David Icke at Oxford:
“If one person is standing up and saying something,
it doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Just because everybody seems to be saying the same thing
doesn’t mean it is true.
There was a time, when, if I would have stood here
centuries ago and said the earth is round?
‘The guy’s a nut!’ …
If you want to suppress someone’s sense of what’s possible
all you need to do overwhelmingly is to suppress the information
they receive about what is possible. …
So: ‘The earth’s not flat, it’s a sphere.’ (level of information)
‘You’re mad! …’
Introduce more information:
law of gravity.
Ahhhh, the apparently ridiculous now becomes possible.
The difference between the two:
the level of information.
So he who controls information
controls our sense of possibility.”
“An error does not become truth
by reason of multiplied propagation,
nor does truth become error
because nobody sees it.”

“When I say it’s going to be worse than the Great Depression, we call this the Greatest Depression. And by the way, to be using 1930’s models to get us out of this is really stupid. Back then, when we first crashed, most people didn’t own homes. There was no such thing as a home equity loan. And back then, people didn’t have credit cards. The consumer wasn’t 14 trillion dollars in debt. We had a manufacturing base that built the world out of the Great Depression, following World War II. We no longer have that.
So now, people are at their ends. They’re stressed out. America is the most depressed nation, already. They take more anti-depressent drugs than anybody. Plus the other kind of drugs that they’re taking. You’re going to see crime levels…. It’s going to be very violent in America. …
When people lose everything, and they have nothing to lose, they lose it. You’re going to see ‘off with their heads.’ There’s going to be another revolution in this country.”

BAA, which runs Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports, said the number of tonnes of air cargo declined by 15.9pc in January, on top of a 15.1pc fall in December. The airport operator said cargo volumes are dropping at all UK airports as a “direct result of the global economic downturn”. It said freight volumes in the whole of 2008 were down 1.4pc compared to 2007, largely due the sustained drop at the end of the year.

The ad, called “Alec in Huluwood” starts with the star [Alec Baldwin] stepping into the Hollywood sign and taking an elevator below to what appears to be an underground laboratory. ” You know they say TV will rot your brain. “, Baldwin says on the ride down. ” That’s absurd. TV only softens the brain like a ripe banana. To take it all the way we’ve created Hulu. “
He goes on to explain that Hulu takes over where TV leaves off by providing ” cerebral gelatinizing shows “. And, there’s nothing we can do to stop it -” what are you going to do turn off your TV and your computer? “
After Baldwin makes a reference to eating brains a tentacle slides out of his jacket slicks his hair and straightens his tie as he says “cause, we’re aliens and that’s how we roll“. Then an announcer gives the tag line ” Hulu, an evil plot to destroy the world. Enjoy.” (source)

Alex Jones: The mantle is being passed. The true Governor of North America is Jay Rockefeller
From: Immigration Control
Now for some statements. One is by David Rockefeller, a prominent banker, a former chairman of the board of the CFR [Council of Foreign Relations – ed.], and its current honorary chairman. In his autobiography Memoirs, page 405 [copyright 2002, at Amazon – ed.], Rockefeller said,
“Some even believe we [Rockefellers] are a part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United states, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I’m proud of it.”

I am often guilty of using the term “freedom-loving Americans.” But I think the question now needs to be asked, Do Americans really cherish freedom anymore? I believe an argument could be made that not many do. In fact, I doubt that most Americans today remotely understand what freedom–as envisioned by our Founding Fathers–even is.
Freedom is more than not being in prison (although America incarcerates more people than any nation on earth). Freedom is more than driving a car, or taking a vacation, or being able to choose your place of residence, or attending a sporting event. People in totalitarian regimes have, for the most part, been able to do the equivalent of all that.
The freedoms upon which America was founded are outlined in our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. The first principle of freedom is that freedom is a gift of Almighty God. As God is the Giver of life, He is also the Grantor of liberty. This was plainly stated by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness . . .”
Ask the average American today, Where do our rights come from? Most will look at you funny and then blurt out, “From government.” And, of course, this is evidently the same opinion held by most of today’s politicians. To them, freedom is whatever civil government says it is. Yes, I am saying it: most politicians have a God-complex. And, unfortunately, it seems that most Americans today are willing to go along with this calamitous charade.
Jefferson and the rest of America’s founders, however, rightly understood that the only legitimate purpose of government was “to secure these rights.” The only legitimate purpose of civil government is to secure or protect the freedoms and liberties that have been given to man by our Creator. …
And the people who should be more “jealous over” their liberties than anyone–born-again Christians–are among the first to gladly relinquish their freedom. …
And one would think that our veterans–of all people–would be among the first to jealously guard freedom. How, then, can former and retired military personnel sit back and allow the government they once proudly served to lie to them, renege on promises, withhold medical care, abandon their friends and family members still missing in action, and not utter a word of protest? How can they allow their comrades-in-arms to sleep on the streets outside VA clinics? While they were willing to travel halfway around the world–and risk life and limb–to defend America against foreign enemies, many will sit back right here at home and complacently watch while these glorified miscreants–known as politicians–systematically strip this nation of the very freedoms and liberties they swore to defend. Did they not take an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC?

Why is Henry Paulson trying to conceal the true origin of the crisis? Because he works for the Financial Elite (the Brotherhood of Darkness) that created the problem. How did they create the problem? Wall Street banks, and other BOD financial institutions, wrote trillions of dollars of derivative contracts that defaulted, and left thousands of foreign and domestic banks without sufficient financial reserves to continue operating. What are derivative contracts? They are unfunded insurance policies that guarantee the value of financial vehicles: i.e. Collateralized Debt Obligations (bundled home mortgages-CDOs), Asset Backed Securities (bundled student loans, credit card loans, and auto loans-ABS) and Structured Investment Vehicles (SIVs). The Financial Elite sold thousands of derivative contracts valued at between $500 trillion and $1 quadrillion to other financial institutions, but didn’t maintain the financial reserves needed to redeem the financial vehicles if they defaulted. Was that stupidity, or something far more sinister? [7]
Henry Paulson is one of the primary architects of the problem because he could have intervened in 2007, and stopped the home foreclosures, but he didn’t. Why? Because the Financial Elite sent Henry Paulson to Washington, D.C., to carry out their agenda, and he has served them well.
Henry Paulson worked for Goldman Sachs for twenty-two years, from 1974-2006, and helped the investment bank bundle thousands of subprime and Alt A mortgages into Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) that were sold to unsuspecting clients throughout the world. [8] In 2004 Henry Paulson led a contingent of bankers to Washington, D.C., and tried to convince the Securities and Exchange Commission that financial institutions shouldn’t be required to maintain the monetary reserves needed to cover their derivative contracts. Henry Paulson and his Wall Street friends succeeded, and are directly responsible for the derivative-driven economic collapse that is taking place today. [9]
Henry Paulson could have used part of the $700 billion TARP funds he got from Congress to purchase most of the defective home mortgages that are causing the current economic collapse, or he could have backed Sheila Bair’s effort (the FDIC program) to keep people in their homes, but Paulson opposed both programs. [10]
Henry Paulson was richly rewarded for his services. During his tenure at Goldman Sachs, he amassed a personal fortune that is estimated to be $800 million, and he was sent to Washington, D.C., in 2006 to preside over the transfer of trillions of taxpayer dollars to the Wall Street banks and the Financial Elite. [11]
By the end of November 2008, Henry Paulson (CFR-BB), and FED Chairman Ben Bernake (BB), had loaned, pledged, or given over $7.4 trillion to the Financial Elite that rules the world. The Federal Reserve Board chronicled their 2008 expenditures.

My November 2008 Radio Liberty letter concluded with this statement:
“Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke aren’t trying to stop the financial meltdown because they need a legitimate excuse to transfer the wealth of the American people to the Financial Elite.”
The statement is true, but it doesn’t address the cause of the current problem, or identify the “Financial Elite” (Brotherhood of Darkness – BOD).
Who are they?
I believe they are the powerful men who direct the policies of the Trilateral Commission (TC), the Bilderbergers (BB), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Group of Thirty (GRP 30).
What is their objective?
They want to destroy the financial stability of our nation, impoverish the American people, undermine Christianity, and install an authoritarian world government. [5]
From: New American
What began early last year as a “credit crunch” and an “economic downturn” is now being characterized as a “long, severe recession.” Once upon a time, such a crisis was known as a “depression” before Americans became squeamish about such stark language.
As with our reluctant semantic retreat from “credit crunch” to “recession,” the reality of another Great Depression will probably not be acknowledged until years after the fact. But America and the rest of the modern world, by doggedly pursuing the same mistaken policies of the 1920s and ’30s, have made a full-blown depression — lasting years, not months, and featuring catastrophic failures in entire economic sectors along with chronic double-digit unemployment and monetary malaise — all but inevitable. In fact, the parallels between the run-up to the Great Depression and today’s economic havoc are stunning.
The Roaring ’20s, ’80s, and ’90s
By 1929, the United States — and most of the rest of the industrial world — had been on a nine-year joy ride known as the “Roaring Twenties.” It was an age of unparalleled new technology — the heyday of the silent film era and the Model T Ford, and the beginning of radio and commercial air service, among many other modern marvels. The first American generation to consecrate itself to mass entertainment came of age in the Twenties. It was the first recognizably modern decade, and the future, to the flappers, barnstormers, and other bons vivants that characterized the age, looked very bright indeed. Accordingly, it was also an age of bold enterprises — of the beginning of mass production and of skyscraper construction. For the first time ever, Americans had enough extra money to turn sports into a lucrative industry. From the vantage point of the mid-Twenties, the party was never going to end.
Like the Roaring Twenties, the long boom from approximately 1982 to 2000 was characterized by boundless optimism and an explosion of new technology. New forms of mass entertainment — MTV, cable television, video games, and the Internet — proliferated, turning the United States of America into the world’s entertainment capital. Men with big ideas — the leveraged-buyout moguls of the ’80s and the high-tech wizards of the ’90s chief among them — had no trouble finding capital to leverage their grandiose ambitions. Like the Twenties, the last two decades of the 20th century were a time of larger-than-life colossi like Donald Trump, Warren Buffett, and numerous flamboyant entertainers, from rock stars and hectomillionaire athletes to the instant celebrities of reality TV and American Idol. Risk and chutzpah were everywhere rewarded and nowhere penalized, or so it seemed. Old-school caution and frugality were cast to the wind; the world belonged to the extravagant, the glitzy, and the fully leveraged.
But behind these two parallel utopias, separated by more than six decades, lay a common reality that none but a very few astute, well-connected, or economically well-schooled were able to perceive: an artificial economic expansion created by the issuance of vast amounts of paper money. The great episodes of monetary expansion of the ’20s, ’80s, and ’90s resulted from the magic of central banking — in America’s case, of the Federal Reserve’s ability to create new debt by lowering interest rates far below any rational market pricing. This resulted in years of easy credit, abundant borrowing, and an illusion of far greater prosperity and growth rates than actually existed. The result was cultural and societal no less than economic: because so few Americans, then or more recently, understood how the banking and Federal Reserve System works, the illusion of unnatural prosperity encouraged waste, leisure, and the notion of American invincibility.
In both cases, the party came to a calamitous end. But despite what we assume nowadays, few in the late fall of 1929 — even after the storied stock market meltdown — imagined that more than a decade of economic hardship lay ahead. Indeed, had the federal government, and the Federal Reserve in particular, allowed the crisis to run its course, the American economy during the 1930s would have been far different, probably recovering after a severe recession at the beginning of the decade helped restore sanity to the markets.

46 Of 50 States Could File Bankruptcy In 2009-2010
“It’s very possible you’ll see the end of the United States as we know it. If the Fed doesn’t bailout the States when their cash dries up and the banks don’t loan them money, then our States will be left in financial ruin. This would be a tragic and unprecedented event never experienced in the United States.”
An all too familiar refrain. California is getting the highest visibility. A state run by a nit wit governor who has continued to rubber stamp the mass fleecing of taxpayers year after year by the Democrat controlled state legislature. Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka and so forth, is claiming that Republican governors are begging for the gang rape “economic stimulus package.” Actually, governors of both parties want their share of the booty, some $176 BILLION dollars that doesn’t exist:
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who is widely viewed as a potential presidential contender in 2012, said governors have little choice but to accept the relief being offered. “States have to balance their budgets,” he said. “So if we’re going to go down this path, we are entitled to ask for our share of the money.”
They’re all lining up, including Saint Sarah Palin. I got beat up from Sarah fans during the pretend election because I would never vote for her based on her past record as a governor, her phony rhetoric about being a reformer and the poor judgment she displayed regarding her former brother-in-law. Palin signed bloated budgets and now she’s lined up with her hands out for you to pay for her state’s shortfall under her stewardship:
“We in Alaska all know Alaska has a fiscal disaster waiting to happen. If the oil production decline rate steepens and oil prices drop, the state’s rosy financial situation could turn bleak, which could be a problem with a bloated state budget.”
This woman has never met an earmark she didn’t love. Palin attended the Alfalfa Dinner last weekend in Washington, DC. This ‘closed club’ of 200 of Washington’s “elites” was established in 1913. No press allowed. Saint Sarah was introduced to the attendees by none other than Vernon Jordan. Remember him? He was the adulterer-in-chief’s legal fixer when he dropped his drawers for Monica Lewinsky. Jordan also introduced Slick Willy to world “leaders” at the Bilderberger conference in 1991. That’s when the fix was in to install a little known governor who raped a woman named Juanita Broaddrick and was famous for his sexual escapades and cocaine use. I have some advice for Palin: Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. However, as she is a player and not some neophyte in the world of politics, Palin has her own agenda. She also has a financial mess in her own state.
Where is this $176 BILLION dollars supposed to come from? Not the people’s treasury. It’s now over drawn $10.6 TRILLION dollars with the interest compounding faster than a speeding bullet and another $72 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt for programs like social security, Medicare the these endless “wars” against terrorism.
Are all these governors stupid? Have they never heard of the ‘national debt’? Where do they think this “money” will come from? This worthless fiat currency will have to be borrowed by CON-gress from the “FED.” They will create more debt to reward state legislatures for incompetence and they want you, me, our children and grand children to hand over every penny we make to fund this lunacy. It will turn into nothing more than another massive “income” tax hike through the back door.
But, are the states really broke?
At least ten years ago, a man named Walter Burien began exposing something called a CAFR: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Walter managed to get on a SF radio show hosted by my friend, Geoff Metcalf. It was a real eye opener. Try as we all did, not one newspaper in the State of California would expose the truth of how the taxpayers were being fleeced. Nor would 99% of the radio stations statewide. I guess they all love being flogged every April 15th to reward the thieves in the state house.
I’ve written about this issue before and perhaps now, with the states crying poor, the citizens of the 50 states will do what I did years ago: I went to the Comptroller’s Office in downtown Sacramento and got a copy of the CAFR. Oh, they didn’t want to give it to me, but I whipped out my press credentials and after some muss and fuss, I obtained a copy. I am not an accountant so a lot of that tome was foreign to me. However, thanks to Walter and Gerald Klatt, even someone like me can understand this complicated shell game:

From: Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Washington D.C. (January 26, 2009) – Congressman Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement addressing news reports that President Obama and advisors are considering nationalizing parts of the U.S. banking system. In the statement, Kucinich urges Congress not to nationalize banks, but to place the Federal Reserve under the Treasury Department.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r_-QRKyu6g]
“At a time when millions of Americans are losing jobs, homes, and pensions, our government is prepared to give another trillion to the banks. We are ready to compound the moral hazard by nationalizing banks, which are allegedly profit-making entities.
“This is anti-democratic. Instead of nationalizing banks, we should nationalize the money system by placing the Federal Reserve under the U.S. Treasury, end the fractional reserve system and stop banks from lending credit into circulation. Then instead of borrowing money from the banks and creating debt, government can spend the money into circulation to rebuild and restore America with money for jobs housing, healthcare and education I will soon be introducing legislation to accomplish this.
“Banking is not a proper function of the government, but oversight is. The Treasury Department should not be outsourcing to the Fed its oversight responsibilities. The Fed, which failed miserably to oversee the banks, should be put under Treasury instead.
“Its time for the government to operate in the public interest, not in the interest of private banks. Its time to stop bailing out banks and begin building up America.”
