When the new faith went forth to conquer the pagan world for the Messiah, the "pious" Greek fathers and priests of the burgeoning Catholic Church felt the need of something more up-to-date than the Old Testament texts; they needed something concrete out of the New Dispensation to "show" to the superstitious pagans to win them over to the Messiah and his church: something tangible, visible; compellingly authentic proofs. Like arms of proof for the holy warfare, the invincible weapons of truth...the whole armour of God...they forged outright for the conquest of the unbeliever.

— Joseph Wheless; Forgery in Christianity (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

The Catholic church, which so far has been the implacable enemy of all freedom of thought and has resolutely opposed any idea of this world being governed by advance toward the recognition of truth...Psychoanalytic research is in any case the subject of suspicious attention from Catholicism. I do not maintain that this suspicion is unmerited. If our research leads us to a result that reduces religion to the status of a neurosis of mankind and explains its grandiose powers in the same way as we should a neurotic obsession in our individual patients, then we may be sure we shall incur in this country the greatest resentment of the powers that be...violent methods of suppression are by no means alien to the Catholic church.

— Sigmund Freud; Moses and Monotheism (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

When outraged reformers objected, one cardinal defended the practice [allowing murderers to buy pardons] on the ground that "the Lord desireth not the death of the sinner but rather that he live and pay."

— Leonard Schlain; The Alphabet Versus the Goddess (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

During the early period of the Christian movement the multitude of often contradictory texts was so great that the young Church saw only one way of preserving the faith from splitting into numerous sects: assembling a canon of writings and destroying rejected apocryphal (hidden) texts.

— Elmer H. Gruber; The Original Jesus (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

In 1139 the Church began calling councils to condemn the Cathars and all who supported them. By 1179 Alexander III proclaimed a crusade against these enemies of the Church promising two years' indulgence, or freedom from punishment for sins, to all who would take up arms, and eternal salvation for any who would die...The savagery of the thirty-year-long attack decimated Langedoc. At the Cathedral of St. Nazair alone 12,000 people were killed. Bishop Folque of Toulouse put to death 10,000. When the crusaders fell upon the town of Beziers and the commanding legate, Arnaud, was asked how to distinguish Catholic from Cathar, he replied:"Kill them all, for God knows his own!" Not a child was spared...The Albigensian crusade killed an estimated one million people, not only Cathars but much of the population of southern France.

— Helen Ellerbe; The Dark Side of Christian History (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

The [Roman Catholic] Church burned enormous amounts of literature. In 391 Christians burned down one of the world's greatest libraries in Alexandria, said to have housed 700,000 rolls. All the books of the Gnostic Basilides, Porphyry's 36 volumes, papyrus rolls of 27 schools of the Mysteries, and 270,000 ancient documents gathered by Ptolemy Philadelphus were burned. Ancient academies of learning were closed. Education for anyone outside of the Church came to an end.

If the Code clearly made people liable to file income tax returns, would the IRS go around <em>bothering</em> people and creating needless work for itself by asking people to "explain" to them why they are "not required to file" income tax returns? Why didn't the IRS send me a "notice" asking me to "explain" to them why I am "not required to file" wagering tax returns, tobacco tax returns or any of the other returns that I might "not be required to file?" <strong>How transparent does this hoax have to be?</strong>

— Irwin Schiff; The Federal Mafia view

To successfully perpetrate a scam of this magnitude, hundreds of Code sections had to be written and pieced together in such a way that, while no section technically misstated the law or violated the Constitution, the sections, individually and collectively, had to be written to allow the Government to do just that. Those responsible knew exactly what they were doing. They were creating the greatest deception the world has ever seen.

— Irwin Schiff; The Federal Mafia view

It has been widely publicized that many American corporations pay no income tax at all. I believe that General Dynamics, a corporation that generates approximately $7 billion in annual income, was (and perhaps still is) one of those. Well those American corporations that pay no income taxes <em>certainly have an income</em> - or else they would have to close their doors. So, why don't they pay a tax on that <em>income</em> - if we have an "income" tax? They don't pay any income taxes because they don't show a <em>profit!</em> If they show a profit they pay a tax <em>on that profit</em> - which is proof that we have is a <strong>profits tax</strong> - not an income tax. Yet individuals, unlike corporations, are conned into paying a tax on their income - regardless of whether or not they have a profit!

— Irwin Schiff; The Federal Mafia view

I never withheld income taxes including Social Security taxes (which, despite its name, is just another income tax.), nor did I ever provide W-9's to those to whom I paid commissions, nor did I ever report such payments to the government. The government knew it and never did anything about it. Collection taxes is the government's business, not mine.

— Irwin Schiff; The Federal Mafia view

1. How I could file a federal income tax return without waiving any of my constitutional rights.
2. Whether the government could compel me to pay a tax levied in violation of the three taxing clauses of the Constitution.
3. That if the tax were not being levied in violation of those clauses, then to please identify for me the specific constitutional clause or clauses that governed its imposition.

— Irwin Schiff; The Federal Mafia view

So all federal taxes can only be lawfully levied on either one basis or the other. If they represent a direct tax, they must be apportioned. If they represent an indirect tax, they must be geographically uniform. Since the income tax is levied neither as an apportioned, direct tax nor as a "duty, impost, or excise," it falls into none of the taxing clauses of the Constitution and because of this <strong>it can not be levied as a mandatory tax!</strong>

HAARP is the world's largest electromagnetic broadcasting station, composed of 180 high frequency broadcast antennae, with power estimated at 72,000 times more than the next most powerful radio transmitter. The project is the creation of the U.S. Air Force Phillips Lab, the Naval Research Laboratory, and the Office of Naval Research. Although announced as a facility for ionospheric research, HAARP seems to have a number of other potential uses, including weather control and electromagnetic sweeps that can be used for mind control of large populations.

Ignorance was helpful to the spread of the faith; so ignorance was fostered. Richard Payne Knight, in his book, A Discourse on the Worship of Priapus, says, "Men are superstitious in proportion as they are ignorant, and ... those who know least of the principles of religion are the most earnest and fervent." In keeping western Europe as ignorant as possible, however, the church lost much of its history. Even contemporary events went inaccurately reported, or altogether unnoted. Events of the past were absurdly garbled. All the public knew of history was provided by bards, who tried to maintain the druidic tradition of rote-learning, with indifferent success.

— Barbara G. Walker; The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets view

Fathers of the church seemed cynically aware that public ignorance worked in their favor. Gregory of Nazianzus wrote to St. Jerome thus: "A little jargon is all that is necessary to impose upon the people. The less they comprehend, the more they admire. Our forefathers and doctors have often said, not what they thought, but what circumstances and necessity dictated."

In an effort to escape problems having to do with jurisdiction, much CIA experimentation during the MKULTRA era was conducted in Canada and in other foreign countries.

— Jim Keith; Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness view

The CIA and its successor agencies such as the National Security Agency must be not seen as instruments for furthering American security, but as arms of the planetary controllers for maintaining their own dominion. These agencies primarily further the elitists' own interests, including the implementation of plans of eugenics, social control, monopolistic control of resources, and other forms of the suppression of the masses worldwide.

— Jim Keith; Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness view

Among the areas investigated during MKULTRA were: brain surgery including lobotomy; the use of electrical and chemical shock; the effects of stress on human beings, including hunger, fear, fatigue, duress, and torture; narcoanalysis; handwriting analysis; ultrasonic, subsonic, and vibrational disorientation and control; interrogation techniques; drugs that induced speech and amnesia, sensory deprivation and "electrosleep"; radiation; genetic research including gene splicing and the creation of mutations; ESP; various forms of brainwashing; personality assessment; concussions produced by remote control; brain implants and electrodes; the use of prostitutes as agents; hormonal and glandular products; gases; poisons; drug agents that could be sprayed; and drugs, including LSD, amphetamines, morphine, nicotine, ether, psychedelic mushrooms, barbiturates, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. At least four of the MKULTRA programs were specifically conducted on children. This is the vast sub-structure of MKULTRA experimentation that has for the greater part been successfully concealed by the Agency.

Curiously, another MKULTRA faction consisted of representatives of the Scottish Rite of Masonry, which had sponsored research into eugenics, psychiatry, and mind control since at least the 1930s. MKULTRA doctor Robert Hanna Felix was director of psychiatric research for the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and the director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Felix was the immediate senior of Dr. Harris Isbell, already noted in relation to MKULTRA.

The following is a listing of early major CIA mind control experimentation with brief descriptions, as documented in the Congressional record in 1977, by the Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research of the Committee on Human Resources:

MKDELTA: This was apparently the first project established by the CIA in October, 1952, for the use of biochemicals in clandestine operations. It may never have been implemented operationally.

MKULTRA: This was a successor project to MKDELTA established in April, 1953, and terminating some time in the

late 1960s, probably after 1966. This program considered various means of controlling human behavior. Drugs were only one aspect of this activity.

MKNAOMI: This project began in the 1950s and was terminated in 1969. This may have been a successor to MKDELTA. Its purpose was to stockpile severely incapacitating and lethal materials, and to develop gadgetry for the dissemination of these materials.

MKSEARCH: This was apparently a successor project to MKULTRA, which began in 1965 and was terminated in 1973. The objective of the project was to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior in a predictable manner through the use of drugs.

MKCHICKWIT: This was apparently a part of the MKSEARCH program. Its objective was to identify new drug developments in Europe and Asia and to obtain information and samples.

MKOFTEN: This was also apparently a part of the MKSEARCH project. Its objective was to test the behavioral and toxicological effects of certain drugs on animals and humans.

Basic to the financing of mind control projects, Nelson Rockefeller merged three federal corporations into the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and HEW and its sub-agency the National Institute of Mental Health were used to fund ARTICHOKE and other early CIA mind control projects. Other agencies involved in research into people manipulation at the time included the Defense Department, the National Science Foundation, the Veteran's Administration, the Department of Labor, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration.

CIA mind control experimentation emerged full-blown under Project BLUEBIRD in 1947, that sought an "exploitable alteration of personality," through testing a wide variety of drugs, under the supervision of Security operator Morse Allen. At the same time the U.S. Navy was doing its own drug experimentation under Project CHATTER, a project that sought a "truth drug." In 1950, LSD was used on suspected double agents and North Korean prisoners of war under the auspices of BLUEBIRD, and Morse Allen requested of his boss Paul Gay nor that the CIA acquire what was termed an 'electro-sleep' machine that had been built at a Richmond, Virginia hospital.

The OSS, run by Donovan, was terminated in 1945, with American intelligence operations taken over by Allen Dulles and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

— Jim Keith; Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness view

A study of control must draw a tight focus on the programs of American intelligence agencies. General William "Wild Bill" Donovan in 1940 is believed to have been the first person to call attention to the need for an American psychological warfare division. Thus is explained the beginning of the Office of the Coordinator of Strategic Services (COI), that became the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in 1942. The COI from its inception was a black operation run by Donovan, with little governmental scrutiny applied to the way it used its funds.

The greatest travesty perpetrated by the destroyers of the Irish Church was the obliteration of the central tenet of all Druidic teaching concerning the sanctity of the self. The doctrine of selfhood was the number one greatest threat to the Roman Church.

Technology disappeared as the Church became the most cohesive power in Western society. The extensive aqueducts and plumbing systems vanished. Orthodox Christians taught that all aspects of the flesh should be reviled and therefore discouraged washing as much as possible. Disease became commonplace as sanitation and hygiene deteriorated. For hundreds of years, towns and villages were decimated by epidemics. Roman central heating were also abandoned

The Roman Church, in her endeavor to blot out the history of the past ages in order to conceal a great deception, destroyed whatever she may have had of literature, and since her acquisition of the Irish Church and institutions, she has appropriated the name and works of Irish authors to enrich her reputation for learning and culture and to build up a fictitious galaxy of distinguished sons to ornament her escutcheon

The story of the Roman Church is quite different and not a pleasant one to dwell upon. She made her advance through the medium of intrigue, war, fire and sword, persecution, torture, confiscations, and death, the exemplification of force and intolerance. By such means she gained control and increase in power and the Irish Church missionaries were gradually forced to withdraw from the continent. It was only by such forcible means that she could make gains against the Irish Church whose representatives surpassed hers in every field of peaceful endeavor...in learning, the sciences, philosophy and spiritual culture

[Carl] Bernstein noted a longstanding relationship of the Agency [CIA] with the CBS network, and former CIA director Allen Dulles' friendship with CBS' president, CFR member William Paley. The president of CBS News from 1954 to 1961, CFR member Sig Mickelson, acted as Paley's liaison with the CIA, using a direct telephone line that bypassed the network switchboard and connected directly with the Agency. The chief directors and news anchors of CBS have also been CIA-connected, according to Bernstein.

During the 1950s American mass media interlocked directly with the CIA, the Agency feeding information to journalists in exchange for their own intelligence developed domestically and abroad. Reporters were employed by the CIA to deliver communiques as well as money to contacts, and to tow the Agency line in their own dispatches. The CIA even ran a training program teaching reporting skills to agents.

It is virtually impossible to determine the exact number of American journalists who are currently on the CIA or other intelligence agency payrolls—much less who are informally slipped information—but in 1977 Carl Bernstein, in an article for Rolling Stone, guessed the number at that time to be about 400.

Dr. William Sargent of the Tavistock Institute, reported to have been at the time working in the CIA's MKULTRA mind control program, in his 1957 book Battle for the Mind— A Physiology of Coversion and Brain-Washing elaborated on Lewin's theories by stating:

"Various beliefs can be implanted in many people after brain function has been sufficiently disturbed by accidentally or deliberately induced fear, anger, or excitement. Of the results caused by such disturbances, the most common one is temporarily impaired judgement and heightened suggestibility. Its various group manifestations are sometimes classed under the heading of 'herd instinct,' and appear most spectacularly in wartime, during severe epidemics, and in all similar periods of common danger, which increase anxiety and so individual and mass suggestibility."

Initially run by British military intelligence officer Major John Rawlings, from its inception Tavistock was intended as a coordinating center for planetary social control using "psychological shock troops," a term coined by Reese. These shock troops in white lab coats have fanned out across the planet, infiltrating organizations in order to implement policies deemed productive by the organization's strategists.

One prominent locus of world control—its influence spreading through the media, the scientific establish ment, corporations, governments, and the military-is the Tavistock Institute. Tavistock, a collaborative effort of British military intelligence and the psychiatric establishment, was created in 1921 reportedly on the orders of members of the Royal Institute of International Affairs (also known as Chatham House). The RIIA is an arm of the British Rhodes Round Table group, founded by British imperialist and Freemason Cecil Rhodes. The Round Table, functioning through a myriad of offshoots, has been this century's most effective proponent for the creation of a one world government. Tavistock relies on grants for its operations from the Rockefellers, Carnegies, the British Home Office, and large anonymous grants.

The desire of the Vatican mythographers was to falsely situate the seat of culture in the Middle-East and as far away from the Atlantic zone as possible.

The Mossad has a tremendous advantage over other intelligence services in that every country in the world has a large Jewish community, which is useful.

The Mossad also has the advantage of having access to the records of all U.S. law enforcement agencies and U.S. intelligence services. The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) services the Mossad at no cost to Israel. Citizens of the United States would be shocked, angered and dismayed if ever it was disclosed just how much the Mossad knows about the lives of millions of Americans in every walk of life, even those who are not political in any way.

By 1937 De Beers had stockpiled some 40 million carats, about a 20-years supply. Threatened with bankruptcy, he decided to create a market himself. Oppenheimer sent his son Harry to New York to work with Madison Avenue strategists on a campaign touting the four "C's" of diamond perfection -- cut, color, clarity and carat -- helping sales to increase more than 50 percent in two years. A new custom was declared - diamond engagement rings -- with the slogan "a diamond is forever."

— Dr. John Coleman; The Committee of 300 view

Cecil Rhodes, the founder of De Beers, got his start by renting water pumps to miners during the diamond rush that started in 1871, when an 83.5 carat diamond was found on Colesburg Kopje (present day Kimberley), South Africa. He invested the profits of this operation into buying up claims of small mining operators, with his operations soon expanding into a separate mining company. He soon secured funding from the Rothschild family, who would finance his business expansion. De Beers Consolidated Mines was formed in 1888 by the merger of the companies of Barney Barnato and Cecil Rhodes, by which time the company was the sole owner of all diamond mining operations in the country. In 1889, Rhodes negotiated a strategic agreement with the London-based Diamond Syndicate, which agreed to purchase a fixed quantity of diamonds at an agreed price, thereby regulating output and maintaining prices

Today, people believe they are well informed, but what they do not realize is that the opinions they believe are their own, are in fact, created by the research institutions and think tanks of America, and that none of us is really free to form our own opinions because the information provided by the media and the pollsters, never allows the public full access to all information.

It was confirmed by the postwar degradation of personal relationships. Divorce and cheating on one's wife happened more frequently. This beautiful concept of women on a pedestal, women soft and feminine, with a lovely voice filled with cadences, the flower of God's creation, the mystery of womanhood, was a vanishing ideal. In her place came the strident, loud, vulgar stranger with clattering grating speech such as would be aped and made popular by radio broadcasting and later, television shows. Nobody could possibly know that this decline was the end product of Tavistock having declared war on Western womanhood.

Some of the leading "stars" especially created for this purpose by the Social Science scientists at Tavistock were "Madonna," Kate Moss and Britney Spears. Many of today's so-called "stars" in the movie business, stage and theater, the fashion industry, talk show hosts on such popular series as "Oprah" "Dr. Phil" and game shows such as Bob Barker of "the Price is Right," "Rosie O'Donnell" and Ellen DeGeneres would be unhappy to learn that they are merely the end-product of Edward Bernays (the nephew of Sigmund Freud) H.V.

If only the public really understood the meaning of this grandiose scheme to establish a United Nations or organization and to make the United States a member of it would never have been proposed in the first instance. A vote for this measure is a vote for permanent underwriting with the sweat and toil of our people for the economies of other so-called member nations of this organization -- with the blood of our sons and daughters and for the preservation of British imperialism.

The nucleus of this international organization is a military alliance between the United States and Great Britain, the rest being mainly window dressing.

Also a vote for this proposal is to give approval to world Communism. Why else would it have the full support of all shades of Communism everywhere? This strikes at the very heart of the Constitution. It provides that the power to declare war shall be taken away from the Congress and given to the President. Here is the essence of dictatorship; the control over all else must inevitably follow. The president is to be given absolute power to at any time he elects, and upon any pretext whatsoever, snatch our sons and daughters away from their homes to fight in battle (Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Bosnia) not only for as long as he pleases but as may suit the majority of the members of the international organization.

Of this Mosheim writes, "The council assembled by Constantine at Nice, is one of the most famous and interesting events that are presented to us in ecclesiastical history; and yet, what is most surprising, scarcely any part of the history of the church has been unfolded with such negligence, or rather passed over with such rapidity."

During the 1820s, popular sentiment shifted back tot he laissez-faire and sound-money principles espoused by the Jeffersonian Republicans. But since the Republican Party had by then abandoned those principles, a new coalition was formed, headed by Martin Van Buren and Andrew Jackson, to resurrect them. It was called the Democratic Party, and one of its agenda items was to abolish the [Second] Bank of the United States. After Jackson was elected to the Presidency in 1828, he wasted no time in attempting to build Congressional support for that goal.

Round Table members were once again working <em>both</em> sides of the conflict [Russian Revolution] to weaken and topple a target government. Tsar Nicholas had every reason to believe that, since the British were Russia's allies in the war against Germany, British officials would be the last persons on Earth to conspire against him. Yet, the British Ambassador himself represented the hidden group which was financing the regime's downfall.

The Round Table agents from America did not have the advantage of using the diplomatic service as a cover and, therefore, had to be considerable more ingenious. They came, not as diplomats or even as interested businessmen, but disguised as Red Cross officials on a humanitarian mission. [...] They simply had overpowered the American Red Cross organization with large contributions and, in effect, purchased a franchise to operate in its name.

The institution of the Holy Roman Emperor, founded by Charlemagne in 800, was built on the ideal of a world leader who with the Pope's blessing held Christendom together and defended the faith. This ideal was shining less brightly by the beginning of the seventeenth century. No Holy Roman Emperor had been crowned between 1530 and Rudolf II's coronation in 1576, and many of the small kingdoms and princedoms of Germany had become Protestant, which naturally undermined any notion of a Europe united under a Roman Emperor.

The Church grew in power and wealth. It wanted to be the sole keeper of the keys to the Kingdom. The Church had earlier emphasized that an individual has but one life by suppressing teachings on reincarnation and had emphasized one god by suppressing knowledge of its astronomical roots. Now it emphasized the unity of the disembodied parts of the human being. In 869 at the Eighth Ecumenical Council, the Church effectively closed the door to the spirit worlds by abolishing the ancient distinction between the vegetable dimension of the soul and the animal dimension of the spirit. Soul and spirit were declared to be the same thing, and the result of this was that the spirit worlds, formerly encountered in the Mass, would come to seem an empty abstraction.

Experience of the spirit worlds was replaced by dogma to be accepted on authority.

It is too easy to see the church as the evil repressor of free thought and to romanticize outlawed groups and antinomian schools like the Neoplatonists and the Gnostics. From its early history the Church has numbered among its leaders practitioners of black magic and other initiates who have abused their supernatural powers for selfish ends. But it is equally true - and perhaps more important - to say that from the time of St Paul and St Augustine the greatest Church leaders have been initiates of the highest order who have sought to guide humanity according to the divine plan outlined in this book. They knew that it was necessary for any understanding of reincarnation to be suppressed in the West. According to the cosmic plan, the West was to be the cradle for the developing sense of the value of an individual human life.

This symbolism, incorporating initiatic teaching regarding the Sun god, would have been understood by initiates of all religions, so it is perhaps slightly ironic that under the aegis of Constantine, the Church began to suppress initiatic teachings and to reduce its exoteric teachings to dogma. In 325 the Council of Nicea decided which gospels among the many in circulation were the real thing. Imperial edicts also forbad pagan practices. On the Orders of Constantine's sons, women and children were force-fed, their mouths held open by a wooden engine while consecrated bread was stuffed down their throats.

In the final stage of this process, therefore, the FDIC itself runs out of money and turns, first to the Treasury, then to Congress for help. [...] Congress, already deeply in debt, has no money either. It doesn't dare openly raise taxes for the shortfall, so it applies for an additional loan by offering still more Treasury bonds for sale. The public picks up a portion of these I.O.U.s, and the Federal Reserve buys the rest. If there is a monetary crisis at hand and the size of the loan is great, the Fed will pick up the entire issue.

<em>But the Fed has no money either.</em> So it responds by creating out of nothing an amount of brand new money equal tot he I.O.U.s and, through the magic of central banking, the FDIC is finally funded. [...] From there it [the new money] floods through the economy diluting the value of <em>all</em> money and causing prices to rise.

— G. Edward Griffin; The Creature From Jekyll Island view

The FDIC will never have enough money to cover its potential liability for the entire banking system. If that amount were in existence, it could be held by the banks themselves, and an insurance fund would not even be necessary. Instead, the FDIC operates on the same assumption as the banks: that only a small percentage will ever need money at the same time. [...] Typically, the FDIC holds about $1.20 for every $100 of covered deposits. At the time of this writing [~1995], however, that figure had slipped to only 70 cents and was still dropping. [...] The failure of just one or two large banks in the system could completely wipe out the entire fund.

The FDIC "protection" is not insurance in any sense of the word. It is merely part of a political scheme to bail out the most influential members of the banking cartel when they get into financial difficulty.

The space program and all its attendant fields exist because the secret Brotherhood cannot of their own volition leave the planet. The supra-celestial forces have incarcerated them here permanently. The means of their entrapment is the Moon’s orbit, which is a barrier of etheric energy, the nature of which remains largely unknown to them and us. This orbit encloses the Earth, and this is the reason why there have been no manned excursions beyond the Moon. They can go to the Moon but cannot venture beyond, although machines can. This has caused them enormous frustration, and they will not rest until they find the means to break through this energy field. The Moon’s orbit has long been associated with power, protection, and ethereal energies. The Chinese refer to its encirclement as the coils of the “Great Dragon,” and this is what their dragon dances are partly about. Even in modern astrology and astronomy, we have the Moon’s “nodes,” also known as the “circling dragon.”

It has rarely been revealed that the Vatican (one of the most truly Satanic edifices in mankind’s history) has spent literally billions of dollars to give mankind a false notion of Magic and the Black Arts. Their efforts and expenditure go into the making and purveying of popular music and movies which are exploitative and gratuitous and which generate deviant messages about the nature of Satanism. The famous black and white classic horror movies (Dracula, The Mummy, The Werewolf, and Invisible Man, etc.), the “B” movies of the 50s and 60s, and the “slasher” or “occult” movies (The Exorcist, Friday 13th, Halloween, Evil Dead, Poltergeist, The Shining, etc.,) of more recent times, are perfect examples of their artifice. Along with certain popular genres of music which have occult themes and imagery (which may appear anti-Christian), these films and their creators are, in actual fact, surreptitiously funded by the Vatican (also by the Jesuits and the Illuminati) via the record companies, marketing agents, and publicity houses. There is a reason why the pop icon Madonna, for instance, has this moniker and why she constantly displays the cross or crucifix. It is why the imagery in her videos is of the type it is and why she is so personally wealthy. It has to do with whom she and her promoters serve. The same goes for the Rolling Stones (listen to Sympathy for the Devil, 200 Light Years from Home, Midnight Rambler, Paint It Black, Goat's Head Soup, Their Satanic Majesty's Request, etc.,) the Beatles, and the Grateful Dead. And these are but three examples of thousands.

Every agency of the federal government has now been enlisted in the campaign to destroy American industry and production. The principal weapon is the Internal Revenue Service, which seeks out and destroys anyone who is engaged in the productive use of capital. The IRS moves in and confiscates all assets, so the business can never again go into production. This is a deliberate policy; those groups which are cooperating in the campaign to destroy the United States are automatically granted "Tax Exemption' by the IRS, whether through reducing our production capacity, encouraging homosexuality to reduce reproduction, or to defend the United States against its internal or external enemies who are headquartered in Washington. The special fury of the IRS is unleashed against any American who is considered a "patriot" or even a "conservative." Churches and schools which teach Christianity are padlocked by federal agents and their proprietors thrown into prison. Those churches which preach the doctrine of the Masonic Canaanites are immune from such onslaughts. These "patriotic" churches and schools represent a serious threat to the "final solution" which the Canaanites have planned for the people of Shem.

The Illi theocracy went underground during the Roman ascendancy. For about three hundred years Christians were persecuted, churches were held in secrecy. But when Constantine was converted, supposedly by a miracle in which he saw a vision in the sky, the Christian Church came out of hiding and took open secular control in Rome. All the Oracles simultaneously ceased to speak: Christ's words were fulfilled. Power had shifted to the control of the Emperor. The Pope took to himself the prerogative of crowning kings. At this point Christian Scientists claim that the power of healing was lost to the Christians. As worldly power was gained, spiritual power was lost.

The WWF was created for very different reasons. It is a vehicle for controlling wildlife parks in Africa and elsewhere in which terrorist groups and mercenaries can gather, train, and cross borders to bring genocide to places like Rwanda and Burundi. The WWF coordinates and funds the systematic slaughter of people and animals and has made a fortune from the illegal trade in ivory it was supposed to be trying to stop. Much of this is being paid for by donations from the public who think they are supporting wildlife and collected by fund-raisers in the towns and cities who believe the same. The best contribution you can make to the protection of wildlife is to stop funding the WWF in my view.

Schiff would have to infiltrate stooges into both houses of Congress. Stooges powerful enough to railroad Congress into passing such legislation. Equally or even more important; he would have to plant a stooge in the White House a president that is without integrity and without scruples who would sign that legislation into law. To accomplish that he had to get control of either the Republican or the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party was the more vulnerable; it was the hungrier of the two parties. Except for Grover Cleveland; the Democrats had been unable to land one of their men in the White House since before the Civil War. There were two reasons for that:

1. Poverty of the Party.

There were considerably more Republican-minded voters than Democrats. The poverty matter was not a great problem, but the voter problem was a different story. But as I previously said; Schiff was a smart cookie.

Here is the atrocious and murderous method he employed to solve that voter problem. His solution emphasizes how very little the Jewish internationalist bankers care about their own racial brethren as you shall see.

Suddenly; around 1890, there broke out a nationwide series of pogroms in Russia. Many, many, thousands of innocent Jews; men, women, and children were slaughtered by the Cossacks and other peasants. Similar pogroms with similar slaughter of innocent Jews broke out in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria. All those pogroms were fomented by Rothschild agents. As a result; the Jewish terrified refugees from all of those nations swarmed into the United States and that continued throughout the next two or three decades because the pogroms were continuous through all those years. All those refugees were aided by self-styled humanitarian committees set up by Schiff, the Rothschilds, and all the Rothschild affiliates.

In the main; the refugees streamed into New York, but the Schiff-Rothschild humanitarian committees found ways to shuffle many of them into other large cities such as Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles, etc.. All of them were quickly transformed into "naturalized citizens" and educated to register as Democrats. Thus all of that so-called minority group became solid Democratic voter blocks in their communities all controlled and maneuvered by their so-called benefactors. And shortly after the turn of the century; they became vital factors in the political life of our nation. That was one of the methods Schiff employed to plant men like Nelson Aldrich in our Senate and Woodrow Wilson in the White House.

There are three kinds of citizens in America. However, the people of America have only been told about one. We have purposely been kept ignorant about the other two. The first citizenship that a person can hold in this country is to be a citizen of the United States. That is what we are all told that we should be. There is a second one, and that is to be a citizen of the United States of America, which is totally different. A legally, constitutionally established difference in a court of law. If you are citizen of the United States, you are not a citizen of the United States of America. When you understand that this country was founded and the constitution was written, it was based on something called international maritime admiralty law. We call this law today, world law. The World Court is what the United Nations operates under and is international maritime admiralty law today. Our government was founded as a business corporation, as a company. All corporate law says that you have to have a president and a vice president. That is why we have a President and a Vice President. We are told that we have the right to elect, and that is true, but we don't have a right to select, because the corporations decide who is going to run the business. We are experiencing that dilemma right now, in that we can elect, but we cannot select.

When you have a financial loss, just remember that there is just so much money out there out in the world. And, if somebody is losing it, that means it is going somewhere. Therefore, someone is making it. When you see a big stock market crash and everyone loses their money, then somebody else just made a lot of money. Really all that amounts to is that this huge amount of money just changed hands. That is what is happening today. Our country is in bad economic straits because somebody is hoarding all the money.

Rome would fall eventually, but an official Church organized around Christ would prevail, since humans are most easily manipulated by means of religion. Anu never had had such a big project. The Roman Catholic Church would be the next official Anunnaki establishment. To accomplish this, all its priests would have to be celibate, based on the premise that Christ was celibate. Women would have to be disempowered, and the Eucharist would be celebrated by male priests who had never entered a woman. All knowledge of multi-lifetimes would have to be erased so that people would learn to be terrified of death, and fear of death would limit multidimensional contact. This would offer the Anunnaki total dominion of Earth and prevent multidimensional access to humans. All humans would be locked in 3D so that the Anunnaki would not get foiled the next time they orbited back into the solar system in 3600 A.D. This was a dark hour on Earth-the imposition of the Net-and its energy first came over the planet when a terrible thunderstorm wreaked havoc in Jerusalem when Christ died on the cross.

The Internal Revenue Service which collects taxation in America is also a private company, though the public believe it is part of their government. In 1863 the Bureau of Internal Revenue was formed to collect taxation, but in 1933, that year again, came the start of another coup on the American people. Three members of the Prescott Bush circle, Helen and Clifton Barton and Hector Echeverria, formed the Internal Revenue Tax and Audit Service, registered in Delaware, America’s flag of convenience state, where few questions are asked. Prescott Bush was the father of George Bush.

In 1936, this organization changed its name to the Internal Revenue Service and ran as a private company. In 1953, the original Bureau of Internal Revenue was disbanded, leaving the private Internal Revenue Service to collect all the taxes, illegal taxes most of them, too. This is controlled by the same people who own the Federal Reserve and the Virginia Company and it is bleeding America dry. The Internal Revenue Service was, appropriately, created by American Nazis who were funding Adolph Hitler under the coordination of Prescott Bush, George’s father.

To complete the cycle, however, they needed to ensure an endless supply of funds for the government and so they introduced a Federal Income Tax Bill, also in 1913. To do this they needed an amendment, the 16th, to the American Constitution, and that required the consent of at least 36 states. Only two states agreed, but Filander Knox, the Secretary of State, simply announced that the required majority had been achieved and the bill was introduced. To this day the enforced payment of federal income tax is illegal and yet the Brotherhood’s Internal Revenue Service goes on doing that in the United States every day.

The British Crown owns the lands of the united states and the land and institutions of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Service which collects the taxation and the Federal Reserve Board, the privately owned ‘central bank’ of America which lends the government money that doesn’t exist and charges the taxpayers interest on it. The Federal Reserve Board is owned by the same Brotherhood families in Britain and Europe who own the rest of America.

This means that all the rights which applied to the owners of the Virginia Company to the gold, silver, minerals and duties, mined and paid in America, still apply to the British families who own the United States of America and the lands of the united states of America. Those same percentages have been paid since ‘independence’ and are still being paid by the American people via their federal officials who are, in fact, officials of the Virginia Company - yes, including the President.

...But here’s yet another twist. Who owns the assets apparently owned by the Virginia Company? Answer: the Vatican.

When Americans agree to have a social security number the citizens of the united states surrender their sovereignty and agree to become franchisees of the United States (the Virginia Company of the British Crown). So why do they do it? Because they have no idea that this is what they are doing. They are led to believe that there is only one United States and the Federal government is the rightful government. There is no law that says that Americans must pay federal income tax, but they go on paying because they think they have to. The Brotherhood-controlled Internal Revenue Service operates in such a terrorist manner that even most of those who know it’s a scam still pay up because they are terrified not to.

After the original 13 (again!) American colonies won their ‘independence’ and an ‘independent’ country was formed after 1783, the Virginia Company simply changed its name to... the United States of America.

You see there are two USAs, or rather a USA and a usA. The united states of America with a lower case ‘u’ and ‘s’ are the lands of the various states. These lands, as we have seen, are still owned by the British Crown as the head of the old Virginia Company, although there is something to add about this in a moment.

Then there is the United States of America, capital ‘U’ and ‘S’, which is the 68 square miles of land west of the Potomac River on which is built the federal capital, Washington DC and the District of Columbia. It also includes the US protectorates of Guam and Puerto Rico. The United States of America is not a country, it is a corporation owned by the same Brotherhood reptilian bloodlines who owned the Virginia Company, because the USA is the Virginia Company!

In 1604, a group of leading politicians, businessmen, merchants, manufacturers and bankers, met in Greenwich, then in the English county of Kent, and formed a corporation called the Virginia Company in anticipation of the imminent influx of white Europeans, mostly British at first, into the North American continent. Its main stockholder was the reptilian, King James I, and the original charter for the company was completed by April 10th 1606. This and later updates to the charter established the following:

...The Virginia Company comprised of two branches, the London Company and the Plymouth or New England Company...The ‘Pilgrims’ of American historical myth were, in fact, members of the second Virginia Company branch called the New England Company. The Pilgrim Society is still a major elite grouping within the Illuminati..

The Virginia Company owned most of the land of what we now call the USA, and any lands up to 900 miles offshore. This included Bermuda and most of what is now known as the Caribbean Islands. The Virginia Company (the British Crown and the bloodline families) had rights to 50%, yes 50%, of the ore of all gold and silver mined on its lands, plus percentages of other minerals and raw materials, and 5% of all profits from other ventures. These rights, the charters detailed, were to be passed on to all heirs of the owners of the Virginia Company and therefore continue to apply... forever! The controlling members of the Virginia Company who were to enjoy these rights became known as the Treasurer and Company of Adventurers and Planters of the City of London.

After the first 21 years from the formation of the Virginia Company, all ‘duties, imposts, and excises’ paid on trading activities in the colonies had to be paid directly to the British Crown through the Crown treasurer...

The lands of the Virginia Company were granted to the colonies under a Deed of Trust (on lease) and therefore they could not claim ownership of the land...

The monarch, through his Council for the Colonies, insisted that members of the colonies impose the Christian religion on all the people, including the Native Americans...

The criminal courts on the lands of the Virginia Company were to be operated under Admiralty Law, the law of the sea, and the civil courts under common law, the law of the land...

Now, get this. All of the above still applies today!

The ‘father’ of the Royal Society, who was said to be its inspiration before he ‘died’ (or moved locations), was Francis Bacon, the top Rosicrucian, translator of the Bible, and architect of Freemasonry.

The Royal Society stalwarts also included:

Isaac Newton, the Rosicrucian Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, who became a fellow in 1672
Lord Moray, a Scottish Freemason
Elias Ashmole, one of the first registered Freemasons
Andrew Michael ‘Chevalier’ Ramsey, a leading light of Freemasonry, who was admitted to the Royal Society without any scientific qualifications whatsoever
Another fellow was John Byrom, a Freemason and member of the Cabala Club, also known as the Sun Club.

So through the Freemasonic networks, the Royal Society was formed, yet again in London, under a royal warrant from Charles II in 1662. It was the world’s first assembly of scientists and engineers, and it was to be the dominating influence on the direction of ‘science’. Virtually all the early members of the Royal Society were Freemasons who knew that that direction was flawed and untrue. No doubt the same applies today.

The CIA was created by Elite members of British Intelligence during the presidency of the 33rd degree Freemason, Harry S. Truman, the man who officially ordered the bombs to be dropped on Japan.

There appears to be much subtle conditioning that has helped prepare Earth people for certain aliens. However, it is now clear the aliens that have made technology available to the secret government are not benevolent but are our enemies, as they do the abductions, lie, deceive, are generally malevolent and are apparently implementing a very carefully planned covert invasion which includes the brutal and inhumane use of humans and animals for advanced genetic experimentation and crossbreeding.

Bo Gritz, one of America’s most decorated heroes, recently wrote a book called “A Nation Betrayed”. In it he details that when he went over to Southeast Asia to investigate the POW problem, he discovered that the United States Government is the largest purchaser and distributor of heroin and cocaine in the world.

Primarily, the CIA and the Delta security forces (sponsored by the National Reconnaissance Office at Fort Carson, Colorado ) are involved. The process appears to serve two purposes:

1. To eliminate weaker elements of society
2. To provide funds for alien-related and space projects

At one of the meetings between the government and the EBAN, as they called themselves, a treaty was negotiated. The government was aware that the EBAN had a part to play in both the mutilations and the abductions, and probably hoped to find a way to eventually stem the tide of these activities. The EBAN told the government that their abductions of humans were for medical examination purposes. It wasn’t until later that the government realized that the EBAN were lying to them.

The agreement was made, and contained some of the following provisions:

<ol>
<li>The United States would not reveal alien presence and would not interfere with alien operations.</li>
<li>The United States would allow the aliens to maintain underground bases. Old AEC underground facilities were some of the initial facilities to be offered, although larger facilities were built at 26 locations around the southwest.</li>
<li>The United States would allow the aliens to abduct its citizens on a periodic and limited basis for medical examination, providing that the people were returned unharmed and without memory of the interaction.</li>
<li>The aliens would furnish a periodic list of abductees. This list would be reviewed by the National Security Council.</li>
<li>The aliens would provide the United States with technology in beam weaponry, gravitational propulsion and mind control and implant technology. (Implant technology was in use as early as 1964 and legalized in Sweden by Olaf Palme)</li>

In 1952, the government created several special agencies to help with the problem. The National Security Agency (NSA) was created especially to deal with the aliens.

Prior to the Christian Era seven hundred thousand of the most valuable books, written upon parchment, papyrus, vellum, and wax, and also tablets of stone, terra cotta, and wood, were gathered from all parts of the ancient world and housed in Alexandria, in buildings specially prepared for the purpose. This magnificent repository of knowledge was destroyed by a series of three fires. The parts that escaped the conflagration lighted by Cæsar to destroy the fleet in the harbor were destroyed about A.D. 389 by the Christians in obedience to the edict of Theodosius, who had ordered the destruction of the Serapeum, a building sacred to Serapis in which the volumes were kept.

After the decline of the Western Empire, the torment was continued by the emergent Church of Rome, despite appeals from the family who promoted the opposing Nazarene Church of Jesus. They constantly denounced the Roman interpretations of the Virgin Birth and Resurrection, claiming that religion was to be found in the teachings of Jesus - not in the veneration of his person. Furthermore, they pronounced the Apostolic Succession of the Bishops of Rome to be a fraud, since it was claimed to have been handed down from Peter, the first Bishop of Rome. But Peter never held such an office in Rome or anywhere else. This is confirmed in the Church's own Apostolic Constitutions, which state that the first Bishop of Rome was Britain's Prince Linus (son of Caractacus the Pendragon), who was appointed by St Paul in AD 58, during Peter's lifetime.

I read Top Secret Documents while with Naval Intelligence that said President Eisenhower had appointed six of the Executive committee members of the CFR to set on the panel called Majesty Twelve also known as Majority Twelve for security reasons. Majesty Twelve is the secret group that is supposed to control Extraterrestrial information and projects. The documents stated that Eisenhower had also appointed six members from the Executive branch of government who were also members of the CFR. The total membership of Majesty Twelve was nineteen, including Dr. Edward Teller and the six members from the JASON Scientific group. Again, whether this is true or disinformation depends solely upon the existence of aliens.

We are determined, like you, to take possession of the United States and rule them; but we cannot do that without acting secretly and with the utmost wisdom. If our plans are known, they will surely be defeated. What does a skillful general do when he wants to conquer a country? Does he scatter his soldiers over the farm lands, and spend their energy and power in ploughing the fields and sowing grain? No! he keeps them well united around his banners, and marches at their head, to the conquest of the strongholds, the rich and powerful cities. The farming countries then submit and become the price of his victory without moving a finger to subdue them. So it is with us. Silently and patiently, we must mass our Roman Catholics in the great cities of the United States, remembering that the vote of a poor journeyman, though he be covered with rags, has as much weight in the scale of power as the millionaire Astor, and that if we have two votes against his one, he will become as powerless as an oyster. Let us then multiply our votes;; let us call our poor but faithful Irish Catholics from every corner of the world, and gather them into the very hearts of those proud citadels which the Yankees are so rapidly building under the names of Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Cincinnati, ect. Under the shadows of those great cities, the Americans consider themselves a giant and unconquerable race. They look upon the poor Irish Catholic people with supreme contempt, as only fit to dig their canals, sweep their streets and work in their kitchens. Let no one awake those sleeping lions, today. Let up pray God that they may sleep and dream their sweet dreams, a few years more. How sad will their awakening be, when with our out-numbering votes, we will turn them for ever, from every position of honour, power and profit! What will those hypocritical and godless sons and daughters of the fanatical Pilgrim Fathers say, when not a single judge, not a single teacher, not a single policeman, will be elected if he be not a devoted Irish Roman Catholic? What will those so-called giants think of their matchless shrewdness and ability, when not a single Senator or member of congress will be chosen, if he be not submitted to our holy father the Pope! What a sad figure those Protestant Yankees will cut when we will not only elect the President, but fill and command the armies, man the navies and hold the keys of the public treasury? It will then be time for our faithful Irish people to give up their grog shops, in order to become the judges and governors of the land. Then, our poor and humble mechanics will leave their damp ditches and muddy streets, to rule the cities in all their departments, for the stately mansion of Mayor to the more humble, though not less noble position of teacher.

Then, yes! then, we will rule the United States, and lay them at the feet of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, that he may put an end to their godless system of education, and impious laws of liberty of conscience which are an insult to God and man!

The Vatican is the storehouse of an immense number of ancient manuscripts. During the long interval of nearly 1,500 years they have been accumulating, from trial after trial, books and manuscripts confiscated from their sentenced victims, to their own profit. The Catholics may plead that the books were generally committed to the flames; that the treatises of famous sorcerers and enchanters perished with their accursed authors. But the Vatican, if it could speak, could tell a different story. It knows too well of the existence of certain closets and rooms, access to which is had but by the very few. It knows that the entrances to these secret hiding-places are so cleverly concealed from sight in the carved frame-work and under the profuse ornamentation of the library-walls, that there have even been Popes who lived and died within the precincts of the palace without ever suspecting their existence...

...When one has such treasures at hand - original manuscripts, papyri, and books pillaged from the richest libraries; old treatises an magic and alchemy; and records of all the trials for witchcraft, and sentences for the same to rack, stake, and torture, it is mighty easy to write volumes of accusations against the Devil. We affirm on good grounds that there are hundreds of the most valuable works on the occult sciences, which are sentenced to eternal concealment from the public, but are attentively read and studied by the privileged who have access to the Vatican Library
