"But this present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for long. Already there are powerful forces at work that threaten to destroy all of our hopes and efforts to erect an enduring structure of global interdependence."

---David Rockefeller, speaking at the Business Council for the United Nations, September 14, 1994

Most of David’s unabashed statements need little or no commentary, except perhaps the summary: Super national sovereignty of world bankers and an intellectual elite riding herd over a billion or so human cattle (they often use that term) surely seems preferable to the handful at the top—ALL the worlds resources owned by a cabal of predators who lord over everyone else...that hardly sounds sustainable. Cattle often find a way to stampede, eventually.

And so gracious of David to laud CorpoMedia for betraying humanity—or at least the 90% of us who must die, and the winnowed herd to remain. Catastrophe is on the horizon and all we get from CorpoMedia are omission, lies, propaganda, and omission; they are owned by the elite, a tool of subjection and conquest that provides not the information people need, but rather, what the elite want people to believe. Our greatest enemies swirl among us in ostentatious luxury, and right now their main weapon is our "free and independent press"...or is that "liberal press"?

Thanks, Rand

You seem to have a real grasp of this issue (not just the MSM's sellout, but the end of America), so would you consider writing a really good science/future novel that covers say, the next 10 or 20 years? Would it focus on a local situation and people, or have a panoramic view of the world, or both?

Easy for me to ask you to do it, why don't I do it myself? I've tried, but it is too big for me. Too many contingencies, when any one unforeseen event, say in 2008, could alter the entire rest of the story. This sounds like a description of reality, not fiction. Anyway, good article.

Excellent article

Rand, an excellent article. To the predatory Illuminati super-elite we are just two legged animals and they intend to thin the herd. This is reflective of evil at the highest level (perhaps I should say the LOWEST level); reflective of a satanic core at the very heart of those driving us to World War III. The battle, that we have been witnessing in the world for the creation of the New World Order, is economic, political, cultural, social, military, and most importantly spiritual in nature.

Voices of Vires

Jay, I have already written Voices of Vires, a science fiction novel that somewhat fits into the framework you describe. The book is currently available only online from StarChief Press:

Thank you very much for the encouragement.

Your kindness and clarity

Lord Stirling,

Your vision is certainly precise. I suppose you knew of the Georgia Guidestones...and of the energies expended by well-meaning people to demolish them. Energy wasted attacking the symbol does not touch the true enemy. The ability to think clearly seems to be fleeing Americans.

Thank you for your kindness and clarity.

There is nothing mainstream about it.

I call it crook media because it is so obviously manipulated to conceal.

Goodbye and Good Riddance

As an american I can see your lamenting of the loss of the USA but from the point of view of the rest of the world no lamentations are required. all you have to do is look at the history of the U.S. involvement in the wars and rumours of war that have plagued the world in the last 50 or more years and you will see the wonderful influence of the U.S. doing what it does best: destroying, killing, plundering, raping and pillaging. Every scene of destructive conflict during that time has the U.S. involved whether secretly through the CIA or blatently as in the Vietnam war. Thje world will be a much better place once America is removed from the sands of time. Sorry but you are responsible for most of the horrors the world has endured during the last 50 years. WHY?

American Expat in Asia

You do not understand

The evil that America has done while pretending to do good has been under the umbrella of the globalist power elite who are behind Globalization and Free Trade movement of the last 200 years. The US as a superpower may be toast, but the military and financial terrorists will just be handed over to it's successor, most likely the UN, and the power elite in the shadows will be bigger and stronger than ever. Fascism is spreading everywhere, like wildfire. Wherever you are, you will not be free of this evil. It's coming for you, if it's not already got you.

Thanks

Thank you for revealing the truth behind what is happening to our world and why our government ignores the will of the people.

Ten Commandments

5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

Nothing wrong with that. Only problem is the elites have no interest in fair laws and just courts.

6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

Nothing wrong with that one. Nations already rule internally and already resolve external disputes in international courts.

9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.

That sounds great. The truth is very important. So are beauty and love. However the elites have no interest in truth, beauty, love, and harmony. All they care about is controlling the whole world for their own selfish interests.

number 7

Nothing wrong with getting rid of petty laws and useless officials. However I don't trust the elites to decide which laws are petty and which officials are useless.
