on his July 25, 2001 Show
“The point is, if any terrorism comes, it’s from this government, and if there was an outside threat like a “bin Laden” – who was a known CIA asset in the 80’s running the Mujahideen war, and whose family builds all the military bases over in Saudi Arabia right now, and sits on the board of Iridium Satellite. He’s the boogeyman they need in this Orwellian phony system.”
“I want the White House numbers up there now. A big part of this solution after you research government sponsored terrorism and check out what I’m saying is true, call the White House and tell them ‘we know that the government is planning terrorism, we know Oklahoma City and World Trade Center was [government sponsored domestic] terrorism. We know the Joint Chiefs of Staff wanted to blow up airliners, Baltimore Sun; if you do it, were gonna blame you, because we know who’s up to it. Or if you let some terrorist group do it, like the World Trade Center, we know who to blame.”

Betty Friedan: ‘Mommy’
Was A Commie
Feminism As Classic ‘Popular Front’
By Henry Makow, PhD
7-27-3
“Comrades, you will remember the ancient tale of the capture of Troy … The attacking army was unable to achieve victory until, with the aid of the famous Trojan Horse, it managed to penetrate to the very heart of the enemy camp.”
–George Dimitrov, Comintern General Secretary, August, 1935.
Betty Friedan, the “founder of modern feminism” pretended to be a typical 1950’s American mother who had a “revelation” that women like her were exploited and should seek independence and self-fulfillment in career.
What Friedan (nee: Betty Naomi Goldstein) didn’t say is that she had been a Communist propagandist since her student days at Smith College (1938-1942) and that the destruction of the family has always been central to the Communist plan for world government. See “The Communist Manifesto” (1848). http://www.fathersforlife.org/cm.htm
Friedan dropped out of grad school to become a reporter for a Communist news service. From 1946 -1952 she worked for the newspaper of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, (UE) “the largest Communist-led institution of any kind in the United States.” In 1947, Congress targeted the UE as a Communist front and its membership began a steady decline.
Daniel Horowitz, a History Professor at Smith with impeccable Liberal and Feminist credentials documents all this in his book, Betty Friedan and the Making of the Feminine Mystique: The American Left, the Cold War and Modern Feminism (University of Massachusetts Press 1999). Horowitz cites a union member who described how a Communist minority “seized control of the UE national office, the executive board, the paid-staff, the union newspaper and some district councils and locals.”
Betty Frieden doesn’t want anyone to know her radical antecedents. Throughout her career, she said she had no interest in the condition of women before her “revelation.” She refused to cooperate with Professor Horowitz and accused him of “Red-baiting.”
Why? Because her book “The Feminist Mystique” (1963) would not have sold over five million copies if her subversive background were known. Communists operate by subterfuge — pretending to be just like us. This is the “Popular Front” strategy that consisted of starting idealistic movements in order to ensnare well-meaning people, usually students, workers, women, artists or intellectuals. The membership was ignorant that their organization was funded and controlled by people with a totally different agenda.

It’s OK To Be A Woman
By Henry Makow PhD
4-2-8
“In Spring, a young man’s thoughts turn to love” and so do a young woman’s.
Like pretty daffodils poking their heads above matted leaves, attractive young women are suddenly in evidence on neighborhood streets. They are usually alone and strike me as confused. They want male approval but are told men are evil. Their instincts say get married and have children but society tells them families are oppressive: “Get a career instead.”
If I could talk to these young women, I would say this:
You have been betrayed by society. Feminism, a lesbian ideology which denies gender differences, is poison for women. It has destroyed the things you most want and need, namely love, courtship and marriage.
Young men no longer think in terms of winning your friendship and love. They no longer need to marry or even commit to get sex. If you don’t go to bed, another girl will. No more dates. No more flowers. No more dinners,dances and movies. It’s booze, bed and “Good Bye.”
Women’s rights indeed!
Feminism is not a spontaneous grass roots social phenomena. It is top-down elite social engineering- i.e. behavior modification by the mass media, government and the education system. It was wholly sponsored by the central bankers in order to make women have careers instead of families.
Film producer, the late Aaron Russo was told this by the Rockefellers. Watch this video.
[googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1263677258215075609]
The purpose is to undermine the family as the basic social institution so people will be more dependent on government and corporations. It is part of a larger plan to bring in a veiled totalitarian world government by dynamiting the four legs of our human identity: race, religion, nation and family. The War on Terror and 9-11 are other aspects of this elite agenda.

Fabled Enemies: Spy Thriller Exposes Vast Intelligence Plot Behind 9/11
Depth of evidence presented in brand new 9/11 truth film buries official story for good
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Friday, August 29, 2008
Fabled Enemies is a departure from every other 9/11 truth film released so far. It comes off as more of a spy thriller than a mere conspiracy romp. With tight editing, slick presentation, and sublimely complimentary backing music, the documentary draws the viewer in for an eminently watchable experience.
The film begins by revealing how in the very hours after 9/11, Osama bin Laden’s conviction of guilt in the court of public opinion was assured simply by constant repetition in the news media, and how the fairytale of 19 hijackers with box cutters began to unravel.
The film does not try to invent an alternative scenario behind what really happened on 9/11, it expertly demolishes the official version by concentrating on how Bin Laden’s network was protected every step of the way by higher-ups and the hijackers issued visas while good FBI agents like Robert Wright attempted to penetrate the wider plot but were blocked from doing so.
The treatment of Anthony Shaffer, who attempted to inform the 9/11 Commission about Able Danger, an intelligence program that identified the hijackers before 9/11, highlights precisely why the Commission was a set-up from the very beginning. Shaffer and his team were gagged and slandered and the vital information they had passed on was ignored and buried.

For the financial crisis that has wiped out trillions in wealth, many have felt the lash of public outrage.
Fannie and Freddie. The idiot-bankers. The AIG bonus babies. The Bush Republicans and Barney Frank Democrats who bullied banks into making mortgages to minorities who could not afford the houses they were moving into.
But the Big Kahuna has escaped.
The Federal Reserve.
“(T)he very people who devised the policies that produced the mess are now posing as the wise public servants who will show us the way out,” writes Thomas Woods in “Meltdown.”
Already in its sixth week on the New York Times best-seller list, this eminently readable book traces the Fed’s role in every financial crisis since this creature was spawned on Jekyl Island in 1913.
The “forgotten depression” of 1920-21 was caused by a huge increase in the money supply for President Wilson’s war. When the Fed started to tighten at war’s end, production fell 20 percent from mid-1920 to mid-1921, far more than today.
Why did we not read about that depression?
Because the much-maligned Warren Harding refused to intervene. He let businesses and banks fail and prices fall. Hence, the fever quickly broke, and we were off into “the Roaring Twenties.”
But, the Fed reverted, expanding the money supply by 55 percent, an average of 7.3 percent a year, not through an expansion of the currency, but through loans to businesses.
Thus, when the Fed tightened in the overheated economy, the Crash came, as the stock market bubble the Fed had created burst.
Herbert Hoover, contrary to the myth that he was a small-government conservative, renounced laissez-faire, raised taxes, launched public works projects, extended emergency loans to failing businesses and lent money to the states for relief programs.
Hoover did what Obama is doing.
Indeed, in 1932, FDR lacerated Hoover for having presided over the “greatest spending administration in peacetime in all of history.” His running mate, John Nance Garner, accused Hoover of “leading the country down the path to socialism.” And “Cactus Jack” was right.

Thanks to a concerned Missouri state policeman, a nationally syndicated radio talk show host stated that he was alerted last week to a secret Missouri state police report that categorized supporters of Congressman Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and myself as “‘militia’ influenced terrorists.” The report, he said, “instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.”
Ignoring the threat of Muslim terrorists, the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report focuses on the so-called “militia movement” and “conflates it with supporters of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, the so-called patriot movement and other political activist organizations opposed to the North American Union and the New World Order.”
This report is not original, of course. During the Clinton administration, a Phoenix Federal Bureau of Investigation and Joint Terrorism Task Force explicitly designated “defenders” of the Constitution as “right-wing extremists.” However, the MIAC report significantly expands on earlier documents and is the first known document to actually name names.
Ever see “Mr. Smith (Jimmy Stewart) Goes to Washington?” Ron, still, very much reminds me of Jimmy’s radical stand before Congress; though, he’s mellowed considerably. But I have to put in a disclaimer here.
Warning: this is trash TV. Chain-smoking-the-drug-nicotene ‘host,’ Morton Downey, Jr. goes so far as almost spitting at Ron at one point, because Ron Paul wants drugs to be constitutionally controlled by the states, just like alcohol and tobacco. And the videographer takes a cheap shot in response.
People sure do love to hate. And that’s how they marketed the show. Imagine Americans shouting at their TVs—at Ron Paul! Yikes!!
But I think it’s great to see Ron’s courage under fire 21 years ago. And millions of Americans got to hear for the first time that Uncle Sam is a gargantuan drug dealer. The ‘War on Drugs’ is mainly a war on the CIA’s competition. This is largely how they fund their black-ops projects that is in part destroying the USA and our reputation worldwide.
Hmmm. Wonder why the mainstream media never has reports this. It’s not just heroin. America’s getting jacked!

Vice-President had his own military hit squad that carried out executions abroad
Award-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh dropped another bombshell this week when he revealed that former Vice-President Dick Cheney had his own SS-style political assassination unit that reported directly to him.
Hersh told a University of Minnesota audience on Tuesday, “After 9/11, I haven’t written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven’t been called on it yet.”
Hersh then went on to describe how the Joint Special Operations Command was an executive assassination unit that carried out political`assassinations abroad. “It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently,” he explained. “They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. … Congress has no oversight of it.”
The revelation that Cheney had his own private assassination unit is not too far removed from Hitler’s notorious SA (Sturmabteilung), the much feared para-military wing of the Nazi party who were used to beat, torture and kill political opponents of the Nazi party in 1930’s Germany and the Waffen SS, who were later used in the war to carry out executions and war crimes.
The SA were later targeted by Hitler during the Night of the Long Knives, a brutal purge to eliminate political adversaries both inside and outside of the Nazi party. Hundreds of people were executed in cold blood by the Gestapo and the SS.
Tellingly, German courts and cabinet quickly swept aside centuries of legal prohibition against extra-judicial killings to demonstrate their loyalty to Hitler. The Waffen SS was deemed beyond prosecution despite it blatantly being involved in egregious and ongoing war crimes, as well as domestic assassinations.
The Joint Special Operations Command, Cheney’s assassination unit, is also described as an area of ‘extra-legal’ operations.
“It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on,” Hersh stated. “Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.”
And it’s still going on. None of Obama’s reversals of Bush executive orders say anything about abolishing the Joint Special Operations Command. Indeed, the specialist unit is an integral part of Obama’s vastly expanded bombing raids and other incursions in Pakistan.

Since 1988, the year after Prozac was approved for adult use, there have been 46 incidents of school violence. Of these: 18 were reported to be taking psychiatric drugs or withdrawing from them at the time; 18 kids, age 11 to 19, killed 47 people and wounded 104; 9 were on antidepressants; 5 on stimulants Ritalin or Dexedrine; 1 was taking a tranquilizer; and 3 others took unspecific psychiatric drugs.
How widespread is the drugging of our children by a profession that claims they are only helping? The Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reported a 500 percent increase between 1987 and 2002 of children age 18 years and younger. 500%!
Reports of 930 acts of violence over an eight year period were caused by individuals of all ages shown to be on SSRI antidepressants. Does this sound alarming to anyone?
FDA warning labels are now mandatory on such drugs. Why then do we as a people continue to allow these drugs to exist? According to Harvard Medical School report, “people feel like jumping out of their skins… make people suicidal of homicidal.”.
From: The Rutherford Institute
During his two terms in office, George W. Bush stepped outside the boundaries of the Constitution and assembled an amazing toolbox of powers that greatly increased the authority of the Executive branch and the reach of the federal government.
Bush expanded presidential power to, among other things, allow government agents to secretly open the private mail of American citizens; authorize government agents to secretly, and illegally, listen in on the phone calls of American citizens and read our e-mails; assume control of the federal government following a “catastrophic event”; and declare martial law.
Thus, the groundwork was laid for an imperial presidency and a potentially totalitarian government–a state of affairs that has not ended with Barack Obama’s ascension to the Oval Office…
All that is needed is another threat to national security–a so-called “catastrophic event.” Under the Bush administration, the danger was terrorism. Under the Obama administration, the economy is being posed as the greatest threat to national security.
This danger was made clear in a U.S. Army War College report issued last fall. As Hedges reports, “The military must be prepared, the document warned, for a ‘violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States,’ which could be provoked by ‘unforeseen economic collapse,’ ‘purposeful domestic resistance,’ ‘pervasive public health emergencies’ or ‘loss of functioning political and legal order.’ The ‘widespread civil violence,’ the document said, ‘would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security.'”
What does all this mean for you and me, the average citizen? When and if martial law is declared, freedom, as we have known it, will be obsolete. And don’t expect much in the way of warning or help from the corporate media. As the war in Iraq showed, they are all too willing to be co-opted by the military for the sake of access and ratings. And there will be many Americans who won’t know what’s happening. They’ll be too busy watching the latest entertainment spectacle and trying to guess the next American Idol.
Obama’s “Change” is code for the Communist NWO. This is what is meant by “Progressive.” Leftists who want to “change the world” are not told it is going to be much worse. They are destroying the society that gave them freedom and prosperity; they are “change agents” for poverty and dictatorship.

Americans can’t expect to avoid destruction as long as they continue to embrace Communism in all its myriad disguises.
Symptomatic of the problem is a new four hr. 17 min biopic of Soviet Comintern agent and terrorist Che Guevara. Rather than make movies about genuine American heroes, Hollywood is celebrating people dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilization.
Movie critic Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle cannot understand why Director Steven Soderbergh made the movie:
“If Soderbergh made as idol-worshiping an epic about George Washington or Abraham Lincoln – actual heroes with tangible, positive legacies – people would gag at the naive treatment.. Instead of making the case for Guevara as a hero, Soderbergh just assumes we all agree. The movie is the communist guerrilla version of the Stations of the Cross, in which we see Guevara at various stages, enduring various hardships. The invitation is not to think but to admire, and maybe to worship.”
This is not the first time Hollywood has presented this ruthless killer as a saint. In 1969, Omar Sharif played “the most controversial rebel of our time” with Jack Palance as Castro. Then, there was “The Motorcycle Diaries” in 2004 and at least a half-dozen made-for-TV films.
Communists always portray their demented drive for world domination in terms of serving the people. Surprisingly, many suckers swallow this bait. But, why do these dupes include the US corporate media establishment?
WHY THE MEDIA (AND EDUCATION) SOFT PEDDLE COMMUNISM
The US mass media (and most corporations) are controlled by the central banking cartel, i.e. the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers etc. These are the same people who sponsored Communism.
The guiding principle behind world events is their plan to translate their monopoly over government credit into a world monopoly of power, business, culture and religion.
These bankers use a Hegelian dialectic to achieve their end. They created both Capitalism and Communism as thesis and antithesis. Their aim is a synthesis, combining the political and cultural tyranny of Communism with the appearance of Capitalist free markets. China or even Cuba may be the end model for the New World Order.
In 1953, Ford Foundation President, H. Rowan Gaither told Congressional Investigator Norman Dodd that his instructions were to use “our grant-making power so to alter our life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.”
This is why the Communist Party term “political correctness” has become part of our lexicon. Why the elite media and foundations promote feminism, homosexuality, pornography and promiscuity to destabilize society. Why they sponsor “diversity” to undermine American identity. Why the education system is devoted to Leftist indoctrination; and conservatives have been driven out. Why the culture industries are dedicated to sex, violence, alienation, deviance and the occult. We’ll never know what we have missed in terms of cultural works that boost our sense of who we are and where we should be going.
Eustace Mullins relates this story: Early in his career, a NY publisher (who are all banker controlled) told his agent that it’s too bad Mullins had decided to go against them. Look at the success they arranged for such “high school” talents as Hemingway, Steinbeck and Faulkner. Unfortunately, Mullins would be consigned to the wilderness.
Rupert Murdoch, whose media operations are subsidized by the Rothschilds, said last week, “We are in the midst of a phase of history in which nations will be redefined and their futures fundamentally altered.”
Such anecdotes confirm that we are being dispossessed and prepared for servitude. Our culture, most of our assumptions about the world, are controlled by the central bankers.
GUEVARA, CASTRO AND THE CUBAN REVOLUTION
Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba only because of the covert help of New World orderlies in the US State Dept. and mass media. They cut off arm sales to Batista while at the same time allowing Castro to be supplied, partly by Russian submarines. This told the Cuban military which way the wind was blowing and they quietly defected.

Back on December 18, 2006, I wrote a column on Joseph Biden’s decision to once again run for president. Biden has now been tapped as Marxist Barack Hussein Obama’s choice for vice-president. One columnist wrote this was akin to a Watergate suicide. Biden was dropped like a hot potato by the DNC in 1998 when he ran for president because Biden was exposed as a liar and cheat, although now it seems to be a qualifier for both the Democrat and Republican parties. I’m not a Republican and I would never vote a despicable person like Juan McCain. Like Obama, Biden plagiarized someone else’s speech. Biden also plagiarized in law school; NY Times article back in 1987.
Some boob tube pundits have remarked that Joseph Biden is a “cultural Catholic.” A what? There is no such thing as a cultural Catholic. You either follow Church doctrine or you’re a heretic. Biden believes Roe v Wade should stand, but believes life begins at conception. So, while Biden believes a baby is a human life at conception, he believes it’s okay that nine men on the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it’s legal to kill that human life. Biden believes that sodomite and lesbian marriages are inevitable, but doesn’t support them. However, he is considered to be pro sexual deviants and their causes. (Voted yes to expand unconstitutional hate crime laws to ‘sexual orientation.’) The Catholic Church forbids abortion and the abomination of sodomy and lesbian sex. Clearly, while professing to be a ‘practicing Catholic,’ Biden has cherry picked which of God’s laws and the Church he will uphold. […]
In the interview cited above, Biden also makes this statement which I pointed out in my December 18, 2006, column cited above: “Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the US Senate.” It’s also in his official bio here: “Joe Biden has represented the state of Delaware in the United States Senate since 1972, when he was elected at the age of twenty-nine.”
Wait one minute. Art. 1, Sec. 3, says: “No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years…..” The fraudulent ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment did not change the age requirement in the U.S. Constitution. How did he get “elected” to office when he clearly did not meet the age requirement? In his own words, Biden says he was elected at age 29, not 30.
Joseph Biden is also a traitor. I don’t use that word lightly, but Biden has clearly shown by his own words and actions over the decades that he is for a one world government: a one world banking system, one world religion (new age), one military force, world regional government. Joseph Biden by his own words and actions has been a participant in bringing these united States of America into a one world order and for that, he is a traitor:
click to enlarge
His full speech is here [entitled: On the Threshold of the New World Order: The Wilsonian Vision and American Foreign Policy in the 1990s and beyond – ed.] and every American should read Biden’s run off his mouth about the “military dimension of America’s new world order agenda.” How he goes on about how we must look to the ‘vision’ of Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman in laying the groundwork for a new world order and “complete the task.” Wilson signed the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act, December 23, 1913. As for Truman, I believe this sums it up: “When Franklin Roosevelt died during the closing days of WWII, it fell to Truman to end the war and formulate policies for the new world order.” The Smithsonian Treasury: The Presidents (1991), pg 72

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.”

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.
