We Are EMR Guinea Pigs
video shortA global "Smart Grid" program is being implemented which is blasting homes and businesses with more electromagnetic radiation than human beings have ever been subject to in human history. It is utterly preposterous to assume this will not lead to major human epidemics.
We must now face the very serious problem that the institutions, government, corporations and foundations, that are supposed to be serving our interests are deliberately violating, exploiting, endangering and assaulting us.
This video exposes electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as a major danger and violation to all current and future generations.

Channeling Reality
The Model is the Message
Over the weekend, I received an email from Harmon Taylor of Legal Reality. It contained an article about U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Grossman's decision that the MERS business model was unlawful.
The story about subprime mortgages is important but more important is to look at the business model itself because the model is what is being referred to as a "market-based" structure.
When our government was "reinvented" by Al Gore and Bill Clinton, the systems of government were designed to be "market-based". Essentially, they corporatized our government and the systems of government were designed to be management systems that crossed the boundaries of government into the private sector which, in effect, set up a system of socializing costs and privatizing profits.
The socialization of costs occurs because of the collectivization (aggregation) of like entities in the system design. In the case of MERS, records of mortgages were created and put into a database. The note was a separate record so that it could be traded without the ordeal involved in clearing the physical records of the mortgage.
It was intended that the MERS system would manage the records for all mortgagers and the financial sector so that they could trade the paper.
MERS is just one example. Another example is the "reformed" health care system that people are calling Obama Care. It's not really Obama Care. The redesign of our health care system began in 1990 with project being initiated during the George H.W. Bush administration.
In the "reformed" health care system, medical records are being collectivized into a database to be managed by a third party with access being provided to all interested parties (patient privacy of no concern).
The Health Insurance Exchange then becomes the "market manager" between the providers and the health insurance consumers - each of which are collectivized entities in the system design. The effect is that the government (HIE's are either state run or third party (federal contractors)) becomes the manager of the "market".
Over the weekend, Amanda Teegarden and I worked on a flyer for the Oklahoma legislators who are going to vote on the creation of the Oklahoma State Health Insurance Exchange "market". The intent was to make it absolutely clear to legislators what they would be voting on:
Flyer - Oklahoma - Health Insurance Exchange
As the model pertains to the utility companies, I described the "market" that was being created by utility regulators in my response to Idaho Power on the issue of the Smart Meters. The separation of electric generation from distribution and transmission, with the creation of "virtual electricity suppliers" is the creation of an artificial "market".
Response to Idaho Power's Answer 2/21/2012 [ Idaho Power's Answer to Summons ]
America's Talent Bank and Job Bank - same model
What all of these systems are is the implementation of "managed capitalism" which is an oxymoron. What it really is - is the communist system of collectivism as designed by Technocrats to produce a fascist system of a centrally planned, and managed economy.
The model IS the message.

Human Relations
Compiled by D. Niwa
"The strategy of the Frankfurt School was the reorganization of the American people into collectives or groups and putting the dialectical process into action within these groups. The entire plan was first laid out in 1951 in the how-to book, Human Relations and Curriculum Change. This was a selection of readings by various Hegelian Marxists that in its totality, provided a guide for the destruction of any and all of America’s existing traditional institutions by first destroying, group by group, each individual’s Christian conscience, and thus the Ultimate Authority in America. . . ."

-- Judy McLemore, Critical Theory Marxism, Dialectical Method and Total Quality Management, Vol. 3 (2nd ed.), 2002, p3.
Human Relations in Curriculum Change (ed. Kenneth D. Benne & Bozidar Muntyan, 1951) contains valuable information -- key to recognizing the social engineering group processes used for preparing populations to live in an elite-controlled collectivist society.
The [transformational Marxist] theory/practices in this book are peddled under the guise of supporting so-called "democratic" deliberation, "democratic" participation, and "democratic" cooperation, etc. Though it becomes clear that "democratic" whatever merely refers to the act of participating in a group, as well as engaging in what is identified as "group thinking."
Notes
1) Charlotte Iserbyt's "The Death of Free Will" (Dec. 2010, see pgs 2-3) cites where Human Relations in Curriculum Change fits in the context of the changes that were planned nearly a century ago.
2) Current/former educators please note this excerpt from the book's preface that recognizes the role of the NEA: "Two recent lines of intellectual development with which one of the editors has had the good fortune to be closely associated have contributed fundamentally to this book. . . ." -- one of which includes:
"The work of the National Training Laboratory in Group Development, sponsored by the National Education Association and the Research Center for Group Dynamics, University of Michigan, has helped to advance our understanding of group development in the interrelated contexts of training, research and social action. This latter work has built in some large part upon the frontier theorizing of Kurt Lewin and his associates."
3) Kurt Lewin is an important link between the National Training Labs (United States) and the Tavistock Institute (London). This is why similar social engineering processes are found in both the U.S. and U.K.

The Human Use of Human Beings
The Human Use of Human Beings is a book by Norbert Wiener. It was first published in 1950 and revised in 1954.
Wiener was the founding thinker of cybernetics theory and an influential advocate of automation. Human Use argues for the benefits of automation to society. It analyzes the meaning of productive communication and discusses ways for humans and machines to cooperate, with the potential to amplify human power and release people from the repetitive drudgery of manual labor, in favor of more creative pursuits in knowledge work and the arts. He explores how such changes might harm society through dehumanization or subordination of our species, and offers suggestions on how to avoid such risks.
What is Cybernetics?
The word cybernetics refers to the theory of message transmission among people and machines. The book's thesis:
"It is the thesis of this book that society can only be understood through a study of the messages and the communication facilities which belong to it; and that in the future development of these messages and communication facilities, messages between man and machines, between machines and man, and between machine and machine, are destined to play an ever-increasing part." (16)
Communication methods have entered a new realm, involving new technologies. Whether a transmission is between people, or between people and machines, the process is similar in that information is sent by one party and received by another, which can send a response. This is a type of feedback. People, animals, and plants all have the ability to take certain actions in response to their environments. Wiener explains that, in the same way, machines have feedback systems in order for their performances to be altered or evaluated in accordance with results. In the context of human/machine society, he offers a definition of the message as "a sequence of events in time which, though in itself has a certain contingency, strives to hold back nature's tendency toward disorder by adjusting its parts to various purposive ends" (27).
Entropy and Negentropy
The physical world has a "tendency toward disorder." Entropy is a broad concept which is used in somewhat different ways across disciplines, but roughly it describes the way that isolated systems naturally become less and less organized with the passage of time. The word entropy is popularly understood as meaning a gradual decline into a state of chaos, but it is more accurate to think of it as diffusion of energy toward a state of equilibrium, following the second law of thermodynamics.
Wiener believed that communication of information, because it relies on organizational structures, is essentially negentropic, meaning it resists entropy. There are two kinds of possible disorganizational forces, passive and active: "Nature offers resistance to decoding, but it does not show ingenuity in finding new and undecipherable methods for jamming our communication with the outer world" (35-36). Nature's passive resistance is in contrast to active resistance, like that of a chess opponent.
Potential for Learning
An increase of information will increase organization, whether communicated by a living being or a machine. Informational organization in machines does not necessarily constitute "vitality" or a "soul." The feedback systems of an organism and those of a machine simply function in a similar way, allowing either to make assessments and act on the actual effectiveness of previous actions. When such feedback modifies not just a discrete action but an entire set of behaviors, Wiener calls this learning.
Forms and Patterns
The individuality of a being is a certain intricate form, not an enduring substance. In order to understand an organism, it must be thought of as a pattern which maintains itself through homeostasis. Life continues by maintaining an internal balance of various factors such as temperature and molecular structure. While the material substances that compose a living being may be constantly replaced by nearly identical ones, an organism continues functioning with the same identity as long as the pattern is kept sufficiently intact. Patterns can be transmitted, modified, or duplicated, and are therefore a kind of information. Based on this, Wiener suggests it should be theoretically possible to transmit the entirety of a living person as a message (which is practically indistinguishable from the concept of physical teleportation). He admits that the obstacles to such a process would be great, because of the enormous amount of information embodied in a person, and the difficulty of reading or writing it.
Science, Law, and Industry
According to Wiener, the "progress" of human society as we conceive it today did not exist until four hundred years ago, but now we have entered "a special period in the history of the world" (46). The progress of recent centuries has changed our world so dramatically that humans are being forced to adapt to the new environmental order or disorder that we are still creating. Wiener believes the quickness and range of our adaptability has always been the strong point of the human species, which distinguishes us from even the most intelligent of other living creatures. Our advancements in technology have created new opportunities along with new restrictions.
Increasingly better sensory mechanics will allow machines to react to changes in stimuli, and adapt more efficiently to their surroundings. This type of machine will be most useful in factory assembly lines, giving humans the freedom to supervise and use their creative abilities constructively. Medicine can benefit from robotic advances in the design of prostheses for the handicapped. Wiener mentions the Vocorder, a device from Bell Telephone Company that creates visual speech. He discusses the possibility of creating an automated prosthesis that inputs speech directly into the brain for processing, effectively giving deaf individuals the ability to "hear" speech again.
Progress in these areas is ongoing and rapid, exemplified by such devices as the palatometer, a new device created to replaced a damaged larynx. It uses a speech synthesizer to recreate words based on its ability to monitor tongue movements. This device effectively rids people with damaged larynxes of the robotic tones associated with artificial speech synthesizers (like the one famously used by disabled physicist Stephen Hawking), enabling people to have more natural social interactions.
Machines, in Wiener's opinion, are meant to interact harmoniously with humanity and provide respite from the industrial trap we have made for ourselves. Wiener describes the automaton as inherently necessary to humanity's societal evolution. People could be free to expand their minds, pursue artistic careers, while automatons take over assembly line production to create necessary commodities. These machines must be "used for the benefit of man, for increasing his leisure and enriching his spiritual life, rather than merely for profits and the worship of the machine as a new brazen calf" (162).
How Can Automatons Harm Human Society?
Though hopeful that humanity will ultimately prosper by the use of automatons, he mentions a few ways this relationship with technology could be detrimental. Automatons must not be taken for granted, because with advances in technology that allow them to learn, the machines may be able to escape human control if humans do not continue proper supervision of them. We might become entirely dependent on them, or even controlled by them. There is danger in trusting decisions to something which cannot think abstractly, and may therefore be unlikely to identify with intellectual human values which are not purely utilitarian.
Importance and Influence of the Book
Norbert Wiener's book was the forerunner of studies in cybernetics, and has influenced many theorists. It has impacted the fields of computers and technology, engineering, biology, sociology, and a broad range of other sciences. Numerous books have been published in relation to cybernetics theory which explore alternative concepts and models of feedback, human/machine relationships, systems science, and industrial advancement. William Ross Ashby, another founder of cybernetics, wrote the book Introduction to Cybernetics, which presents many new interpretations and definitions. Other theorists have produced writings on systems, communication, and the human experience in cybernetics. N. Katherine Hayles, author of How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature, and Informatics, describes the effects of technology in the age of virtual information and what it means for humans to live in an ever-advancing society. The American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) is a research association founded in 1964, the same year Wiener died, and is dedicated to the cooperative understanding and further improvement of cybernetics theory.

Dr. Helen Caldicott: What We Learned From Fukushima (April 2, 2012)
Few people know that the Pacific Northwest got whacked hard by fallout from the Fukushima disaster with radiation rates hundreds of thousands of times higher than normal background radiation. The damage from this is not something that the corporate media or the government is talking about. It mysteriously disappeared from the radar almost immediately. Dr. Caldicott referred to this as a process of “cover-up and psychic numbing.” Looks like it may be working. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved two new nuclear power plants this week (4/2/12) in South Carolina in addition to the two approved earlier this year in Georgia. Dr. Caldicott talks about the dangers and hidden costs of nuclear power then tells the awful truth in minute detail about the actual scale of the Fukushima disaster and compares it to the nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Recent studies estimated that a million people have died so far from Chernobyl. Dr. Helen Caldicott is a physician, Nobel Peace Prize winner, noted author, anti-nuclear power advocate and has founded numerous national and international groups which oppose nuclear power & weapons, including Physicians for Social Responsibility.

Religion in Disease
By Phineas Parkhurst QuimbyThe question is often asked why I talk about religion and quote Scripture while I cure the sick. My answer is that sickness being what follows a belief and all beliefs contain disease, the belief contains the evil which I must correct in order to cure the patient; and as I do this a chemical change takes place in the mind. Disease is an error for which the only remedy is truth. The fear of what will come after death is the beginning of man's troubles, for he tries to get some evidence that he will be happy and, fearing that he will never arrive at that state of happiness, he is miserable. Another fear is the chance of losing his life which is constantly multiplied as the medical faculty creates new diseases which, like the locusts of Egypt, are in everything we eat and drink.
What I shall try to show is that these beliefs do really produce the very evil we are afraid of here.
We are taught to believe that if we pray we shall receive an answer to our prayer. A superstitious person, believing this, is ready to believe he may be punished by prayer for someone may pray that God may remove him. Each army prays that God will direct the weapons that will slay their enemies. In Biblical times did not God answer the prayer of those who wished to destroy their enemies and did they not die? These facts prove that what we really believe may follow. We really believe in disease and as we create what we believe, disease is the result of our belief. People never seem to have thought of the fact that they are responsible to themselves for their belief. Therefore, to analyze their beliefs is to know themselves, which is the greatest study of man. All theories for the happiness of man contain more misery than happiness, either directly or indirectly. Destroy the beliefs of man and leave him where God left him to work out his own happiness by his own wisdom. One-half of the diseases arise from a false belief in the Bible. It may seem strange that the belief in the Bible affects us but it is so for every belief affects us more or less and I now propose to show that diseases are the effects of our belief directly or indirectly.
4 Famous Swedenborgians
http://swedenborg.org/FamousSwedenborgians/DanielBurnham.aspx
Daniel Burnham
Daniel Burnham, 1846-1912: An architect and city planner who created the model of the Swedenborgian heavenly city here on earth.
Daniel Burnham, a renowned Chicago architect, was a pioneer in both skyscraper design and city planning. A lifelong Swedenborgian (and grandson of a Swedenborgian minister) he attended Swedenborgian schools as a boy and teenager.
After completing an architecture apprenticeship, he joined a firm and met fellow trainee John W. Root, who shared Burnham's enthusiasm for Swedenborgian ideas. They formed Burnam and Root, which became the leading architectural firm in Chicago, responsible for some of the most admired buildings of the renowned Chicago school, among them the Monadnock Building and Masonic Temple. After Root's death in 1891, Burnham designed the famous Flatiron Building, New York's' first skyscraper, and Union Station in Washington, DC.
It was in the realm of city planning, however, that Burnham realized his greatest and most enduring achievements and it is there that the inspiration of Swedenborgian ideas is most profoundly imbedded. Burnham supervised construction of the great Chicago World's Fair of 1893, creating the "White City" as an ideal model for a modern city. His work, which strived to realize Swedenborg's heavenly city in stone, steel and concrete, has shaped much of twentieth century America's urban landscape.
Helen Keller
Helen Keller, 1880-1968: A humanitarian who lived her life in accordance with Swedenborg's "divine love and wisdom."
The story of Helen Keller is one of the most inspiring of our times. Blind and deaf from the age of nineteen months, she was wild and unruly in her childhood. The devoted efforts of her teacher Anne Sullivan opened the world to her and gave her the capacity to develop and express her extraordinary intelligence. In defiance of tremendous odds, she learned to read, write, type, and speak, and in 1904 she graduated with honors from Radcliffe College.
Keller was introduced to the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg by John Hitz, a longtime friend who was a member of the Church of the Holy City in Washington, DC. As she began to read Swedenborg's Heaven and Hell, she remarked, "my heart gave a joyous leap." She went on to write, in My Religion, of the spiritual odyssey that brought her to Swedenborgianism and endowed her with the inner resources to triumph over her handicaps and live a life of selfless service.
She remained a devoted member of the Church of the Holy City and on one occasion preached from its pulpit. Her extensive study of Swedenborg's works gave her the sustaining power of faith that energized and shone through the great work of her life.
Johnny Appleseed… aka John Chapman
Lived 1774-1845. An early Swedenborgian missionary in America, as well as a famous cultivator of apple nurseries.
Early Childhood
Johnny Appleseed (born John Chapman) was a direct descendant of Edward Chapman, who came from Yorkshire, England, to Boston in the 1640s and became a prosperous farmer and miller in Ipswich. John was of the sixth generation from Edward. He was the second child of Elizabeth Simonds and Nathaniel Chapman, who were married at Leominster, Massachusetts on February 8, 1770. John was born in Leominster on September 26, 1774, and was baptized with his sister Elizabeth in the Congregational Church on June 25, 1775, the day his father and mother were received into that church. John's father, Nathaniel, was a carpenter, a farmer, and a Revolutionary soldier. So far as any records show, he was a man of little means, though there is a tradition that he lost two good farms in the service of our country.
A letter from Elizabeth to Nathaniel, dated June 3, 1776, suggests that she was suffering from an advanced case of tuberculosis. At that time, Nathaniel was with a company of carpenters attached to General George Washington's headquarters at New York. In this letter, Elizabeth states that she has money for her needs, though she has not bought a cow, for cows were scarce and dear. This was a time of hardship and war-time inflation when many a colonial mother had a hard time caring for her children.
On June 26, 1776, Elizabeth gave birth to her third child, a son. On July 18th, she died, and within two weeks, according to family tradition, the baby, too, was dead. Little John, not yet two years old, and his sister, Elizabeth, were cared for by relatives. After Elizabeth's death, Nathaniel continued to serve in the Continental Army until the summer of 1780 when he was honorably discharged. That same summer he married Lucy Cooley of Longmeadow, Massachusetts. To them were born ten children.
We do not know if John and Elizabeth ever went to live with Nathaniel and Lucy, but we do know that John maintained close relationships with the family. Again according to family traditions, John at the age of eighteen persuaded his half-brother Nathaniel, a lad of eleven, to go West with him. This was in 1792.
Johnny and Nathaniel Head for the Frontier
Since the deeply-worn "Connecticut Path" from Boston to Albany crossed the Connecticut River at Springfield, one may presume that the boys saw emigrants passing to the West every day, and that they constantly heard glowing stories of that wonderful land. For almost half a century New Englanders had turned longing eyes toward the Susquehanna. They had first heard of it from missionaries returned from their efforts to convert Native American Indians to the Christian faith. These stories spread throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts by word of mouth and through the press. Little companies of emigrants were organized, and they set out for the fabulous country two hundred miles away, crossing the Hudson River at about where the present town of Catskill stands. This was just half way to the Susquehanna. Under the most favorable conditions, it took two or three weeks of the hardest kind of travel and labor to reach the headwaters of the Susquehanna.
John Chapman is said to have been in the Wilkes-Barre region sometime in the 1790s, practicing his profession as a nurseryman, but just when he embraced the Swedenborgian faith and began his missionary activities we cannot be sure, though it is probable that it was before he ever reached western Pennsylvania. There are some early accounts of John speaking of his own activities as "a Bible missionary" on the Potomac when he was a young man, and Johnny was seen for two or three consecutive years along the banks of the Potomac in eastern Virginia, picking the seeds from the pumice of the cider mills in the late 1790s.
From the Potomac, the Chapman boys could have worked their way westward to Fort Cumberland. From Fort Cumberland, they could have followed Nemacolin's Path, better known as Braddock's Road, to the Monongahela, and then perhaps followed the Monongahela to Pittsburgh, a route that many New Englanders took because there were fewer Indians to be encountered along the southern route.
We do know that John and Nathaniel arrived at last at Pittsburgh and from there went up the Allegheny River to its confluence with Olean Creek at Olean, New York. They expected to find an uncle there, but he had moved on. The boys appropriated the cabin and stayed through the winter, suffering much hardship. The next year they took up the nomadic life again in western Pennsylvania until their father, with his large family, came West in 1805. Nathaniel the younger then probably quit moving around with his older half-brother, John. The Ohio farmland was fertile, compared to the rocky soil of New England, and Nathaniel, senior, and the large family had much to work with. But John had another calling and vision for his life.
Johnny Becomes a Land Developer
Records show that John Chapman appeared on Licking Creek, in what is now Licking County, Ohio, in 1800, when he was twenty-six years old. He had probably come up the Muskingum River to plant near the Refugee Tract, which would soon fill up with settlers, when Congress actually got around to granting the lands. In April, 1798, the Continental Congress had ratified resolutions to donate public lands for the benefit of those who had left Canada and Nova Scotia to fight against the British in the Revolutionary War. The lands were actually set apart in 1801 and patents issued in 1802. Grants of land ranging from 160 acres to 2,240 acres were awarded according to the exertions of the patentee in the War. Johnny, with true Yankee enterprise, went ahead and planted his nurseries before the refugees arrived. Licking County, then a part of Fairfield, contained only three white families. By the time families were ready to settle the area, Johnny's tracts of land were ready for market.
This is the plan that John Chapman followed for the next half-century. Johnny Appleseed went ahead of the great immigrant flood ever sweeping westward. He planted with an eye to future markets, and seldom did he make a poor choice. It is uncanny how many towns have risen on or near his nursery sites.
One of the pervasive myths of Johnny Appleseed is that he never lived. The late Robert Price, English professor at Otterbein College, researched John Chapman's life for twenty-five years. Published in 1954 by the Indiana University Press, Johnny Appleseed: Man and Myth remains today the best historical gathering of factual data of the life that came to be a storybook legend. And the facts of the real man provide some startling contrasts from the romantic image of Johnny Appleseed that has grown up in American folklore. Perhaps the most ironic twist is that though John Chapman never domesticated himself for very long in one place and certainly never had a home in the traditional sense of the word, he was no mere dreamy wanderer. The record on Johnny Appleseed reveals him to be a careful, organized and strategic businessman who, over a period of several decades, bought and sold many dozen tracts of land in advance of the frontier expansion, and who developed countless thousands of productive apple trees throughout the upper Midwest.
John Chapman didn't simply walk around the countryside planting seeds and communing with nature. He was methodical in the selection of his nursery sites and the planting of his seeds. By instinct, he practiced the Van Mons theory of improving fruit by seeding rather than by grafting or budding. He always selected a good loamy piece of ground in an open place, fenced it in with fallen trees and logs, bushes and vines, sowed his seeds, and returned at regular intervals to repair the fence, to tend the ground, and to sell his trees.
Johnny's Way of Life
If he had to remain long with a nursery, he put up a little Indian hut of poles and covered it with a bark roof, leaving a hole in the center for the smoke to escape. His housekeeping equipment consisted of a camp kettle, a plate, and a spoon. He sometimes made a bed of leaves inside the hut, but often he slept on the bare ground with his feet to a small fire. Sometimes he slept on a bed of leaves beside a log; again, he might make himself a temporary shelter by leaning great slabs of elm bark against a fallen tree; inside, on his bed of leaves, he slept serenely, confident that nothing could harm him. Many frontiersmen came long distances to buy trees from him, and stayed the night. With his meager equipment, Johnny boiled mush and dispensed hospitality as graciously as any housewife.
In the Mohican country, Johnny visited every cabin religiously, feeling that he had been commissioned to preach, to heal diseases, to warn of danger-in short, to help God take care of the settlers. He planted his nurseries around Mansfield, Loudonville, Perryville, and the Indian village of Green Town, living in a little cabin near Perryville. When asked why he feared neither man nor beast, he replied that he lived in harmony with all people, and that he could not be harmed as long as he lived by the law of love. He is said to have sown the seeds of medicinal herbs wherever he went: dog fennel, pennyroyal, catnip, hoarhound, mullein, rattlesnake root, and others. For a long time, fennel was called "Johnny weed." He often appeared at the door of a new settler's home with a gift of herbs in his hands.
Johnny made friends with many of the Indian tribes and was known to have learned many Indian languages well enough to converse. Memoirs from settlers who knew Johnny well indicate the impression that many Indians held Johnny in a high regard, and that his unusual zeal for serving others led some to believe he was touched by the Great Spirit. For that reason, they allowed him to listen to their council meetings, and he was therefore sometimes able to avert trouble between a tribe and incoming settlers. He is said to have had compassion for the views and needs of both cultures, and was a fine communicator. He possessed a peculiar eloquence and a resonant voice that was persuasively tender, inspirationally sublime, or when needed witheringly denunciatory. He had a keen sense of humor and was quick to make a witty retort or a cutting rebuke. And he was sincerely patriotic. He had unlimited faith in his country. On one occasion, at least, he made a Fourth of July oration at a celebration in Huron County.
He had unusual ideas about charging for his trees and collecting for them. He would take a reasonable price in money, some cast-off clothing, a bit of food, or nothing at all, according to the circumstances of his customer. To him, it was more important for a settler to plant a tree than to pay for it. He never liked to have a note dated for a specific day, for, he said, it might not be convenient to collect that day, or it might not be convenient for the customer to pay on that date. He never asked a person to pay a debt, for he reasoned that if God wanted him to have the money, God would move the customer to pay. Besides, the customer knew that he or she owed the money, without being reminded of it.
He was not the only person involved in such activities. What made Johnny legendary is that he stayed itinerant his entire life; his ability to exist harmoniously with Indian cultures as well as his own; his colorful personal habits. For instance, though appearing outwardly impoverished, John Chapman was not a poor man. While his assets probably never accumulated to a fortune, he had far more cash than he needed. He never used banks and relied instead on an elaborate system of burying moneys that he might not come back for until a few years later.
He lived on foods provided by nature, and he never killed animals. Humane societies might well claim him as a forerunner, for he would rescue aged horses left to fend for themselves and pay some farmer to care for them. It is said that he once rescued a wolf from a trap, with the result that the wolf adopted him and followed him for a long time. It is said that he could walk over the ice and snow barefooted in the coldest weather and never feel it. The skin was so think on his feet that one of his acquaintances said it would kill a rattlesnake to try to bite Johnny's feet.
The End of a Long Journey
In 1842, Johnny made his last trip back to Ohio. While there, he made his headquarters at the home of Nathaniel, the half-brother with whom he had set out on his remarkable life fifty years before. Upon his return to Fort Wayne in Indiana, he resumed his work as "a gatherer and planter of apple seeds." On March 18, 1845, he died of pneumonia in the home of his Richmond County friend, William Worth, and was buried not far from Ft. Wayne.
John Chapman lived in complete harmony with nature. In field and meadow and forest, he walked, concerned with the spacious thoughts of God. The singularity of his thinking and his living was inextricably entwined with his religious views. What was it about the "new" Christian doctrines that came from the writings of the Swedish scientist and Lutheran reformer, Emanuel Swedenborg, to guide, nurture and inspire such a life?
Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie, 1835-1919: A captain of industry whose philanthropy adapted the
Swedenborgian "doctrine of uses" to the Industrial Age
The son of a poor Scottish immigrant, Andrew Carnegie started out working at humble jobs but through his hard work and acute business insight he eventually formed the giant Carnegie Steel Company in 1892. In 1902 banker J.P. Morgan arranged to buy out Carnegie for $250 million, making him the world's wealthiest man.
In his Gospel of Wealth, Carnegie set forth the idea that the wealthy should spend the latter part of their lives giving away their wealth. Carnegie established a pattern of modern philanthropy followed by later industrialists, and his Carnegie Corporation in New York continues to carry out his philanthropic work today.
Carnegie's social conscience was shaped in part by his mentors Matthew Arnold and Herbert Spencer, but he was also influenced by Swedenborg's Doctrine of Uses. As a young man, he attended the Sunday school of the Swedenborgian Church in Pittsburgh and was librarian of that church. Carnegie did not merely give away his wealth--he devoted considerable effort to make certain that his gifts would be put to proper use, an approach that fitted Swedenborg's doctrine to early twentieth century America in a remarkable way.
Religion and Politics; a response to Reverend Howard Bess
By Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich
March 13, 2012
Retired Baptist minister Howard Bess wrote a column for the Faith page at the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman on March 7, 2012, saying it’s “open season to write about church and state.” We would like to respond to Religion and politics do go together, because we agree, they absolutely do.
Senator Rick Santorum is a Catholic, but to us that’s not the issue. The fact that Santorum is a Conservative Communitarian practicing a brand of Catholicism described as “Communitarian” is much more important. He’s not the only politician in the United States with political beliefs based in religion. Mitt Romney isn’t simply a Mormon; he’s a Mormon Communitarian. Newt Gingrich also believes in the Third Way Communitarian Platform. President Barack Obama was described as a “black communitarian voice” coming out of Chicago by the Village Voice in 1996. He was later called “The Third Way Wonder Boy” by the Democratic Leadership Council in 2004. Bill Clinton says, “We’re more communitarian now.”
Communitarianism is a 1980s ideology quietly shared by Left and Right politicians. Modified regularly, this continually changing social theory borrows from many ancient sources including the Bible, Koran, Talmud, Cabala, Plato, and Merlin. It was the legal foundation for UN Local Agenda 21. Now it’s global Communitarian Law—the Supreme Law in the court systems of the European Union and the UN.
A revised set of Sustainable Development mandates will be handed out at the upcoming 20th Anniversary Rio Earth Summit in Brazil this June. Communitarianism expanded into The Rights of Mother Earth and The Eleven Laws of Nature. The new Saudi financed court in Vienna will balance Christianity, Judaism, and Islam with countless religions and cults. Only ancient “wisdom” can help us all evolve into One or save the Earth from over-consumptive humans. People (not corporations) have been classified in the religious legal framework as an evil species that must be purged before the Earth can heal. Like all ancient religions surviving on blood, sweat and tears, our advanced scientific religion will require much human sacrifice. Sanctioned genocide of entire nations of people and excessive taxation/fines on the survivors is the Communitarian sustainable solution to Monsanto’s poisoning every field on Earth.
“There is general agreement that the world’s environment is under attack by the lifestyles of human beings. Collectively, we are polluting the world’s atmosphere by burning fossil fuels; we are polluting our farmlands and rivers with chemicals; we are using the oceans as a big dumping ground for the waste produced by our consumptive society. We are aware of these attacks on the environment, but the most dangerous pollutant is barely mentioned. The greatest attack on the world’s environment is being made by population explosion. We are racing to a world’s population that cannot be sustained.” Baptist Rev. Howard Bess, Retired
Rev. Bess is advancing Communitarian theory that says people are a “dangerous pollutant.” Eugenics, racism, nihilism and magic are at the root of the Big Idea to sacrifice millions of innocent people to the angry goddess; the evidence shows Communitarian genocide is a theory that cannot be sustained.
Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich are the internationally acclaimed authors of “2020: Our Common Destiny” and “The Anti Communitarian Manifesto.” They live in Wasilla, Alaska.
Noah's Ark
Coming of the Noahide Laws through the Third Way
Slowly and quietly, academia and international world leaders are planning the future legal system of the final world empire. The Book of Daniel clearly states that the final empire will be a global government and it will be a resurrected form of the Roman Empire. In all likelihood, the Antichrist will be the ruler of this revived Roman Empire, which will "change the laws" and “devour the whole earth.”
In the course of human events and since Daniel interpreted the king's dream, all but one of these kingdoms have appeared and disappeared just as predicted.
In order, they are:
Babylonia
Medo-Persia
Greece
Rome
The Revived Roman Empire
We know that the New World Order, which will bring about the revived Roman Empire, is being brought about by laws and political ideology. The NWO's political ideology is known as Communitarianism, or the Third Way. It is not fully Fascist, nor is it fully Communist, but a synthesis of these opposing ideologies. Communitarianism is being implemented through our community and our Church programs.
In my last article, I stated that Dr. Amitai Etzioni, the founder of American Communitarianism (who got it from Satan), prefers a secular approach to bring about this political ideology, rather than a religious approach. Through further study, I learned that this statement is grossly inaccurate.
The Talmud and the Noahide Laws
According to Niki Raapana, a researcher and author, explains in her writing that: “The Kabbalah is often described as The Truth Tree or The Tree of Knowledge. Amitai, which is not his birth name, means Tree of Knowledge from Zion. Niki further adds that “Communitarian legal theory is based in part from the Kabbalah.”
The Tree of Knowledge
Dr. Amitai Etzioni, a German Jew, studied the Kabbalah. “Etzioni's new Communitarian idea of ‘community spirit’ is based in the Talmud, Hegel, and the Theosophical ideas expressed by Madame Blavatsky. Blavatsky, along with many others led astray, introduced Americans to the worship of Lucifer as the ultimate ‘light being.’ The Talmud is the textbook of Jewish Rabbis and the basis of Judaism. The Kabbalah is the “blood and bone” of the Talmud.
To see the significance in this, the modern political movements of Christian Reconstructionism and Dominionism desire to replace the modern criminal code of the United States with Mosaic Law. The Talmudic code is generally termed the "Mosaic-Talmudic," since the authorities of the Talmud took the Mosaic law as their basis. The Jewish Talmud is the law traditions of the rabbis, and the Kabbalah, which are the mystical teachings and traditions of the rabbis and sages.
The Seven Laws of Noah form the major part of the Noahide Law (aka Noahide Code). This code is a set of moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of laws for the "children of Noah" – that is, all of mankind. The Noahide Laws comprise the six laws which were given to Adam in the Garden of Eden, according to the Talmud's interpretation of Gen 2:16, and a seventh one, which was added after the Flood of Noah.
The seven laws listed in the Talmud are:
Prohibition of Idolatry
Prohibition of Murder
Prohibition of Theft
Prohibition of Sexual immorality
Prohibition of Blasphemy
Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive
Establishment of courts of law
Noahide Laws Today
The Noahide Laws are growing in popularity, and have reached the U. S. Congress. The U.S. Congress officially recognized the Noahide Laws in legislation that was passed by both houses. Congress and the President of the U. S., George Bush, indicated in Public Law 102-14, 102nd Congress, that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven Universal Laws of Noah, and that these Laws have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization. They also acknowledged that the Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the Citizens of the U.S. of America and future generations is needed. For this purpose, this Public Law designated March 26, 1991 as "Education Day."
According to the Pharisees, known today in modern day as Lubavitch Jews,
the Noahide Laws are based from their version of the Talmud.
What does this law mean for our future? Within the Sanhedrin Court website in Jerusalem, it states:
"The purpose of this court is to rule on the legal aspects of issues concerning Bnei Noah: biblical and internationally recognized principles as a basis for legal reciprocity in international law...This court has been set up to serve the needs of B'nei Noach worldwide.”
According to Niki Raapana,
"The Noahide Laws will be administered by a restored Sanhedrin. “[Archaeologist Dr. Vendyl Jones] is working with the Sanhedrin to establish a system of courts for non-Jews adhering to the Seven Laws of Noah, which the Torah obligates all of humanity to follow. One of those laws is to establish courts of justice. A high court has been established by the Sanhedrin for such purposes, and a subsidiary of that court will soon be established in the United States as well. In 1991, Chabad-Lubavitch in cooperation with President Bush that will return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws.”
Niki has found writings of the Pope and priests that explicitly defined political Communitarianism as the synthesis in the Hegelian-Marxist dialectic.
"Pope John Paul's great vision of Communitarianism and a New Global Order has yet to receive the recognition it deserves in furthering the understanding that humanity is built on religious values, without which transformations in totalitarian regimes would have been impossible. The essence of Communitarianism, as put forth by the Vatican, consists of seeking middle ground between Marxist collectivism and rigid individualism and capitalism." Robert L. Phillips, Carnegie Council.org
The Bad Part
So you see, this is further proof that modern day Israel will be the center of world politics and law (Pharisees and Scribes). It may appear that the Noahide Laws will be easy to abide by once they become International Law - and that it could be a good thing. It almost makes you think that we could live in a world of order, and the criminals will get the punishment the justice system has failed to administer.
But according to the Sanhedrin law, (Sanh. 57A), one of the 7 Noahide Laws prohibits idolatry. True Christians, under these Noahide Laws, will be considered idolaters for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. If Noahide law is globally enforced, which it likely will, Christians will receive capital punishment and be beheaded.
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Rev. 20:4
Another Piece of the Noahide Puzzle
In The History of Freemasonry, Albert Mackey identifies Noah as the originator of a mystery religion known as the Arkite Worship. The book states that "Noah was the father and founder of the Masonic system of theology." According to Masonic doctrine, a Noahide is an average Gentile, while a "true Noachide" would be a "righteous Gentile" (eg. a Mason) who pursues the study and keeping of the 7 Laws, thereby attaining to an advanced level of spirituality:
"When one of the Children of Noah engages in the study of the Seven Universal Laws, he is able to attain a spiritual level higher than the High Priest of the Jews, who alone has the sanctity to enter the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem."
Albert Mackey upholds the binding nature of the Noahide Laws for salvation: "These seven obligations...are held binding on all men, inasmuch as all are descendants of Noah, and the Rabbis maintain that he who observes them, though he not be an Israelite, has a share in the future life, and it is the duty of every Jew to enforce their due observance wherever he has the power to do so."

Conclusion
This topic was difficult to write about, since there are so many facets to it - and it's possible that I may have missed a few points. Protective secrecy within the secret societies has guarded their strange mystery religion doctrines and plans, and fear has kept many from exposing it. For years we have heard that there is a great Zionist conspiracy, and this should be proof enough of how they have worked together. Nefarious Christian Reconstructionists, Dominionists, Zionists, and Masonic groups have created their Luciferian Rothschild plan for control and eugenics. Does this mean that every Christian Reconsturctionist/Dominionist is assisting in this great plan? No, because who would have thunk it! But those who stay after they have been made aware of their agenda are cooperating with them.
Do I believe we will see this in our lifetime? Yes, I do, mainly because anyone can go onto the internet and read it. You just need to know the players, and the way to piece this grand plan together. You can see the evidence clearly. If you can see the whites of their eyes, then the time is close.
There have been rumors that Sharia law would be implemented in the U.S. Sharia law is probably a scare tactic, and it is the Noahide Laws that will take its place. It will pacify the Muslims, and it continues to be supported by a huge group of so-called Christians.
How can we protect ourselves? Know the Enemy. By knowing the symbolism his followers, we can be on guard. There is danger in reading the writings of these Luciferians, especially Madame Blavatsky, so know that you don't have to know everything.
All the high places of the seven mountains have been taken over by those who want this system of law, and they are all fake Christians - such as Dr. James Dobson [CNP]. Barbara Aho states that on his radio program:
"Dobson expressed to the CNP his disillusionment with the Republican Party and his determination to do whatever is necessary to restore the observance of moral law in the U.S.A. Dr. Dobson stated that, if need be, he will take a leave of absence from Focus on the Family in order to work to cover this end. He reasoned that since God created Wisdom, the Moral Law, and it is the law of the Universe." (Edited for clarity)
We are very close to that New Age paradigm shift.
Thinking+Man
Christian Think Tanks and the NWO
Think Tank - a select group of scholars that conduct research and engage in advocacy in areas such as: social policy, political strategy, economics, military, and technology issues. By their nature, think tanks are in the business of influencing – and the who, what, and how depends on the country and subject area. Their goal is to contribute to change - some good and some bad.
While the term "think tank" originated in the 1950s, such organizations date back to the 19th century. Though each vary in focus, many of them deal with regional and global issues. There are approximately 3,000 think tanks today, and most of them play in supporting ideas and helping to set the agenda of American political life.
Below are examples of how think tanks might be grouped according to their ideological outlooks:
Conservative
• International Institute for Strategic Studies
• Heritage Foundation
• American Enterprise Institute
• Center for Strategic and International Studies
• Hoover Institution
• Progress and Freedom Foundation
Conservative/ Libertarian
• Cato Institute
• Reason Foundation
Center-Right
• RAND Corporation
• Centre for Policy Studies
• The Institute of Economic Affairs
• Adam Smith Institute
• The Bow Group
• C Change
• The Centre for Social Justice
Centrist
• Brookings Institution
• Carnegie Endowment
• Council on Foreign Relations
• Freedom Forum
• Progressive Policy Institute
• Institute for International Economics
Center-Left
• The Fabian Society
• Institute for Public Policy Research
• Urban Institute
Liberal / Left
• CentreForum

• The Foreign Policy Centre
• Institute for Citizenship
• The Social Market Foundation
• New Policy Institute
• Nexus
• Politeia
• The David Hume Trust
• MigrationWatch
• Policy Exchange
• Reform
Peace through strength
NGOs and the Luciferian Elite
Many of these think tanks are interconnected Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), created and funded by the elite to bring about the New World Order. They are filled with corporate-funded, unelected and largely unknown policy makers. They are cleverly disguised corporate-fascist oligarchy that have their own agenda. As an example, there is the diverse nature of these NGOs is the Club of Rome, a premier global think tank which published the First Global Revolution in which they invented the global warming and sustainable development fraud. These policies will lead to the unraveling of our modern world.
Christian Think Tanks
Interesting enough, there are also Christian think tanks. At close examination, they have the same global agenda, which is to assist as the religious arm of the New World Order. While the U.S., UK, and Israel take a lead in today's major think tanks, most of the Christian think tanks are located in Great Britain and the U.S. - with the following being the most noted:
Ekklesia - is a British think tank which examines the role of religion in public life and advocates transformative theological ideas and solutions. It was founded by two Fabian Socialists, Jonathan Bartley and Simon Barrow. Both advance the Third Way style of fascist politics.
Theos - whose aims are to impact opinion around issues of faith and belief in society through research, publications, media engagement and events. It was launched in 2006 with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, Anglican and ecumenical, and the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, Jesuit trained and maintains an ecumenical stance.
The U.S. also has Christian think tanks, but their Reconstuctionist roots are more easily seen.
Center for Christian Thought - Biola University - A Calvinist institute founded by wealthy Union Oil businessman Lyman Stewart, also a Christian Reconstructionist. The think tank was recently awarded a $3.03 million research grant from the ecumenical Templeton Foundation for a new Southern California Christian think tank. Templeton Foundation has ties to the CNP.
The Koinonia Institute - A ministry of CNP's Chuck Missler - It fills the void by bringing some of today’s Christian thinkers together to share their insider’s perspectives. They promote an end-time timeline of the pre-tribulation rapture, and supports the political government of Israel.
Discovery Institute - A Calvinist think tank whose emphasis is on religious faith within a pluralistic democracy. The institution funded by CNP's Howard Abmanson, Jr., a Christian Reconstructionist, who once sat on the board of Rushdoony's Chalcedon Institute.
Chalcedon Institute - an organization devoted to research, publishing, and promoting Christian Reconstruction in all areas of life. Founded by CNP's Rousas John Rushdoony, who was instrumental in starting the Christian home school movement.
Center for Christian Thought and Action - A think tank funded by CNPs Pat Robertson and located at Regent University. The university is ecumenical and teaches dominion theology, whose goal it is to take the world for Christ.
Family Research Council - In 1988, CNP's James Dobson's Focus on the Family mega-ministry merged with the Family Research Council (FRC), a tiny Washington think tank headed by CNP's Gary Bauer, a Reconstructionist. With Focus' millions behind it, FRC's profile shot up as Bauer brought Dobson's anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-sex education messages to leaders on Capitol Hill.
Council for National Policy - A bipartisan fascist think tank with a right wing exterior. The CNP is the right arm of the dialectic. It is the same as the Council on Foreign Relations, whose goal it is to have a world government. Some of their surface beliefs are biblical, but many of their views are based upon Reconstructionist/Dominion theology. Member Database.
...just to name a few.

Conclusion
The Institutional/Corporate Church, which is a collection of people who profess to be Christians, "who have a form of godliness, but deny the power of God," have used the Church to further their globalist goals. The pseudo-Christian think tanks, a part of the Institutional/Corporate Church, is provided assistance from elite globalists, who have acted as the steering committee for the Institutionalized/Corporate Church. By doing this, elite globalist funds have advanced their world dominion goals, and have gained a huge crowd of followers.
Genuine Christians unknowingly signed on, only to further the footprint of the globalists, and have helped to make inroads into closed countries. Many believed the scholars of the think tanks, and have unknowingly permitted them to further their brand of totalitarian politics. The Institutionalized/Corporate Church was set up by Satan to resemble the real Church, as he attempts to claw his way to the top.
Although it is still remains as a small voice, Reconstructionists argue that American society must be rebuilt on laws drawn exclusively from the Bible. The Reconstructionists claims that once America is purely Christian, it will establish dominion over the world and lead the forces of good in their final confrontation with Satan’s evildoers.
These Christian Reconstructionist think tanks and Christian institutions of higher learning occupy high-level positions. Its invisible reigns lead back to the religious aspect of the NWO, and the supremacy of the Roman Catholic churches papal theonomy.
Conflict and disagreement will arise between those who choose to follow Christ. The Lord has told us that following Him will not be free of conflict, and it will come at a cost. What will you do to expose this false system? The Institutionalized Church teaches the Purpose Driven church, global warming, sustainable living, Chrislam, Contemplative Prayer, New Age concepts (believe and you will receive...), an a false end-time timeline, pro-Israel, and many other modern false teachings. How will you stand against the tide of accepted Church teachings?

#7 It Is Important
“It is important that people understand accurate history as opposed to the official version that many of us have learned in government operated schools and via the corporate owned, artificial, desensitizing mass media. The media and the school system mould our perceptions while whitewashing some of the worst scoundrels in history. Numerous individuals have deliberately deceived us into repetitive wars and have helped facilitate several worldwide economic disasters. Warfare never brings peace, only needless death, suffering and lasting resentment. Yet politicians choose war instead of open negotiations, but it is the youth of many nations, indoctrinated to hate the “enemy”, who die in those wars. The US government, often without public support or knowledge, has intervened in countries worldwide using false claims while ignoring its own critical domestic problems. During the course of those interventions, millions have perished. If people consider their moral values, resist the propaganda and follow the proverbial money, they will discover that the same people who advocate warfare frequently profit in its aftermath. The military destroys, then well connected contractors rebuild, usually at taxpayer expense. Politicians and the financial interests do not represent the nation's interests but rather their own, as demonstrated by our history and current events.”
Deanna Spingola
The Ruling Elite, a study in imperialism, genocide and emancipation, back cover.
This book represents an alternative and factual history of the formation and development of the United States which few Americans know about because the people behind the scenes who developed our state schools preferred to give us a whitewashed lie as our official history. Meeting the challenge, Deanna Spingola does not really try and persuade you of anything: her style is didactic, fact after fact after fact until incontrovertible evidence emerges implicating many people and institutions held to this day in esteem which they hardly deserve. I wondered at several places what would have happened had this book appeared many years ago, would it have made the slightest difference? Will it matter today? Only time will tell.
What is the natural response when it is uncovered beyond any possible doubt that the entire edifice of our educational, political and economic system is a scam run by special interests? What future is there in any of it but death and destruction to those “not on the team” or “in the way of progress”? If you are not brought to a few good realizations after reading this book, then there really is something seriously wrong with you.
Those outside America need to read this book too because it describes in lurid details some of the most despicable acts of brutality committed by this supposedly constitutional government, under essentially the same masters the nation has endured since before it declared its independence. Once you have incontestable facts (and Spingola has offered nothing new, only assembled what many of us have already known from various credible sources), the patterns become more obvious; what is going on in the Middle East today is what went on in the American west a hundred and fifty years ago, or went on in Russia following the revolution there, or in France following the revolution there or in China ... Nothing is new. I want to make a sincere apology for not understanding clearly that many indigenous people, slaves (and freed black people) and Southerners (whether they owned slaves or not) suffered the equivalent of the Red Terror in my own country during the 19th century. It shows how well the public indoctrination has worked.
Not only is Spingola's book a must read, especially for Americans, it should be paired with another book, which is a must read, especially if you are a Russian, as much the same was done there by similar minded people after the revolution of 1917. That book is The Red Terror in Russia by Sergei Melgunov. Melgunov is similarly didactic, just stating the facts, leaving you to comprehend the magnitude of what happened in Russia. Why would those who accomplished this terror, and actually PAID for it, not use this tactic again? Spingola is stating for the record that such occurred right here in America and we are vastly unaware of it to this day. It's time to wake up.
We would also want to put in its proper place ALL attempts by those who are PAID to lie, cheat, steal and especially those paid to “debunk” what facts others have collected to JEER people into silence and submission. Their jeers are their first assault, after that they send in their goons and thugs, some who may be high on mind altering drugs as they were in Russia (and yes even alcohol is a mind altering drug that was used by thugs during killing sprees). Jeers should never be tolerated and always assailed for exactly what they are, attempts to push and shove the person, ideas or point of view off the public stage and out of view. Those doing the jeering should be told frankly that we are onto them, that they had best consider whose side they are taking and why, because it does and will matter to them personally.
Let us frontally attack the words “conspiracy theory,” one of their trademark jeers. Serious researchers like Deanna Spingola are not interested in theories. We are interested in uncovering factual conspiracies, which in most instances are not so very hard to comprehend. After all, down through time there have always been secret meetings, secret clubs, secret societies, in all of which occur deals which were made in secret to divide and conquer, usually people who stood in the way of those who, by whatever rationale, determined that they deserved monopolistic control over something, to allow them to skim off the produce and labour of others to their benefit. There is no "theory" about it; anything done in secret was not done for the benefit of the common man, woman or child. Secrecy in fact is always suspect and is never any good for anything. People know this in their personal lives, why should it be any different when considering the affairs of large business concerns or nation states?
Before deciding how to construct something that will benefit ALL the people; a worldwide network of local private Riegel exchanges, we must confront our histories and the denizens of this ruling elite who are still there doing what they have always been doing. Without a renewed perspective, it becomes impossible to see clearly what must be done as we move forward.

Deconstruction Six Million Holo-Myths
Exploring the Occult Origins of Crucial Holocaust Dogma
By Dr. Harrell Rhome
For research purposes please go to the pdf file of this article because the correct Hebrew letters could not be reproduced in htm format.
There are numerous outstanding articles and books that do an excellent job of debunking the so-called Holocaust; consequently I have not approached the topic before. Then I re-read Holocaust Dogma Of Judaism (see postscript) and some other esoteric works, and saw that there is more to say, particularly from certain perspectives. I take a rather atypical analytical approach, making use of psychology, metaphysics, mysticism and magic, Talmudic traditions, Kabalistic gematria, literary deconstructionism and revisionist historiography. From this unique perspective, I shall lay bare, deconstruct and demystify the occult origin and purposes of this very special, and exactly precise number of 6,000,000 Holocaust deaths.
Globalist Jews
Real Currencies
Yes, the Money Power is Jewish
Every researcher, author and reformer concerned with the monetary is confronted with the politically incorrect fact that the Money Power is Jewish. Should we circumvent the issue to avoid scaring people away from the all-important monetary issue?
Probably not. Let’s stay as close to truth as possible. It ultimately brings the greatest chance of success.
Keith Gardner of the highly informative Liberty Revival Blog recently penned a short and forceful article titled ‘Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech‘. In it he basically states his position on ‘antisemitism’: the notion that the world is ruled by Jewish people. Gardner says for him this ‘antisemitism’ is unacceptable and unnecessary, even damaging to monetary reform.
Since I’m quite certain he had me amongst others in mind when writing the article and since he actually touches upon an important subject, I’ll respond to this. I know Gardner respects Real Currencies, but he does not want to associate himself with the rather direct approach. I have absolutely no problems with his statement, understand where he is coming from and continue to appreciate his powerful work.
I would like to suggest that Gardner is struggling with the issue himself. Of course it is not wise to speculate on the intentions or inner feelings of others, but in this case I fear not doing so because I’ve struggled with the same thing for ever. Henry Makow also needed years to admit the Illuminati are basically Jewish Supremacism, co-opting gentile competitors for World Power through Freemasonry and intermarriage. Just read his pre 2008, 2009 work, you’ll see he named the conspiracy in just about every way possible, before eventually settling for the ‘Illuminati Jews’ mode.
Gardner even goes as far to say he won’t allow ‘antisemitic’ comments on his site. That’s his good right of course, but his original position seemed more logical to me: just state you don’t agree, but allow ‘antisemitic’ comments. In this way he would not alienate people who would greatly benefit from his thinking, but who have advanced beyond the basic political correct mind control.
Gardner is aware of Jewish over-representation within what he calls the New World Order, but he’s concerned about two things:
1. Does naming them by their real name actually help monetary reform, or does it damage the cause because it scares of people not ready to face these issues yet?
2. The problem that far from all Jews are involved and that naming them ‘the Jews’ does injustice to those not part of the plan.
To begin with point 2: it’s not very complicated.
When we see a few hundred thousand American soldiers, under the orders of the US Federal Government invade some tiny country in the Middle East, we say: America, or Americans have invaded this or that place.
Do we blame all Americans? No.
Do we blame all Americans? No.
Are all Americans partly responsible? If you look closely, you’ll find that 99% or more of Americans are in some way partly responsible for the invasion, even though it would be close to impossible to disentangle themselves from this responsibility. The problem is: we are highly connected and karmically linked to our nation.
So if we have a massive credit crunch and most of the main players are Jewish, is it strange or ‘antisemitic’ to say so? Clearly not. Do we blame all Jews by doing so? Clearly not. But a close look will show that many Jews are in some way in support of the Money Power: through the ‘schule’, the many Zionist organizations or other Jewish groups. Jews cling to the Money Power because they were heavily brainwashed to fear ‘antisemitism’.
Should we allow the Jews a special treatment in avoiding naming their ethnic background when they commit heinous crimes? I don’t see why.
And then the other problem, scaring away the hapless masses when discussing these things. Well, there is a case to be made that some outlets should provide less confrontational material. A gatekeeper like Alex Jones is actually helpful in that respect.
But I write for the initiated, that’s a choice I’ve made when starting this blog. I assume my readers are at least fairly well versed in the ways of the world. Makow tries to reach more people, but the point is: with his level of reporting it is impossible to reach more than the best and brightest individual thinkers out there. People just can’t stomach it until they’re ready themselves.
Another issue is credibility: we may reach the masses, but Alex Jones himself is widely criticized for avoiding the Jewish Question by people who have quit considering the New York Times as a serious outlet.
Another issue is that when more voices break through the Political Correct blanket covering our eyes, it becomes progressively easier for the next to do so too. The peer pressure to support the status quo lessens and a little less isolation is threatened for the brave soul crossing the divide.
By not speaking out, we help contain the masses from the truth. We basically let down our brethren at the forefront of the struggle who do speak out.
Conclusion
It’s difficult to say what’s best. I understand Gardner’s position and suspect he is still struggling with the conflicting data.
Interestingly, Makow just published an excellent article showing how the Jewish Question was a normal topic in the 1920′s. Churchill, for instance, wrote a famous article called ‘Zionism vs Bolshevism’, explaining the Jewish ‘conspiracy’. It was posted on the front page of a leading outlet in 1920.
The Second World War ended this. Just like with Interest Free Currency, ‘antisemitism’ was badly damaged through guilt by association. To me it is obvious that this was a crucial part of the Money Power’s calculations in instigating the war.
It seems likely they rest assured the Jewish Question as a political theme will be put to rest again after the next.
Perhaps this is the most pressing reason to stop ignoring the truth that the Money Power is Jewish.

How Did We Become Such Idiots?
How did we come to be such idiots?
The following essay has an interesting story. The author, a federal prisoner, wrote a very intelligent and insightful letter to us late last February. In it he used the term "idiot" in a very interesting way. In my response, I challenged him to develop the term into something interesting, descriptive and inclusive in such a way as to be informative and useful. What he came up with is not exactly what I had in mind. It’s better. (DWH)
[This article was published in the Idaho-Observer in May of 2009 while I was still in prison. And while Don Harkins edited the piece, he gave me full credit for it. What was interesting about this article is that he published it even though there were some things he initially disagreed with, but published them according to the way I had written the piece. Unfortunately, Don passed away suddenly in September, 2009 after sustaining a very strange leukemia illness. Don was a good man and an outstanding reporter who will be missed by his family, friends, and his readers. I highly recommend the Idaho Observer. (WAT)]
By Walter Allen Thompson
"Why does he act like such an idiot?"
How many times do we ask that question about other people—even about ourselves? There is no shortage of idiots and they are the primary reason it is so difficult (if not impossible) to live on Earth in peace and truth.
Idiot: 1. A person afflicted with idiocy (extreme deficiency of intelligence, commonly due to incomplete or abnormal development of the brain). Idiots are incapable of learning connected speech or of avoiding common dangers in life. 2. A fool; simpleton—a term of reproach (Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary [1947]). Today the term "idiot" is most commonly used as a "term of reproach" while historic idiots are now described as "retarded" or "mentally handicapped." We will be using "idiot" and "idiocy" in the reproachful contexts in common usage today.
Foolishness, stupidity and ignorance are the product of influences that relentlessly attack our sensibilities, faith and equanimity every day of our lives. They attack the well-being of all men. Idiocy induces war and an enormous amount of suffering upon mankind.
The first idiot
Who was the first idiot? As a Christian, I will say that it was Satan. Here is a being who was in heaven, but swore oaths with other angels and sinned against his Creator—eternally damning himself because he wanted to usurp the authority of God (Read Book of Enoch). And when God created man in His own image, Satan was intent on destroying the lives of every man, woman and child.
The choice between good and evil—free will—has always been a part of God’s creation. God did not create evil, but the tendency for Satan and mankind to choose evil has always been present.
Satan became an idiot when he disobeyed God, incurring His wrath. Since misery loves company, Satan spreads the misery by influencing mankind to disobey God’s natural order of life. The "new world order" was started with the first sin and it has continued to this present day.
The march of the idiots
The new world order is the plan of the idiots who are responsible for the death and destruction of the millions (if not billions) of lives memorialized in written history. The reason is because the new world order exists completely outside of God’s natural order. Think of it as God’s natural order completely inverted or reversed: Good became evil and evil became good; darkness is light and light is darkness. In God’s order the strong and the wise came before weak idiots. In the new world order we can plainly see that idiots come before the wise because idiots love death while the wise man loves life.
The worship of images, or "idols," is called "idolatry." The purpose of idolatry, the worship of powerless objects, is to destroy mankind by influencing man to disobey God’s natural order of life, thereby acting like an idiot.
Recently, the monetary and banking systems have been involved in numerous crises and bailouts. When money was made of gold and silver it was strong. But paper debt notes are weak, producing the boom and bust cycles that we have today. Any monetary system that trades debt notes in exchange for goods and services is doomed to eventual failure. Why? The people who designed and are currently running the money system are idiots. In addition, the financial institutions are patronized and regulated by idiots.
Idiot worship
Most people know the histories of Hitler, Stalin, Mao-Tse-Tung and Pol Pot who destroyed the lives of millions. These leaders were idiots. Worse yet is how other idiots look upon the works of these men with favor. This kind of idiocy—murderous leaders and the people who support them—is apparent in our own political system. The same kinds of idiots are in control of the United States. Through idiots in the mass media, the idiots in leadership animate the rank-and-file idiots to do their bidding. The idiots-in-charge derive their relative strength in proportion to the numbers of rank-and-file idiots willing to support—even fight and die—for their idiotic causes.
The idiots’ strength is the force of arms under war powers; it is easier to kill or imprison anyone who questions the motives of the idiots-in-charge. And the idiot’s message is this: "Let our strength be the law of justice."
Idiots have no license
From where do the idiots-in-charge derive their authority? They are not ordained by God because God is not an idiot. They are not ordained of God (as in Romans, Chapter 13) because they break God’s commandments. The idiots have no license to sin or do evil; no one has the authority to usurp God’s law; any claim that idiots proceed with lawful authority is an utter farce: "For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. For he created all things, that they may have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth."
God did not make us in His image to be idiots. I used to think that all men were born evil; they are not. The evil we do is chosen. If we were born evil, then God’s commandments would serve no purpose because it would be impossible to keep them. It is not only possible for a man to keep God’s commandments, but also He expects us to keep them. And this is exactly how we can abide in His natural order.
The idiot will say just the opposite. "But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them..."
The idiot brings evil upon himself because he has contracted with evil to do evil; he acts like an idiot because he is an idiot.
How do we stop being idiots?
While sitting in a prison for the last four years, I realized that I have to stop doing what all the other idiots do. I discovered that my isolation from the outside world was becoming an asset to me because I have had more time to think things through. But all of my actions are my responsibility and there is no excuse for me before God if I do wrong.
I can’t just stop being an idiot without knowing how to guard myself from acting like one. My mind is something that I consciously set out to guard so that I do not lapse back into idiocy. My first line of defense is the eyes. I do not use them to offend God in any way. I don’t look at or read things that will cause my mind to become unsettled. I avoid all forms of material that is offensive to God’s natural order.
I use the same principle with my ears. I try not to hear anything offensive as it will disturb the strength of my inner peace. By consciously guarding my eyes and ears, I can effectively guard my mind and soul. As a result, I’m finding that I can enjoy long periods of time in silence without getting bored.
The key to overcoming idiocy is goodness and virtue. We should be mindful about how we speak about and treat others. By exercising self-control, we can break the idiotic habits of saying and doing things that harm our fellow man. I actually feel good when I get the urge to say something idiotic and then hold my tongue. I’ll admit sometimes it is difficult but I feel good when I can suppress my evil inclination.
What are our obligations to God? Solomon says it in one sentence: "Let us hear the end of all: fear God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man (Eccl. 12: 13-14, Geneva Bible).
The fear of God puts a man’s soul at rest because the man knows his duties to God and he practices them. There is no fear of hell because his obedience to God’s commandments is the source of his confidence, hope, faith and the love for his Creator. On its surface, the fear of God putting a man’s soul at rest seems to be a paradox. I think of it this way: The fear of God is as healthy as not putting my hand into a flame. God will punish evil doers, so why be one?
I don’t fear Satan; I fear God. God makes the judgment; I want to have His favor all of the time. I exercise my own self-control so as to not act like an idiot.
Idiocy’s opposite
The opposite of idiocy is wisdom and with wisdom comes understanding.
"The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord: all they that observe them, have good understanding: His praise endureth forever" (Psalms 111:10).

Swear an Oath; Tell a Lie
I've been thinking about the oath again, and one of the things that has crossed my mind is if a man takes an oath, is he not lying? While he may have all the right intentions, how is it that he knows that he'll be able to keep the oath? The answer is obvious. He cannot know for sure whether or not he will keep it because he cannot accurately predict the future. So when he takes an oath, he is lying. There is no true oath that a man can lawfully take; they are all false. So then a false oath is one taken by a man or woman, and they are false just by their very nature. Only God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth can swear an oath. A man who swears oaths is one who is attempting to usurp the authority of God Himself. This of course is stupid, because the attempt to usurp His authority by swearing oaths is weak and dysfunctional.
Why are the oaths used? The intent of the oath, as all things that are against God, is to destroy mankind. There is no other purpose for it. The oath has a man violate God's law just by taking it. The oath is an act of idolatry, and it is so commonplace, that its presence is hardly noticed. Yet, it is present in almost all political and religious systems. The only religious system that forbids it is true scriptural Christianity.
The oath is the primary tool of antichrist to destroy mankind and ruin his life in so many ways. It sets mankind upon the path of evil; disabling him from doing any good for himself because the oath is the oath of bondage. it binds the soul to a bond; it is the worst thing a man can do to himself. Those people in the United States, in the political system, who are on the "right" or on the "left" always speak about their oaths to the system. What they do not realize is that the oath is the major component of death and hell. The U.S. Constitution could have been written without the oath, but it was put in because those "founding fathers" were subject to antichrist and not the Jesus Christ (the Messiah) of the true scriptures. Thus, the whole political and legal systems are bad religion rather than a type of politically system. In this case, religion and politics are intimately intertwined by the oath; it is the common denominator when reduced to its lowest form of evil.
Swearing oaths offends our Creator. If there is a quick and easy way for a man to put himself in hell, the oath would be the primary tool to get the job done. And this is why nothing good gets accomplished within the religious and political systems of the world who use the oath. It is very clear in the Gospel of Matthew that a man is not to swear any oaths, yet this is done over and over again, every day of the year. Think about it, it would have been just as easy to write the Constitution without the oath. If they wanted a system like the one they had, why use the oath? I think this is the key to satanic "authority". Evil comes from Satan, Satan is evil, Satan and his angels swore an oath to offend God, and the rest is history. The oath is a symbol of fealty that binds a man to the authority of Satan. This should explain why everything is so confused and chaotic in the world's religious and political systems. Thus, the Constitution of the united States, using the oath, becomes a bankruptcy, tax, and slave document. It is not the document of freedom so many people are led to believe. And it is the oath that pushes it over the edge from being acceptable to God our Creator, to nothing more than a dysfunctional document founded upon the principles (or lack thereof) of Lucifer.
The swearing of oaths is the major problem of man in keeping away from evil. The remedy is quite simple: don't swear any more oaths. This is what repentance and amending our lives is all about. If most people would understand this, life in all countries would become more tolerable. But under the oath, we subject ourselves to the most evil and decrepit existence that we can every imagine. Because it sets the whole course of mankind upon the path of death and hell. There is no other way to say it. There is no virture in any oath taken by a man; only God the Creator has the capacity of taking an oath.
There is no power for a man in taking an oath because it always leads to evil; destruction of his body and soul. There is no other purpose in it. The oath taking is designed to bring upon himself death and hell, and it does do a very efficacious job. It is one of the easiest things to stop doing. However, it would put the recalcitrant government and religious systems into utter chaos, as they are the ones who depend upon each and every one of us to becomes slaves to their stupid and feudal system of evil and debauchery.
Unfortunately, most of us do not know exactly how to extract ourselves from such a system.
While we cannot stop other people from being stupid for swearing oaths, each one of us can manage our own behavior by simply refusing any form of oaths.
Here are some of the consequences in the refusal of oaths. You will be on the first step to repentance:
You will not be able to vote; as if it did any good to begin with. You will stop offending God.
You will have to scratch off the "under the penalties of perjury" from any form such as a signature card at a bank.
Your life will get better in ways you would have never imagined.
Your soul will improve and heal from the spiritual rot of the oath.
You will acquire a better disposition and will build up your character.
It will set your life on a more reasonable course by being obedient to His commandments.
by not swearing oaths, a man or woman will avoid a lot of misery from future torment because all sins have the payback from God. The bond of slavery will be gone, and the peace and truth that comes with living within God's natural order will start to flourish in your life. Of course, it is important to keep all of God's commandments, but for this article, the oath is the one thing that puts everything on the darkside.
The oath has its place in the more capable hands of the God who created us, and not in the unfit hands of evil men. In my opinion, a false oath is the one that is taken by a man; a valid oath is one that is performed by God. Man cannot rise up to God's level because he is a created being. But in order to live a godly life, the oath must be left behind. Remember, if you decide to keep doing it, don't expect your life to get any better, because it won't. But there is a profound inner peace when the oath is gone. This is an outstanding way to begin to a complete repentance, and to start keeping His commandments.

There appears to be another oath within the Acts of Pilot which is odd because in the beginning of the piece, the Jews who were on the side of Jesus Christ said swearing oaths was unlawful for them. If an oath was included in the writing, then it was probably inserted by an apostate. Please note the words in The Didache: "Thou shalt not swear."
etiology
The study of causes or origins
The branch of medicine that deals with the causes or origins of disease
Assignment of a cause, an origin, or a reason for something
The cause or origin of a disease or disorder as determined by medical diagnosis
Not to be confused with Etymology, the study of the history of words.
This article is about philosophy and mythology. For medicine, see etiology (medicine).
[Late Latin aetiologia, from Greek aitiologiā: aitiā, cause + -logiā, -logy.]
etiologic e'ti·o·log'ic (-ə-lŏj'ĭk) or e'ti·o·log'i·cal adj.
etiologically e'ti·o·log'i·cal·ly adv.
etiologist e'ti·ol'o·gist n.
Etiology (alternatively aetiology, aitiology /iːtiˈɒlədʒi/) is the study of causation, or origination. The word is derived from the Greek αἰτιολογία, aitiologia, "giving a reason for" (αἰτία, aitia, "cause"; and -λογία, -logia). [1]
The word is most commonly used in medical and philosophical theories, where it is used to refer to the study of why things occur, or even the reasons behind the way that things act, and is used in philosophy, physics, psychology, government, medicine, theology and biology in reference to the causes of various phenomena. An etiological myth is a myth intended to explain a name or create a mythic history for a place or family.
Mythology
Main articles: Origin myth and Founding myth
An etiological myth, or origin myth, is a myth intended to explain the origins of cult practices, natural phenomena, proper names and the like. For example, the name Delphi and its associated deity, Apollon Delphinios, are explained in the Homeric Hymn which tells of how Apollo carried Cretans over the sea in the shape of a dolphin (delphis) to make them his priests. While Delphi is actually related to the word delphus ("womb"), many etiological myths are similarly based on folk etymology (the term "Amazon", for example). In the Aeneid (published circa 17 BC), Vergil claims the descent of Augustus Caesar's Julian clan from the hero Aeneas through his son Ascanius, also called Iulus. The story of Prometheus' sacrifice-trick in Hesiod's Theogony relates how Prometheus tricked Zeus into choosing the bones and fat of the first sacrificial animal rather than the meat to justify why, after a sacrifice, the Greeks offered the bones wrapped in fat to the gods while keeping the meat for themselves.

Papal Theonomy & America Today
By Ronald Cooke
Preface
In this brief study I look at the religion of North America today. I try to examine the attempt of the Christian Coalition to bring America back to a Christian Culture. I look at the idolatry in the Roman Catholic Church; at the goals and power of the papacy; at the repudiation of the Reformation; at the impact of Jesuit teachings; and at the confusion which seems to exist among those who would class themselves as God's people in America today.
This study is far from exhaustive. It is merely a few suggestions that should cause the reader at least to think again about what is going on in the United States in 1996.
