He accused them of advocating a "world order in which multinational corporations ... can thrive without worrying about so-called national interests." During the campaign, Reagan attacked Carter's ties to David Rockefeller, and other Trilateral financiers; while Edwin Meese, a Reagan advisor, said that Trilateral influence was responsible for a "softening of defense."

Although Reagan appeared to be anti-Commission, it was only a front. Reagan's Campaign Manager, William J. Casey (former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who Reagan later appointed as Director of the CIA) was a Trilateralist. His campaign was controlled by such Trilateralists as David Packard, George H. Weyerhauser, Bill Brock, Anne Armstrong, Philip M. Hawley, William A. Hewitt, Caspar Weinberger, and others who were CFR members.

Reagan received a great deal of support by such Christian political action groups as the Moral Majority, Round Table, and Christian Voice, and on November 6, 1980 said:

"I think there is an elite in this country and they are the very ones who run an elitist government. They want a government by a handful of people because they don't believe the people themselves can run their lives ... Are we going to have an elitist government that makes decisions for people's lives, or are we going to believe as we have for so many decades, that the people can make these decisions for themselves?"

This sounds a lot like what Carter said. Maybe Reagan was still acting -- just on a far bigger stage. After the election, the November 24th issue of the U.S. News and World Report revealed:

"Top officials of the Reagan team have sent a message to the Moral Majority: 'It isn't your Administration' ... '[To] Hell with them', Vice-President-elect George Bush declared on November 10th in Houston, referring to right-wing groups that supported the President-elect."

The Bohemian Club

Reagan also had the personal support of David Rockefeller and belonged to the elitist Bohemian Club in San Francisco.

The Bohemian Grove is the site of an annual two-week summer retreat [in July] on a 2,700 acre redwood estate about 75 miles north of San Francisco near the town of Monte Rio along the Russian River. It was established in 1872 by five reporters of the San Francisco Examiner as a social club "to help elevate journalism to that place in the popular estimation to which it is entitled." By 1878, when the first Grove-fest took place, reporters were being pushed out. Newsweek(August 2, 1982) called it "the world's most prestigious summer camp".

There is a $2,500 initiation fee, and annual dues of $600. Nearly every Republican President since Calvin Coolidge has been a member of this "conservative" club, and President Herbert Hoover called it the "greatest men's party on Earth." Among its 2,000 members are other high level government officials, and the very elite of America's corporate power, who sit on a variety of organizations such as the Trilateral Commission, CFR, and the Committee for Economic Development.

Some of the Bohemian Club members have included:

Alexander Haig
Caspar Weinberger
Richard Nixon
Henry Kissinger
George P. Shultz
Newt Gingrich
Stephen Bechtel, Jr.
Alan Greenspan
Gerald R. Ford
Jack Kemp
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Colin Powell
William F. Buckley, Jr.
Merv Griffin
Joseph Coors
Edward Teller
Malcolm Forbes
Ronald Reagan
A. W. Clausen
George H. W. Bush
William French Smith
Richard Cheney
William E. Simon.

Members "...own 25-30% of all privately held wealth in America, own 60-70% of the privately held corporate wealth ... direct the large corporations and foundations, and dominate the federal government in Washington." The bottom line, is that the Grove provides "one of the most influential meetings of the powers-that-be" and a setting for policy-making on specific issues.

It has been said that the Manhattan Project (which created the first atomic bomb) was first discussed at the Grove. One of the few stories to emerge was about a 1967 agreement by Ronald Reagan over a drink with Nixon to stay out of the upcoming Presidential primaries.

More recently, in June of 1993, the Washington Times reported:

"[Clinton] Presidential counselor David Gergen resigned yesterday from the all-male Bohemian Club, three days after saying he would not run around naked at its annual Bohemian Grove encampment and insisting he would not[?] quit. White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers announced the resignation along with Mr. Gergen's departure from 17 other interest groups, charities and public boards ranging from the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group and Council on Foreign Relations."

Ronald Reagan: Another Trilateral President (1980-88)

Reagan's 59-member "transition team" who would pick, screen, and propose appointees for major administrative posts, consisted of 28 CFR members, 10 Bilderbergers, and 10 Trilateralists. The CFR members included William Simon (former Secretary of Treasury under Nixon and Ford), Alexander Haig, George P. Shultz (former Secretary of Treasury under Nixon), Donald Rumsfeld (former Secretary of Defense under Ford), Alan Greenspan (former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors), and Henry Kissinger; and the Trilateralists included William Casey and Anne Armstrong.

A note about George Pratt Shultz. His father was Dr. Birl Earl Shultz, who from 1918-23 was Personnel Director of the American International Corporation in New York which was located in the same building as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They [AIC] had offered $1,000,000 in credits to the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution. Shultz was a close friend of Armand Hammer's father, Julius Hammer, co-founder of the U.S. Communist Party. George was a member of the Pratt family, who were related to the Rockefellers, and who donated the Pratt mansion to the CFR [for their headquarters]. According to The Oregonian (1/3/87), George Shultz was quoted as saying: "The New Age has already dawned, and a new financial World Order is fast taking shape."

Reagan had 287 CFR and Trilateral Commission members in his Administration. Trilateral member, Caspar W. Weinberger (Reagan's Finance Director when he was Governor of California, former Vice President of Bechtel Corp., and former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Nixon and Ford), became Secretary of Defense. Weinberger said:

"The Trilateral Commission is performing a very valuable service in strengthening the ties between the United States and our natural allies."

Other Trilateral members who joined the Administration included:

Alexander Haig (Secretary of State)
George Shultz (Secretary of State)
Nicholas Brady (Secretary of Treasury)
Donald Regan (Secretary of Treasury)
John C. Whitehead (Deputy Secretary of State)
Caspar Weinberger (Secretary of Defense)
Frank Carlucci (Deputy Secretary of Defense)
Winston Lord (Ambassador to China)
Malcolm Baldridge (Secretary of Commerce)
William Brock (Secretary of Labor)
Alan Greenspan (Chairman of the Federal Reserve)
Note that all of these (except Brady) were also CFR members.

Seemingly, Reagan was the Establishment's candidate all along, because he played ball with them. Republican Presidential candidate (during the 1980 Primary) John Connally, said that if he was elected, he wouldn't appoint any Trilateralists to his Administration. His campaign quickly ran out of steam -- and money.

The 1984 Presidential campaign included Trilateralists Walter Mondale, Sen. John Glenn from Ohio, and Sen. Alan Cranston from California, fighting for the Democratic nomination among a slate of seven candidates. Cranston had been the President of the United World Federalists. After World War II, he traveled the country saying that disarmament "must be done by an international army and a world court." However, he changed his tune when he became a Presidential candidate, and said: "I do not feel that world federalism is a realistic objective" and that disarmament "does not require world government." When asked about his membership with the United World Federalists, he said: "I would point out that at the time I was national president of the United Federalists, one of its more noted members was one Ronald Reagan."

Winston Lord, former president of the CFR, U.S. Ambassador to China during the Reagan Administration and Assistant Secretary of State for Asian and Pacific Affairs under Clinton is reported to have said:

"The Trilateral Commission doesn't run the world, the Council on Foreign Relations does that!"

Trilateralists in Recent Administrations

Regardless of the election outcome, members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations have continued to dominate the White House and U.S. policy making. Among the Trilateralists in the George H.W. Bush Administration (1988-92) were Brent Scowcroft (National Security Advisor), and Nicholas F. Brady (Secretary of Treasury). Bush himself later rejoined.

Trilateralists in the Bill Clinton Administration (1992-2000) include:
Bill Clinton

Al Gore (Vice President)
Donna E. Shalala (Secretary of Health and Human Services)
Alice M. Rivlin (Deputy Budget Director)
Madeleine Albright (UN Ambassador)
Peter Tarnoff (Under Secretary of State for International Security of Affairs)
Warren M. Christopher (Secretary of State)
Ronald H. Brown (Secretary of Commerce)
Henry G. Cisneros (Secretary of Housing and Urban Development)
Bruce Babbitt (Secretary of Interior)
Walter Mondale (U.S. Ambassador to Japan)
William J. Crowe (Chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board)
William S. Cohen (Secretary of Defense)
William J. Perry (Secretary of Defense)
Lloyd N. Cutler (Counsel to the President)

Trilateralists in the George W. Bush Administration (2000-2004) include:

Richard B. Cheney (CFR, Vice President)
Robert B. Zoellick (CFR)
Brent Scowcroft (past member)
Richard N. Haass (CFR)
Henry A. Kissinger (CFR)
Stephen J. Friedman (CFR)
Richard N. Perle (CFR)
Colin L. Powell (Secretary of State)
Donald H. Rumsfeld (Secretary of Defense)

The Ten Federal Regions (1972)

On April 21, 1935, the New York Times magazine published a plan in which the States would merge into new units called Federal Regions that would be controlled from Washington, DC. In 1959, Nelson Rockefeller called for an Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR), which became a federally-funded Rockefeller think-tank within Congress to prepare a working formula for the concept. The ACIR analyzed information produced by the Public Administration Clearing House (also known as the "1313") and translated it into legislation to develop regional government, which would usurp the power of the local government.

The Clearing House, located at the Rockefeller-controlled University of Chicago, represented a group of 26 private organizations which had been infiltrating local government agencies to usurp their power and authority. Some of these organizations are: National Association of Counties, National League of Cities, U.S. Conference of Mayors, American Public Works Association, Public Personnel Association, National Association of Attorney Generals, and the National Governors Conference. Their purpose was to train and place a "new administrative class" in every level of government, which would replace elected officials.

On March 27, 1969, as published in the Federal Register, under the direction of his Illuminati advisers [including Nelson Rockefeller] President Nixon announced the "Restructuring of Government Service Systems" plan which called for the merging of the States into eight [later ten] federally-controlled regions.

Executive Order #11647 was signed by Nixon on February 10, 1972, establishing Federal Regional Councils for the "development of closer working relationships between major Federal grant-making agencies of State and local government." An Executive Order, when decreed by the President, is printed in the Federal Register, and then [unless challenged by Congress] becomes law 15 days later.

This Executive Order was unconstitutional because Article IV of the U.S. Constitution prohibited the merging of the states, and guaranteed a government represented by elected officials. However, regional government was accepted [by the states], because it brought with it "revenue-sharing" funds.

In each of the ten standard Federal Regions, there was to be a Council made up of the directors of the regional offices of [Federal departments and agencies]. The President was to designate one member of each Council as the Chairman. Here is how the ten Regions are organized (with the regional offices in parenthesis):

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts (Boston), Connecticut, Rhode Island
New York (New York), New Jersey, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico
Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia, District of Columbia
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia (Atlanta), South Carolina, Florida
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois (Chicago), Indiana, Ohio
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas (Dallas-Ft. Worth), Arkansas, Louisiana
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas (Kansas City), Missouri
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado (Denver)
Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, California (San Francisco), American Samoa, Guam, N. Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Micronesia
Idaho, Washington (Seattle), Oregon, Alaska

In October, 1976, Jimmy Carter said before the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC):

"I believe that regional organizations should be strengthened. If elected President, I intend first to upgrade the role of regional councils representing the federal government to assist State and local officials, as well as private citizens, in dealing with federal agencies ... I also intend to encourage the development of regional councils representing State and local governments."

Carter expanded the Federal Regional System on July 20, 1979 with Executive Order #12149 to "provide a structure for interagency and intergovernmental cooperation ... to establish practical and appropriate liaison functions with State, tribal, regional and local officials."

Each of the ten Councils were made up of a representative from each of the following agencies: Dept. of the Interior; Dept. of Agriculture; Dept. of Commerce; Dept. of Labor; Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare; Dept. of Housing and Urban Development; Dept. of Transportation; Dept. of Energy; Environmental Protection Agency; Community Services Administration; Office of Personnel Management; General Services Administration; ACTION (Peace Corp., VISTA, senior citizen programs, and other special volunteer programs); Small Business Administration; Federal Emergency Management Agency; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and the Regional Action Planning Commission. It included over 550 aid programs and block grants. The Department of Education was added later, after it separated from the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare (which became the Dept. of Health and Human Services).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (1979)

On the same day [July 20, 1979], Carter signed Executive Order #12148: "Federal Emergency Management" which created the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an agency within the Department of Justice, which oversees all of the federal agencies that have specific duties during times of emergency, such as the Federal Disaster Assistance Agency, and the Federal Emergency Broadcast System.

It seems that only about 10% of its personnel are actually involved in disaster assistance. It [also] has the capability to assume [emergency] government control if necessary, and they have been given police powers which some researchers believe will be used as the enforcement branch of the Regional Government; in other words, a national police force. Its purpose was to merge every community's police force, transferring control of them to the central government. This was done through revenue-sharing funds providing special training programs to the local police, special communications equipment, and other things. The National Guard began receiving SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactical Team) training to be part of this national police force. Located at the National Security Agency building in Fort Meade, MD, it has been reported that FEMA has been actively engaged in developing a computer database, for CAPS (Crisis Action Programs), to collect records on millions of Americans.

In addition to dividing the country into ten Federal Regions [bypassing State and local government], the government has also been making plans for the establishment of a literal dictatorship [in the event of a "declared emergency"], which among other things, will freeze prices and wages, close the Stock Exchange, and regulate the amount of money you can withdraw from your checking and savings account.

#10312 (12-10-51) Gives Government the power to take over all radio stations.
#10346 (04-17-52) All Federal Departments and Agencies are required to prepare civil defense plans.
#10995 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over all communications and media.
#10997 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over all energy and power sources such as electricity, petroleum and natural gas.
#10998 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over farms, farm machinery, and food sources; including production, manufacturing, processing, distribution, and retailing.
#10999 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over all modes of transportation, seaports, highways, etc.
#11000 (02-16-62) Gives Government the authority to mobilize citizens into work forces under Government supervision.
#11001 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over all health, welfare and educational functions.
#11002 (02-16-62) The Postmaster General will be responsible for registering all Americans.
#11003 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over all airports and aircraft.
#11004 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over housing and financial institutions, to relocate communities, to erect new housing with public funds, to declare areas to be abandoned because they are unsafe, and to establish new locations for the population.
#11005 (02-16-62) Gives Government the power to take over all railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
#11051 (09-27-62) Authorization for Executives Orders to be put into effect during times of international, economic, or financial crisis, and for the Office of Emergency Planning to carry them out.
#11310 (10-11-66) Gives Government the power to use all prisons to administer medical treatment, for mass feeding, and for housing.

Executive Order #11490 (10-28-69) which was amended by order #11921 (6-11-76), consolidated these previous Executive Orders (#10312, #10346, #10997-#11005, #11087-#11095, and #11310). It assigned emergency preparedness functions to most Federal Departments and Agencies to assure the "continuity of the Federal Government."

[Since 1976, successive administrations have continued to increase the emergency powers of the Federal government via Exective orders and legislation. The declaration of an "emergency" is at the discretion of the President. --ed]

The Newstates Constitution (1974)

In October, 1970, the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, a tax-exempt foundation in Santa Barbara, California (financed by the Ford and Rockefeller with up to $2.5 million annually), published in their magazine Center an article called the "Constitution for the United Republics of America". The principle author of this document was Rexford Guy Tugwell (Assistant Secretary of Agriculture under President Franklin Roosevelt), who directed a team of close to 100 socialist educators who contributed to the project.

In Tugwell's 1974 book, The Emerging Constitution, the 40th version of the original draft was published as "A Constitution for the Newstates of America," which the Ford Foundation spent $25 million to produce and promote. Tugwell claimed that our Constitution was too cumbersome and needed to be changed. He believed that it was possible to get this new "Constitution" adopted, and said:

"...it could happen that the present system of government would prove so obstructive and would fail so abysmally to meet the needs of a continental people and a great power that general recognition of the crisis would occur. There might then be a redrafting of the basic law, and, if so, then it might be that this model we have worked out over a number of years might be taken into account."

The new Constitution called for the States to be divided into Ten Federal Regions, called Republics, which would be "subservient departments of the national government." The President would serve one 9-year term with two Vice-Presidents. A hundred Senators would be appointed by the President for lifetime terms, not elected; and there would be 400 members in the House of Representatives. Each of the 100 Congressional Districts would elect three Representatives for three-year terms; another 100 would be elected by the entire country to serve nine-year terms, and only they could become Committee Chairmen.

This proposed Constitution contains no guarantees of the freedoms that we now have under the Bill of Rights. For example:

Article I, Part A, Section 1: "Freedom of expression shall not be abridged except in a declared emergency". In an emergency, the government would have the power to curtail communication, movement, and the right to assemble.

Article I, Part B, Section 8: "The bearing of arms or the possession of lethal weapons shall be confined to police, members of the armed forces, and those licensed under the law". Private citizens would not be allowed to own firearms.

Article VI, Part B, Section 9, Subsection 8: "To assist in the maintenance of world order... to vest jurisdiction in international legislative, judicial and administrative agencies."

A meeting arranged by Nelson Rockefeller was held from April 5-8, 1976 in Philadelphia with representatives from the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, the League of Women Voters, the National Council of Churches, National Urban League, NAACP, United Auto Workers, Common Cause, and various other University professors and governmental experts, to study our present Constitution to see if it could be modernized and improved.

With the completion of the proposed Newstates Constitution, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, president of the U.S. Senate, developed support for the introduction of H.C.R. 28, which called for an unlimited Constitutional Convention in 1976. Swift public opposition soundly defeated this attempt, so the Convention supporters then went to the states promoting a "limited convention for the purpose of adding a balanced budget amendment."

They were able to convince 32 of the required 34 states to pass resolutions calling for a convention. The last state to sign on was Missouri in 1983, but after that, the legislatures in three states (Alabama, Florida and Louisiana) realized the consequences of their actions and rescinded their call.

The Declaration of Interdependence (1976)

On January 30, 1976, came the announcement of "A Declaration of Interdependence", a document which endorsed a one-world government. The announcement was made at a meeting held at Philadelphia's Independence Hall, which was sponsored by the World Affairs Council (and had stemmed from a five point program they had announced in September, 1975). The meeting was funded with a $100,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Bicentennial Committee. The document, written by CFR member Henry Steele Comsmager began with this sentence:

"Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order."

It was signed by 24 U.S. Senators and 80 U.S. Representatives, including:

Sen. Alan Cranston (D-CA, CFR)
Sen. Jacob Javits (R-NY)
Sen. Hubert Humphrey D-MN)
Sen. George McGovern (D-SD)
Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI)
Sen. Charles Mathias (CFR)
Sen. Clairborne Pell (CFR)
Rep. Paul Simon
Rep. Patricia Shroeder
Rep. Louis Stokes
Rep. Les Aspin (Secretary of Defense under Clinton)
Rep. John B. Anderson (R-IL)
Rep. Morris K. Udall (D-AZ)

This document went through further drafts, and in 1984, it was presented by the Committee on the Constitutional System (CCS) as an alternative to the existing Constitution. One of the group's Board members, James MacGregor Burns, a history professor, said:

"If we are to turn the founders upside down ... we must directly confront the constitutional structure they erected."

About a third of the CCS Board members belonged to the CFR, including Chairman C. Douglas Dillon (former Secretary of Treasury), Lloyd Cutler (former legal council to President Carter, and council to President Clinton), and Sen. Nancy Kassebaum. Some of the other members were: Robert McNamara (former Secretary of Defense under Kennedy and Johnson), Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Sen. Charles Mathias, Sen. William J. Fulbright, and others who were associated with the Brookings Institution, Rockefeller Foundation, and Woodrow Wilson Center.

It is ironic, but organizations claiming to be "conservative," seem to be the strongest supporters for a Constitutional Convention. Most notable are: American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), National Taxpayers' Union (NTU), Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Committee on the Constitutional System (CCS).

In 1992, Ross Perot, who had become a political force to be reckoned with, publicly called for a Constitutional Convention. In guest appearances with Barbara Walters, Phil Donahue and Larry King he stated that we needed a Parliamentary Government, and pledged that "his people" could get the remaining states needed for a Constitutional Convention call "in their sleep."

The Conference of States (1995)

Another threat to our Constitution was the Conference of States (COS). It was being peddled as a movement for the states to come together and discuss the need to balance the relationship between the states, and the federal government, in a "co-equal partnership," even though our original Constitution intended for the States to be sovereign, and for the federal government to only have limited powers.

Their first meeting was to be held in Annapolis (MD), July 6-9, 1995, with a historical reenactment of the 1786 Annapolis convention; and the second had been planned for October 24-26, 1995 (which, ironicaIly, was the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the UN), in Philadelphia (PA), a reenactment of the 1787 convention. It was being funded by three private organizations which are associated with the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR): Council of State Governments (CSG) (established in 1930 with funding from a Rockefeller grant), National Governors Association (NGA), and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) (established in 1933 with funding from a Rockefeller grant).

In December of 1994 the NCSL had a meeting in North Carolina where state legislators were told the Conference of States was a way for States to keep the federal government from encroaching on their sovereignty. So this COS resolution was taken back to their respective state legislatures and the first 12 states were able to ratify it through deceit by having legislative leaders introduce it, bypassing any committees so there would be no hearings, and bringing it to the floor for a quick vote. According to Michael Leavitt, the Republican governor of Utah, the goal of the Resolution's proponents was to have 26 states pass it, although Governor Nelson of Nebraska was pressing for 34, which was the exact number of States needed to call for a Constitutional Convention.

Leavitt, a member of the ACIR, told the Salt Lake City Tribune in 1994 that he wanted a Constitutional convention. In a May, 1994 Position Paper, he said that our government was "...outdated and old fashioned ... not suited for the fast-paced, high-tech, global-marketplace we are entering. There is a better way...". The "better way" he suggested seemed to be an end-run around the Constitution, because the COS literature indicated their interest in passing Constitutional amendments. He indicated his high expectations for what the meeting could accomplish:

"Congress tried to limit the convention's authority by stating it would meet 'for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation' ... As we all know, the delegates to the great Constitutional Convention in 1787 in Philadelphia did much more than that. They threw out the Articles of Confederation and drafted a new constitution."

Though Article V of the Constitution indicates that two-thirds of the States must vote for a constitutional convention before Congress could call one, the COS was planning to use the same method the delegates did at the Annapolis convention in 1786. Within ten years, the Constitution that was originally drafted on June 12, 1776 (and fully ratified by 1781), was no longer able to meet the needs of a growing nation. The delegates of Virginia, New York, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, meeting in Annapolis were charged with the task of amending the Articles of Confederation, and were to meet in Philadelphia "for the sole and express purpose of revising" them. The need for a stronger central government was expressed, one that didn't limit States rights. However, upon meeting in Philadelphia in May, 1787, they locked all the doors, and posted armed guards; and even closed all the windows, so they could deliberate in secret while they actually set up a new national government. Neither the Congress or the people could stop them. Their work was finished on September 17, 1787 (and was fully ratified on May 29, 1790), and the Constitution of the United States was born, and is still in existence today.

Many people were worried about this Conference of States, because nobody was really sure what could happen. Charles Duke, the Republican state senator from Colorado, said that the COS would be the "edge of the sword that knocks the head off the Constitution."

Case law mandates that members of a constitutional convention must be directly elected by the people, so they can act as their representatives to exercise the sovereign power of the state. Each state delegation to the COS would consist of the governor, and two leaders from each party in the state legislature (plus two alternates, one from each party), and therefore could be empowered with the necessary legal status as representatives of the people, should the decision be made to turn the meeting into a constitutional convention.

Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA), and 33rd degree Mason Bob Dole (R-KS) openly supported the COS, and on March 24, 1995, Republican senators Hank Brown (CO) and Jesse HelmsJesse Helms (R-NC) sponsored a Senate Resolution which would give Congressional authorization to transform the COS into a bonafide Constitutional Convention. They maintained that without this Congressional approval, it would be in conflict with Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution, which does not allow any agreements between States.

Ultimately, because only 14 state legislatures passed resolutions calling for their participation in the COS, which was short of the 26 needed, their organizational meeting scheduled for July, 1995 was cancelled.

It is obvious that the Illuminati had taken a two-prong approach to regional government. They have been working within the confines of the Executive Branch to get various Executive Orders passed; and they have also used their various finger organizations to study our existing constitution, and recommend changes. All of their efforts may eventually culminate in a call for a Constitutional Convention that will spell the end of [the Republic] as we know it in this country.

Social Chaos as a Political Weapon

Revolution has always been the method used to facilitate change, and it would seem likely that an environment could be created that would ultimately lead to a revolt by the citizens of this country. As our economy continues to decline, and it becomes harder for people to get by, there may be a ground swell of revolt across the country against the government [more likely, against each other --ed]. Of course, the Illuminati has already planted these seeds.

For example, a major strike in the transportation industry could cripple this country; nothing would move, and there would be no way to get food and other products to the cities. This would be a crucial blow to the economy, and would most likely be accompanied with acts of violence and sabotage. Indeed, this situation would make it possible for the initiation of martial law, and a World Government to step in to maintain control.

The Communist [revolutionary movement] is not dead -- only sleeping. When it awakes, most likely under the banner of Socialism, it will be a force to be reckoned with. Despite [Russian and Chinese] overtures toward democracy, they are clearly continuing to follow an agenda to undermine the United States. Their subversive agents in this country have maps of all strategic locations, such as military firearm storage, police stations, power plants, railroads and other transportation centers, communication centers, and water reservoirs.

Riots [and chaos] could easily be instigated through the many terrorist groups that exist here. Riots, bank robberies, racial strife, skyjackings, strikes, assassinations, [bombings], and kidnappings, are not just unrelated events. According to J. Bernard Hutton in his 1972 book The Subverters:

"[the] increasing violence and terrorism is a direct result of an organized world-wide plot to destroy the Western democracies."

The "Useful Idiots" of Socialist Revolution

Jerry Rubin, who was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at Kent State University, said on July 20, 1970:

"The first part of the Yippie program is to kill your parents. And I mean that quite literally, because until you're prepared to kill your parents, you're not ready to change the country. Our parents are our first oppressors."

In his book Do It, he wrote:

"We've got Amerika (sic) on the run. We've combined youth, music, sex, drugs, rebellion with treason -- and that's a combination hard to beat ... High school students will seize radio, TV, and newspaper offices across the land ... Police stations will blow up ... Revolutionaries will break into jails and free all prisoners ... The Youth International Revolution will begin with mass breakdown of authority, mass rebellion, total anarchy in every institution in the Western World..."

Jerry Kirk, a student at the University of Chicago, who was active in the Communist Party up to 1969, told the House and Senate Internal Security Committees:

"Young people have no conception of the conspiracy's strategy of pressure from above and pressure from below, so well outlined in Jan Kozak's And Not A Shot Is Fired. They have no idea they are playing into the hands of the Establishment they claim to hate. The radicals think they are fighting the forces of the super-rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and don't realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own revolution, financing it, and using it for their own purposes."

In his book, The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary, James S. Kunen (who in April, 1968, was one of the students who took over Columbia University) wrote:

"In the evening we went up to the U. to check out a strategy meeting. A kid was giving a report on the SDS Convention. He said that ... at the Convention men from Business International Roundtables ... tried to buy up a few radicals ... These men are the world's leading industrialists and they convene to decide how our lives are going to go. These are the guys who wrote the Alliance for Progress. They are the left wing of the ruling class ... They offered to finance our demonstrations in Chicago (1968). We were offered Esso (Standard Oil of New Jersey, Exxon– Rockefeller) money. They want us to make a lot of radical commotion so they can look more in the center as they move to the left."

In a 1987 edition of Gay Community News this interesting bit of information was published:

"We shall sodomize your sons ... We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all-male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us ... All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked ... All homosexuals must stand together as brothers ... We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy ... We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals ... We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks ... We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers [and the top Nazis --ed]. The family unit will be abolished ... All churches who condemn us will be closed ... We too are capable of firing guns and manning barricades of the ultimate revolution."

On September 19, 1993, a large group of homosexual activists disrupted the Sunday evening service at a Baptist Church in San Francisco, California. When the riot police finally were called in to force the gays out of the church courtyard, the rioters moved to the emergency exit doors on the side of the church where they "pounded and kicked the doors, seeking to break them down." As the churchgoers left, they were shouted and cursed at; and the speaker had debris thrown at him. A group of gay demonstrators were heard yelling: "We want your children! Give us your children!" Through it all, not one arrest was made.

Building The Police State

Regardless of who is involved in these riots, the police and the military will be mobilized to bring order. In 1965, the Department of Justice established the Office of Law Enforcement Assistance to help the local police fight crime. In 1968, as part of the Crime Control Act, it became known as the Law Enforcement Assistance Agency (LEAA).

Charles H. Rogovin, an administrator of the LEAA, said in an October 1, 1969 speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, meeting in Miami:

"If local law enforcement fails, then something else will replace it. I do not raise the spectre of a Federal police force merely to frighten you. Look at the organized crime field. We now see a substantial federal effort there -- and not simply because organized crime is interstate in nature. It is also because law enforcement has failed to do its job."

The LEAA originally discussed the possibility of a National Police Force to be used in the event of a civil disturbance, for crowd dispersal and to neutralize revolutionary leadership. The Deputy Attorney General of California had said during a conference on Civil Emergency Management that "...anyone who attacks the State, even verbally, becomes a revolutionary and an enemy by definition. They are the enemy and must be destroyed."

On December 30, 1975, after it was signed into law by Gov. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown, Jr., the California National Guard announced that they were prepared to provide emergency assistance to any local police force in the country. They introduced the 1,200 member Law Enforcement Assistance Force (LEAF), which was a specially trained and equipped military police force to handle mass disturbances and riots, which could be put into place within 12 hours. Although they were phased out in the mid-1980's it appeared that LEAF was the forerunner of a national police force.

This national police force began taking shape through the Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force (MJTF), a creation of the Department of Defense, and is a joint operation of FEMA and the National Guard Bureau. The idea was that, with less military involvement abroad, some of our military personnel could be reassigned to this type of domestic duty. The MJTF was to be the coordinating body of the BATF, FDA, CIA, DEA, IRS, Federal Marshals, National Guard, and local police organizations.

Since 1971, there have been many reports concerning unmarked black helicopters, which appear to be part of the military's domestic counter-terrorism program. It has since been reported by various researchers that they originate from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, which is based in Ft. Campbell Kentucky, and Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia. They are a special operations unit that was initially used by the Delta Force, and now are being used by FEMA. They call themselves the 'Night Stalkers' and their motto is "Death Waits in the Dark."

It has been reported that a growing number of American military aircraft, with the exception of the Coast Guard, have been painted dark gray or dark green, and either have no visible markings identifying them as U.S. aircraft, or have low-visibility markings. It is believed that the purpose for this is so our equipment can be easily transitioned for use as part of any United Nations operations.

Since 1987, the U.S. Army has been training the police, local National Guard units, and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), in how to break in and enter private property, as part of their new urban warfare training. The U.S. Army's Office of Public Affairs announced that the Defense Department Authorization Act passed by Congress in 1987, initiated this new training, which was being carried out in military bases such as Fort Hood (TX), Fort Benning (GA), and Fort McClellan (AL).

There have been reports of anti-terrorist training missions which have taken place throughout the country. Marines from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit at Camp Lejeune (NC), along with air support from the unmarked black helicopters, carried out a late-night raid in July, 1993, on Tybee Island, near the mouth of the Savannah River. In early 1994, the Army and the Alaska State Police held a joint operation on the Kenai Peninsula, near Anchorage. In July, 1994, Marines from the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit at Camp Pendleton (CA), held urban warfare training in different locations around Sacramento. In October, 1994, Army Special Forces and the Detroit Police SWAT team, engaged in anti-terrorist training missions at a vacant 6-story apartment house on West Alexandrine Street, and at a group of abandoned houses in Van Buren Township, a suburb of Detroit, near the Willow Run Airport.

A mock city was constructed in the northern area of Fort Polk, in Louisiana, one of the Joint Readiness Training Centers (there are others in Fort Ord, CA and Fort Chaffee, AR), which was labeled a "Military Operations in Urban Terrain Complex" (MOUT). It is also the location of the North American Training Center for the United Nations. Smaller MOUTs are located in Fort Drum (NY) and Fort Indiantown Gap (PA), who have a model town called Johnson City that is used for urban warfare training.

The FBI had established an anti-terrorist training compound at the abandoned Brown and Root, Inc. construction yard in Belie Chasse, Louisiana, just south of New Orleans. The purpose of this urban warfare training was the perfection of "house-to-house searches and controls on the civilian population," which will be used to disarm the American people through force. It has been suggested that the U.N. operations in Somalia and Haiti were used as practice runs for disarming the civilian population.

Disarming the Citizens

In 1970, the FBI estimated that the private citizens of the country had a total of 90 million weapons, including 35 million rifles, 31 million shotguns, and 24 million handguns (while the armed forces only had a small arms inventory of 4.8 million guns). Estimates in the early 1990's placed the number of registered handguns in this country at 70 million, and the number of unregistered at 50 million. The Illuminati will not instigate any kind of uprising if Americans are able to defend themselves. Because of this, there has been a massive attack on our constitutional right "to keep and bear arms."

From the 1970's to 1990's the incidence of violent crimes more than doubled. The Government's solution is to disarm the criminals, but also at the same time, they want to also disarm law abiding citizens.

The extended waiting period mandated by the Brady Bill was only the beginning, there have been other Bills introduced in Congress to ban guns. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum said during a 1993 Senate hearing: "Until we can ban all of them, then we might as well ban none." He also said: "The best way to keep handguns out of the wrong hands is through licensing. Licensing is a barrier to gun crime."

At his Senate Confirmation Hearings in 1993, FBI Director Louis Freeh said: "The strongest gun legislation ... I will enforce diligently and exhaustively." U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders said: "Handguns are a public health issue." Senator Joseph Biden said: "(Banning guns) is an idea whose time has come." Rep. Mel Reynolds said on CNN's Crossfire: "If it were up to me we'd ban them all." [President] Bill Clinton (as quoted in USA Today, March 11, 1993) said: "We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..."

In 1994, the National Rifle Association got their hands on a secret document which represented the blueprint for the gun-control lobby. The first step was to use the media to create a clamor for gun control in this country, and this would in turn sway the opinion of a large portion of the population to support such a measure. The second step would be the initiation of gun control legislation that would establish annual licensing fees, and surcharges on ammunition.

After two years, the third step would involve a massive increase in the licensing fees. The reason given, would be because of the costs involved to enforce the law, when in fact, it would be to discourage ownership. The failure to get a license would result in a $1,000 fine and/or six months in jail; and if your license lapses, your failure to turn your guns over to the government, would result in a $15,000 fine and/or eighteen months in jail. Both instances also result in the loss of the right to own a firearm.

After two more years, the fourth step would call for further legislation to increase the licensing fees even more. Their ultimate goal "is to reduce the number of licensees to zero." In this way, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States will be circumvented in order to take the guns out of the hands of the American people. After that, the population will be defenseless against government forces. They hoped to accomplish this within 15 years. Noah Webster said in 1787:

"Before a standing army or a tyrannical government can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe."

Recently, Sarah Brady, one of the leading proponents in this country against handguns said:

"Our task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."

Foreign Troops for U.S. Domestic Operations

Will the U.S. military go against American citizens if so ordered by the Federal Government? It was reported that a 46-question survey was handed out in May, 1994, to "300 randomly selected" Marines (veterans of the Panama operation and the Persian Gulf War) at the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base in the Mohave Desert about 70 miles east of San Bernadino, California. The soldiers were asked for their reaction to various statements, such as U.S. military troops being commanded by U.N. officers, whether the President "has the authority to pass his responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief to the U.N. Secretary-General," and if they would serve in a United Nations military force to "maintain world peace."

The survey was concluded with this:

"46. The U.S. Government declares a ban on the possession, sale, transportation, and transfer of all non-sporting firearms. A thirty (30) day amnesty period is permitted for these firearms to be turned over to the local authorities. At the end of this period, a number of citizen groups refuse to turn over their firearms. Consider the following statement: I would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S. Government."

After the news of this survey surfaced in The Spotlight, and the November, 1994 issue of American Legion Magazine, it was later reported that it was part of a soldier's Master Thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and did not "reflect any government program." However, the February, 1994 issue of Modern Gun magazine reported that a similar survey had been given to some Navy SEALS.

The thesis, called Peacekeeping and U.N. Operational Control: A Study of Their Effect on Unit Cohesion, had been classified until March, 1995, when it was approved for public dissemination. In response to the question about swearing allegiance to the U.N., 208 Marines said they would not do so (117 of those strongly disapproved), and 71 said they would (with 19 of those strongly approving). And, in regard to the infamous question 46, of the 264 Marines who responded, 185 said they would be opposed to firing at Americans (with 127 strongly opposing), and 79 said they would be willing to shoot if ordered (with 23 strongly affirming).

Even if one out of every four Marines would shoot American citizens, what this survey revealed was that, for the most part, our military probably could not be relied on to act as a cohesive force to fire upon the citizens of this country.

On November 11, 1990, President George Bush signed an Executive Order that authorized the presence of U.N. Battle Groups in the U.S., and there are 15 reported to be here. Before leaving office, in a major speech to the United Nations, Bush said that the United States would permit U.N. troops to use various military bases for "training purposes," and "multi-national field exercises."

The military staff of the U.N. Secretary-General had called for a "Rapid Response Peace Force" of 60,000 soldiers, for instant deployment; a "Permanent Peace-Keeping Force" of 275,000 soldiers, for conflict control; and a "Standing Reserve Peace Force" of 500,000 soldiers for U.N. duty wherever necessary. On March 16, 1993, Senate Joint Resolution No. 65 called for the "establishment of a commission to study the creation of a standing international military force under the United Nations Charter."

In 1993, Clinton issued Presidential Review Directive (PRD) #13, supporting U.N. Secretary General Boutros-Ghali's proposal for a U.N. military force, substantially made up of Americans. However, Gen. Colin Powell, Commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff insisted on a codicil that said if any U.S. commander believed his orders violated the U.S. Constitution, or placed our country or military forces at risk, the orders could be disregarded. On May 3, 1994, Clinton signed the Presidential Review Directive #25, which put U.S. military commanders under the authority of the U.N. during U.N. military operations, and instructed the Department of Defense to establish a U.S. military organizational structure which included the United Nations. It was PRD #13 without the Powell codicil.

On June 24, 1994, the National Guard Bureau, an agency of the Department of Defense (which coordinates all the state National Guard units), developed the "National Guard State Partnerships with the Russian Federation" which enabled troops from 14 of the newly formed Russian Federation (as well as other countries in east and central Europe), to train in this country with the National Guard units of some states. According to Clinton's "Bridge to America" proposal, the purpose of these partnerships was to "assist the participating nations' transition to democratic military institutions with peacetime utility in providing military support of civilian authorities..." Troops who were attached to the Russian Interior Ministry were seen training with the U.S. 10th Special Forces Group, who were being reassigned to Fort Carson, Colorado. The Russian soldiers were still wearing the red berets bearing the hammer and sickle, the symbol of Communism. Russians have also been seen training with the SWAT team of Las Vegas, Nevada, and were reportedly involved in joint military training operations in Alaska and Alabama.

Belgian troops were seen in North Dakota and Montana. German soldiers were seen training at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix, Arizona; as well as Fort Bliss (TX), and Fort McClelland (AL). There have been reports of 19,000 U.N. troops in Fort Polk (alleged site of a large underground facility), Louisiana, consisting of French, Pakistani, and 2 battalions of Russian soldiers; 600 U.N. troops near Dulce, New Mexico; 40,000 U.N. troops staged in Sacramento, California, as well as 40,000 U.N. troops in San Diego, 22,000 U.N. troops just south of Los Angeles, 50,000 National Guard and U.N. troops located near Barstow; 43,000 U.N. troops in the Texas panhandle; and 14,000 U.N. troops in Anchorage, Alaska.

The use of Fort Dix in New Jersey (a major east coast base, in an area of 50 square miles, right next to McGuire Air Force Base) was fully committed for U.N. purposes. Razor wire now surrounds some parts of this base, and there was a sign pointing the way to an Enemy Prisoner of War compound. In addition, in May, 1991, the German government negotiated a deal with our government, which gave them permission to establish a German military facility in our country. There hasn't been a foreign military presence here since Great Britain's occupation during the War of 1812.

Foreign soldiers have been training with American troops in order to function as a cohesive multi-national unit that will operate under the authority of the United Nations. A multi-national U.N. military force stationed in this country would fire upon American citizens.

Journalist Pam Schuffert, author of Premonitions of an American Holocaust, while she was in Germany, asked some soldiers if they knew that German troops were training at Fort Bliss and Holloman, and if they were there "for the hour of martial law, to help arrest Americans and seize their weapons and fire upon them if they resist." One of them replied: "Yes, we have heard all this, and it is true."

Russia-made T-72 main battle tanks have been spotted on our nation's highways, being hauled on flatbed trailers. It is reported that at least 30 may have been brought here. One government response was that they were being used in military war games. Also seen, were Soviet surface-to-air missiles and surface-to-surface missiles. A Soviet Hind-D attack helicopter, and a Soviet Helix anti-submarine naval attack helicopter were seen at the Gulfport National Guard facility in Mississippi. Hundreds of railroad flat cars have been seen with both Russian and U.N. equipment. Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) reported that the aircraft, as well as hundreds of other pieces Russian-built equipment were being purchased and used for training purposes. And he's right: urban warfare training.

Hundreds of Soviet Z1L-131 military trucks were photographed in Saucier, Mississippi, which were imported from East Germany with a U.N. bill of lading by Airmar Resources Corporation. They were said to be used, and were to be reconditioned and sold. However, many only had a little more than 1,000 miles on them. They were to be painted white, marked for U.N. use and shipped to Africa, yet many of them have been sent to destinations in this country. There was a report from Montana concerning three train loads of military vehicles, some painted white and marked with the U.N. designation.

The evidence seems clear, that our government is stockpiling military equipment in preparation for a massive assault against the American people– if necessary. It is believed that there are now over 30 foreign military bases in this country under the United Nations flag, that are manned with a million foreign troops. Because our soldiers could not be counted on to fire upon American citizens, they have been sent overseas as U.N. peacekeepers, while foreign troops have been brought in that will follow orders to detain, and shoot, anyone who is a threat to the New World Order.

The attack on David Koresh and the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas [in 1993] may have been just a glimpse of what is going to happen in the future to groups who don't toe the government line. In order to control the population, rather than the wholesale [public] slaughter of people that would further turn public opinion against them, large groups of people will be rounded up to be sent to detention centers for questioning, incarceration, or worse. Michael Maholy, who for 20 years was a CIA-Naval Intelligence agent, said about the detention centers:

"Oh, all of us in the intelligence community know about the concentration camps in America. We all know that they are to terminate the resisters of the New World Order under martial law."

Federal Detention Facilities

On August 24, 1939, F.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover met with President Roosevelt to talk about a detention plan for the United States, conceivably to deal with a war-time scenario. This was implemented in March, 1942 for Japanese-Americans in the western United States, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when Roosevelt signed Executive Order #9066, which directed the Army to intern up to 112,000 in concentration camps.

On August 3, 1948, Hoover met with Attorney General J. Howard McGrath to come up with a plan that would enable President Truman to suspend the constitution in the event of a national emergency. The plan was called "Security Portfolio," and if activated, would authorize the FBI to summarily arrest up to 20,000 people and have them placed in national security detention camps without the right of a hearing. It charged the FBI to develop a 'watch list' of the type of people who would be detained, as well as information about their physical appearance, their family, and place of employment.

With the Internal Security Act of 1950, a declaration of war by Congress, an invasion of the U.S. or any its territories, or a domestic insurrection, would enable the President to declare an emergency, and give the Justice Department special powers to "apprehend and by order detain each person as to whom he, the Attorney General or such officer so designated, finds that there is a reasonable ground to believe that such person may engage in, or may conspire with others to engage in acts of espionage or sabotage."

However, Hoover wasn't happy with the law because it did not suspend the Constitution, and it guaranteed the right to a court hearing (habeas corpus), and the FBI continued to secretly establish detention camps, and detailed seizure plans for thousands of people; while Hoover continued to pressure McGrath to officially change his position and allow Hoover to ignore the 1950 law in lieu of the original plan of 1948. On November 25, 1952, the Attorney General gave in to Hoover.

In 1968, during the urban riots, a Congressional committee stated that acts by 'guerrillas' in the United States was compared to being in a 'state of war,' and detention areas were discussed "for the temporary imprisonment of warring guerrillas." Americans were concerned about this talk, and in 1971 Congress passed legislation that repealed the Emergency Detention Act of 1950. However, there was other legislation that provided for the existence of detention centers.

In December, 1975, the Senate held hearings which revealed the continuing plans for internment. The report "Intelligence Activities, Senate Resolution 21" revealed their secret agenda. The hearings revealed documents, memos, and testimony by government informants which painted the picture of a government that wanted to monitor, infiltrate, arrest and incarcerate a segment of Americans.

In 1982, the Reagan Administration initiated the National Security Directive 58 which allowed Robert McFarlane and Oliver North to use the National Security Council to reorganize Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) into an agency that would be equipped to manage the country during a national emergency.

During the Reagan years, a secret program identified as "Operation Rex 84," was initiated by our National Security Council, and authorized the establishment of 23 "emergency detention centers" for the purpose of detaining a large number of "potentially subversive" people. Rex would enable the President to declare a state of emergency, suspend the constitution, and empower the head of FEMA to take control of the internal infrastructure of the country.

The "Rex exercises" simulated an act of civil unrest that culminated in a national crisis that initiated a contingency plan to be able to accommodate the detention of 400,000 people. It was so secretive, that there were reports that special metal security doors were installed on the fifth floor of FEMA's building, and even long-time officials of the Civil Defense Office were denied entry. The cover story for the exercise was to see how our country would handle an influx of refugees resulting from a war in Central America. But in truth– it was about the detainment of American citizens.

Through the Rex 84 program, it had been reported that the following bases were to be used for civilian detention centers: Ft. Huachuca (AZ), Ft. Chaffee (AR), Vandenburg Air Force Base (CA), Eglin Air Force Base (FL), Camp Krome (FL), Ft. Benning (GA), Ft. Indiantown Gap (PA), Camp A.P. Hill (VA) , Ft. Drum (NY), Wickenburg (AZ), Elmendorf Air Force Base (AK), Eilson Air Force Base (AK), Tulelake (CA), El Reno (OK), Tulsa (OK), Florence (AZ), Maxwell Air Force Base (AL), Mill Point (WV), Allenwood (PA), Oakdale (CA), and Ft. McCoy (WI). An additional 20 centers were funded with the 1990-91 defense budget and another 43 were commissioned. An insider has said that there are at least 130 detention facilities in the country.

Even though the directives that brought about Rex 84 have been eliminated, it is believed that the government's plans for these detention centers are now being carried out under the guise of the U.S. Military Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC). Coincidentally, Huachuca, Chaffee, Eglin, and Indiantown Gap were on early BRAC lists. Another 100 bases may be 'closed' or 'realigned' in 2005.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has priority to use any excess space on U.S. Government property. Army documents have indicated plans for "establishing civilian camps on (Army) installations." One such base that was closed was the Seneca Army Depot, near Seneca Falls, in northern New York. It was discovered that major construction was underway, and it was reported by The Spotlight, that it was being prepared for conversion into a massive civilian detention center. The office of Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY) announced that a large part of the base was going to be turned over to the National Guard, who, it was believed, would oversee the facility. At nearby Fort Drum, the location of the Army's 10th Mountain Division (who have been utilized as U.N. 'peacekeepers') was also slated to be used as a detention facility.

In 1997, it was revealed, that since 1989, a Civilian Inmate Labor program was in place at Fort Bliss (TX), Fort Dix (NJ), and Camp Atterbury (IN), where the Army was using incarcerated civilians to perform building maintenance and renovation, landscaping and grounds work, and custodial work. Under the facade of Civilian Labor Camps, it is believed that some detention facilities are being established or renovated.

In Oklahoma City, OK south of the Will Rogers World Airport, built at a cost of $80 million, is the only Federal Transfer Center (FTC) facility in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It can process up to 100,000 people at a time, and it is believed that this will be the central destination for all detainees. It is likely that it will be coordinating their efforts with Federal Detention Centers (FDC) which are located in: Honolulu (HI), Seattle (WA), Los Angeles (CA), Houston (TX), Miami (FL), Oakdale (LA), and Philadelphia (PA).

In the past few years researchers have combed public records, solicited eye witness accounts, and have sought informers in order to piece together the locations of detention centers or 'concentration camps,' which are now reported to be in place all over the country, mostly in sparsely populated areas. One tell-tale sign of these facilities is that they have fences that point inward (as well as barbed wire), which means they are intended to keep people in, not out. They are usually located near a body of fresh water or freshwater source, a railway system, major highway, or a large airport; have guard towers or buildings; have wind socks, maybe a helicopter landing pad; and contain a large number of buildings which would have the capability of holding a large number of people.

Federal "Continuity of Government" Facilities

One of the first publicly revealed underground military facilities was the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center near Colorado Springs, Colorado which was constructed in the early 1960's. A pair of 25-ton blast doors protects an underground complex consisting of a 4-1/2 acre area of chambers and tunnels. It is essentially a self-contained complex with all the support services necessary to maintain the operation. This underground complex contains facilities for Air Warning (providing aerospace warning and control for North America), Missile Warning Center (for attacks against the United States or U.S. forces overseas), and Space Control Center (to detect, track, identify and catalog all man-made objects orbiting the earth).

In addition, during the Cold War, many Federal Relocation Centers were built for the purpose of the "Continuity of Government," to maintain essential government services and emergency functions during any event which affects national security. It has been reported that there is a system of 96 facilities established around Washington, D.C., in what is called the Federal Arc, which are earmarked for critical governmental personnel from specific agencies, and are located in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The administrative nerve center for the whole system is Mount Weather.

Mount Weather

Mount Weather (Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations) is an 561 acre installation located about 50 miles west of Washington, near the town of Bluemont, Virginia. In case of a national emergency, a hand-picked list of civilian and military leaders will be taken to this huge underground city in order to form an emergency government. It is run under the auspices of FEMA as part of the "Continuity of Government Program."

Mount Weather has been owned by the federal government since 1902, when the 94 acre site was purchased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Federal Civil Defense Administration (later known as the Federal Preparedness Agency) began construction in the late 1950's. The facility was constructed inside a mountain made of greenstone and granite, and the entrance is sealed with a huge blast door which is guarded around the clock. There are also a number of buildings on the surface that are part of the complex.

In the mid-1970's, after the existence of the facility became known to the public, Richard Pollack, a reporter for Progressive Magazine, interviewed a number of people about it:

"High-level government sources, speaking under the promise of strict anonymity, told me that each of the Federal departments... represented at Mount Weather is headed by a single person on whom is conferred the rank of a Cabinet-level official. Protocol even demands that subordinates address them as 'Mr. Secretary.' Each of the Mount Weather 'Cabinet members' is apparently appointed by the White House and serves an indefinite term. Many of the 'Secretaries' have held their positions through several administrations."

In the event of emergency, the President or the next in line of succession, would take his place in an area there known as the "White House". But until then, a FEMA official is performing that function as Mount Weather is now performing the duties of a "back-up" United States Government.

Raven Rock

At Raven Rock Mountain, near Waynesboro, PA is the Alternate Joint Communications Center (AJCC) simply known as 'Site R' which was constructed in the early 1950's. It is known as the 'underground Pentagon', and is actually a duplicate of the Pentagon's Command and Control Center. It provides computer services, functions as a disaster recovery site, and oversees over 38 communications systems.

In 2002, in a Department of Defense briefing, in response to a question as to why $74 billion was needed to be allocated for upgrades to the facility for power, cooling, and staff accommodation, it was revealed that "...it fits into the overall Continuity of Government plans."

Greenbrier Facility

On Sunday, May 31, 1992, an article by Ted Gup in the Washington Post revealed that this secret 112,000 square foot facility was located under and beside the Greenbrier Resort Hotel, which is located in White Sulpher Springs in West Virginia, about 250 miles from Washington D.C.

Its purpose was to house the Congress in the event of a nuclear attack. It has an area for the Senate, House, and a large hall for joint sessions. The Greenbrier website indicates that in the early 1960's the "top secret relocation center for the U.S. Congress" was constructed. Supposedly deactivated, there are actually public tours of the "former government relocation facility".

Mount Pony

Mount Pony, near Culpeper, Virginia about 70 miles southwest of Washington, is a 20 acre site which contains a large underground facility. It was built in 1969 as a "Continuity of Government" facility and operated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, where 7 computers became the central point for all American electronic fund transfers.

Until 1988, it stored several billion dollars of currency that would be used "to replenish currency supplies east of the Mississippi" and reactivate the economy after a nuclear attack, including a large quantity of $2 bills. It was decommissioned in July, 1992, and in 1997, Congress approved its transfer to the Library of Congress who is using use the installation to protect its collection of 150,000 movies and recordings.

Conclusion: Escaping From the Matrix

Even though the Illuminati ceased to exist as an organization in the 1790's, the organization's leaders kept the conspiracy alive, and continued working towards their goal of a one world Socialist government [under elite control]. Since then, as you have read, various organizations have been established to perpetuate these goals, but the term 'Illuminati' continues to be used as the name for the engineers of this Master Conspiracy.

Their ultimate goal is for the American citizen [and everyone else] to eventually be totally dependent upon the government for their security, food, electricity, heat, clothing, and other necessities. Once that potential exists, one-world government is right around the corner.

It would be impossible to fully explore the complex structure of deceit that has been put into place. However, after looking at many pieces of this puzzle, enough have been put together so that we can now step back and get a panoramic view. Our way of life is going to be drastically changed because of the tyranny of a government out of [our] control. How did this happen -- right under our noses?

In the 1999 Warner Brothers movie The Matrix, a young man named Neo discovers that the world he [thinks he] lives in is nothing more than a computer simulation that is being fed into his brain as his body rests in a pod in the "real world", providing the energy that sustains the [parasitic] machines that actually run the world. Morpheus, the leader of the resistance, tells Neo:

"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth."

Applying this allegory to our current situation, we find [ourselves in] a system of 'Command and Control' that has been able to so dominate and overwhelm us that we have been completely deceived into believing a lie. In the movie, Neo is unplugged from the Matrix, enabling him to see the real world. It is my hope, that with the knowledge you gain from reading this book, you will be 'unplugged' from the Matrix, and begin to see for yourself that things aren't what they seem. That the world you thought you were living in -- doesn't really exist.
